And speaking of ancient history, does anyone remember that much hyped brigade of special LGTBQXZYPDQ+ Ukrainian soldiers sporting a rainbow colored patch in the shape of a unicorn?

I follow combat reports from Ukraine pretty closely and I haven't seen these brave warriors mentioned anywhere since. Strange, since Ukraine is on its seventh mobilization, press ganging men as old as 70, and needs all the warm live bodies that it can get.

Unless, of course, it was all a publicity stunt.

Unicorn, eh? Well, why not? Who knows what's really going on when you can strike off. Western media unilaterally and must be very careful about the rest as well. I think we can believe the West chipped around $50 billion into this crap shoot, betting the rent on a Ukraine "win," however that is defined. As for sexual identity generally, I couldn't care less. We are what we are and the universe doesn't take sides, so long as it doesn't all end in anihilation.

I bring it up because it was a pretty clear case of empty virtue signaling, intended to keep western liberals on-side.

I wish it was empty, but it seems to be packed with a toxin, a poison pill to enquiry.

You are right, of course: these non-issues always come in handy as distractions.
