This very well may be fake, but it's also entirely possible to identify as trans for any number of reasons. You might say such a person is "not really" trans but, supposing that is true, there's no contradiction between that and some person who doesn't have such ideological convictions having a thought process like you see in this image and acting on it.
That said, I agree that it's probably fake, though I'm not as confident that the poster is a cis impersonator.
That's just called using heuristics, friend, though if ADHD impeded their progress in math, maybe ADHD people rely more on heuristics than neurotypicals do.
Isn't there a version of this with like 5 intersecting thought experiments?
It's wild how they have the audacity to list Tibet as its own country but think nothing of the Reservations 
Presumably "decadent" here means "glorifying capitalism" or wasteful excess more generally, which (not unlike what happened with Germany) is one of the main ways that South Korean media exports try to pander to people's more base desires and these are used to try to exert soft power. It's probably not the best way to go about things, but I'm not in or managing a country under siege.
I may have screwed up in my summarizing of the statement. When I wrote “gain ground” I meant gain support., that’s my bad for doing a terrible job of paraphrasing. What he said in the statement was “[the separatists] were flailing and had comparatively little public backing until Russian troops moved in to support them in 2014.” That’s my bad but I don’t know if what he actually said helps his case.
Then it's just a [citation needed] issue since they did just fine on the referendums that neoliberals reject out of hand, the Azovites still saw fit to butcher thousands, and the East is consistently interested in a conciliatory stance towards Russia. It's still a weak argument. What happened? The public only gained enough confidence in them once they got the direct support of one of the larger militaries in the world? Is that an own somehow? Anyone would gain more public confidence when they went from being shelled to shit to actually winning because Russia put its whole fist on the scale.
With regards to finding solace in my fellow students, I don’t think that’s going to happen any time soon. So far everyone in my classes follows a similar line of thinking, even when one girl (who is an immigrant from Latin America) criticized Hannah Arendt’s “banality of evil” piece we had to read for our holocaust week, in another class she doesn’t pull any punched against the Soviets (essentially equating them to Nazis in how they treated the Polish). Maybe future courses will be better but I won’t hold my breath.
Some people are much easier to disabuse of their shit than professors. Even the person you mention here might be able to be dissuaded. I once dissuaded a student who said "Ukrainians greeted the Nazis as liberators" in a single conversation after class. It's just a matter of certain stories being normalized and never challenged, but often students are much less attached to specific positions than academics are. If someone takes a rhetorically flimsy point but you don't feel up to fighting it during class, consider just approaching them after class and just expressing concern. Avoid being mad or confrontational even if you are frustrated and speak to them like they're a fellow human who is also doing their best but may have been let down by people they trusted to guide them on the right path.
Also consider that there may be people (perhaps like yourself) who don't agree but just don't speak up. Sometimes you need to look for more subtle tells than someone shouting in the middle of class "The Maoist peasant uprising against landlords was the most successful and comprehensive land reform in history . . ." etc.
it wasn’t a civil war, they were Russian backed separatists
i.e. Ukrainians, therefore engaging in a civil war
who had so little public support that they only gained ground after Russian soldier boots hit the ground
They weren't trying to "gain ground", they were trying to separate the ground they had from Ukraine! Why would a minority in Ukraine seek to totally defeat the Ukrainian military like Russia is doing? That would be suicide to attempt. This dude is a fucking rube.
There is a right wing presence in Ukraine but it is not that pervasive, especially not in the military and government.
Citation fucking needed that Azov does not represent a pervasive issue, or that Holocaust-denying ambassadors don't. This fucker can only make a claim like this by rewriting history to claim banderites were progressive and then on top of that ignoring the Nazi iconography and actual hate crimes and war crimes committed against other ethnicities. Worthless perspective.
The Red and Black flag is literally "blood and soil", this isn't hard. Jesus . . .
These arguments are so bad they refute themselves. Unfortunately, that doesn't help you all that much since he's dumb enough to assert them. This guy reminds me of some other well-meaning de facto liberal historians I've known. You're better off trying to find solidarity with students than professors most of the time, unless you can find the odd immigrant or someone whose lived experience encourages them to take a perspective more like yours. It sucks, but you can probably find at least one or two allies.
Even if everyone at your school does suck, remember that you aren't alone and you aren't crazy. Being "fringe" is to be expected of decent and informed people when the status quo is monstrous, and in fact I'd say it's necessary.
It's not about revanchism but what the better aspects of their heritage are. The current government rejects the SR and endlessly lionizes the OUN and shit like that.
Being "closer to a SR than the Russian Federation is" is like being "closer to a house than an elephant is," it's not a useful comparison. Only the most braindead moron takes Russia's side believing it's still anything like the SR (contrary to some weird "anti-tankie" claims), they support it for other reasons like, idk, being more accepting of ethnic pluralism or being preferred by Donbas or not lionizing actual perpetrators of the Holocaust.
Do you really think there would be an unironic Ukrainian-flag-waver on lemmygrad? Ukrainian SR, absolutely, but not the blue and yellow.
Optimization only happens within constraints. How the game is built represents the constraints.
But in a game where you can pause, making a rule of not pausing would put you at a drastically lower "power level" than someone who pauses.
Whether not having a pause is justified or not, you surely must know this isn't a good response, right? "Just play wildly suboptimally for dramatic effect" is not viable game design.
I'll give them a little bit of credit for even calling China leftwing, but I think that this is more indicative of their turn against democracy and desire for a benevolent monarchy. Their conception of China still looks to be unreconstructed.
