I am getting to know a comedian who often posts interesting things. His name is Anton.

Anton is part of a team that made a film called Comedy of War – have a look at their trailer. I recently watched the film and I thought it was beautiful and tender. A moving story about the healing power of laughter. Anton is a comedian from Kyiv. And there is nothing funny now about life in Ukraine.

This is a post that Anton recently made :

Americans deserve Trump. I hope in Europe also conspiracy populists will win next elections and you will all live in chaos with your foil hats. I’m just tired to see how uncomfortable to you the fact that Ukrainians are still alive and fighting. I’m sorry for this, I know you’ve spent so many nerves on it and I realise nerves can’t be restored.

This is so fun to see your hypocrisity. You like to talk about democracy or justice on dozens of forums or documentaries but in face of real problem you just concerned and mumbling smth while north korea, iran get into war on russia side. They provide russia with bombs and you provide us with petitions, presentation and memorandums. Thank you, I always knew that Excel spreadsheet is very effective against Iranian drones.

They are killing childrens everyday and UN head shake hands with them. As I understand the best Antonio Guterres can do to stop putin for couple of minutes is masturbate his dick. Masturbate with two fingers because it’s peace sign.

I wish you all to live in conspiracy nonsense you deserve with your own stupidness. You did nothing to stop it. You didn’t change your lifestyle to face new reality like we in Ukraine do. It would be much better if you all were authoritarian regimes. In this case you will release us from listening your hypocrisy shit how concerned you are. Just say “we don’t fucking care” and live your life. I had so many interviews with foreign journalists about “culture and humour during war”, cause that’s my topic. And all your questions, journalists, made me fell that I speak with 9-years old kids who is writing essay for school. You should stop reading your high-educated books and listening podcasts about liberalism problems. Just open your fucking eyes and see the war and then just to do the right thing.

Much of what Anton says here resonates with me, sadly. What a world we are living in. No one seems to care. Greed is the driving force of the world. That is my view – I pray I am very wrong.

One week ago the chaos was chosen. The irony of it all. Trump’s next presidency will see the rich getting richer and the rest getting squeezed more than ever. Minimum wage going up … forget about it. And another irony: the people that voted for Trump … he could care less about them. The biggest question I have sometimes asked myself: what does Trump actually care about? Besides himself that is. Well, we will all find out soon. Or we may not. He sounds crazy so often, so perhaps he is just that, a crazy narcissist.

Trump has no class and he is a bullshit artist. A business wizard he is not. But enough of this. The mainstream liberal media is already letting rip, and they are losing more and more eyeballs. What a fruit salad.

The difference between Trump and the Democrats, in my cynical view … not much. Neither of them actually care. The Democrats just pretend to care. Trump doesn’t pretend. He just shoots from the hip-replacement, and tells so many lies and makes up so many things, that he is more about chaos than anything else. Seems that lies are a bit part of modern life on social media, so perhaps it all just fits the bill.

Ukraine is the perfect example. If Biden really cared then how is it that Ukraine has only received 10% of the weapons that were promised this year, according to Zelensky. This actually raises an interesting point. If Trump cuts off aid to Ukraine would it even make a difference. Ukraine is getting hardly anything so if Trump cuts off the little they are getting it is not like Ukraine will be losing a big brother. There is even some thinking going around in Kyiv that perhaps Trump may shake things up, and that could lead to some change. Will it be a good change … time will tell. Uncertainty is the new norm, unfortunately.

Wow, 2025 is going to be a roller-coaster. I reckon inflation is going to up a notch or two. The checks and balances that apparently used to be in place are about to go the window in the US – it looks like a free for all.

The biggest war that will one day face us all is going to be between the haves and the have nots. The wealth gap is off the charts, and under Trump it is going to get worse. Greed is why Trump became the president again, and greed is coming to bite us all in the ass.
