Good god damn do I hate this whole mess.

I don't know if there is a good guy in these wars anymore. Normally with enough investigation I can figure out who I at least support ideologically, can't do it anymore. There is so much obfuscation and deliberate mis-information about who people are, and what they fight for, that it's damn near impossible to have an educated idea about all of this shit, let alone a possible solution.
