I explicitly support my relatives from Ukraine after fleeing Russia, but I don't post anything anti-war on my social media. Does this count as pro- or anti-war?

I personally don’t care about what you post on social media. The question is more, are you taking an active stance against this war?

Actively supporting Ukrainians is taking an active stance. As long as you don’t do anything actively pro-war on the side, that is good enough in my book.

Of course others will disagree and say you have to post some bullshit hashtag or donate or whatever. In my opinion it’s about what you CAN do, not about what some internet rando wants you to do.
