Just realized that the first time the Swarm was on a CoD game was on BO2, which takes place in 2025, lmfao

    I am just teasing out exciting (well as exciting as war can be, which is horrific)

    I wish people were more willing to confront the horror and less eager to speculate on the excitement.

    Instead, we just see bloodlust. People online clutching their keyboards in rapt anticipation of the next bombing or shelling or assassination, like this isn’t costing uncounted civilian lives to put points on the board.

    What do you want? More solemnity? Do you want us to not cheer for Ukraine? I mean what the hell is your goal?

    To get people to see this as an ongoing disaster, tragedy, and fundamental political failure, rather than some kind of CoD Twitch Stream epic playthrough.

      I want you to take a second and look at the post that we are commenting on right now and remind you that we are on a community called “shitpost.”

      Edit: I am fully aware of how horrific the situation is for Ukraine and Russia alike. I’m sorry you don’t believe me. But I am also going to cheer when they pull off successful operations and advance their cause. I want Ukraine to survive. I want Ukraine to thrive after this war. I will not apologize for cheering when they pull off impressive operations. That does not preclude my acknowledging the horrors of war. Now kindly leave me alone.
