Americans are fond of calling people Good Samaritans.
The point of the Good Samaritan parable is the Samaritan stopped to help a person he was supposed to hate, someone from another culture, one considered his enemy, and he helped after people considered allies had refused to help.
There is a difference between a good person and a Good Samaritan.
Today De Santis called a man a Good Samaritan because he choked another man to death.
We should call it the Russian invasion of Ukraine, not the Ukraine War. War suggests two sides in dispute, this was a straight up invasion, a large country invading a small country. There can be no negotiation, the only fair outcome is the invasion ends.
People who don’t want to pay for public transport because they never use it need to take a moment to imagine the traffic they’d spend their lives in if everyone else didn’t use it.

Thanks for checking. I’m trying going through a different app and streaming Viceland instead of the on demand stream, it’s on ads, I’ll soon find out if I’ve cracked it.
I’m not sure any organisation performing under the name Russian Orthodox can complain about pro Putin extremists, considering the Russian Orthodox Church is a pro Putin extremist organisation.

I’m guessing the way Twitter works now is someone posts a lie, possibly with a faked or inaccurately identified photo or video as evidence, then the replies are stacked with paying accounts believing the lie and being outraged by it, so no one scrolls down far enough to find a sensible person refuting the lie?
It seems the logical outcome. I can’t see how it’s useful, unless stirring division is your idea of fun.
In 2020 the Australian government doubled the unemployment benefit because “nice”, middle class people were suddenly compelled to live on it for a while.
Of course the rate was halved again when it was just “bludgers” having to survive on this benefit.
Making unemployed people live in poverty is a choice, our government makes a judgement on “worthiness” when it chooses to leave some Australians behind.
The suits men are supposed to wear are stoopid. They’re wide open at the front, which is stoopid in a cool climate, the stoopid pockets rarely work well, the stoopid buttons need to be constantly buttoned and unbuttoned, they only look good if you stand around like a stoopid catalogue model.
Then there’s the stoopid ties that go with the stoopid suits. They’re stoopid too.
