'The easiest way to get rid of addiction is to have someone take away your drugs. We should thank Ukraine for taking away our Russian drug'

Actual quote in a Dutch thread about Ukraine/US blowing up Nord Stream 2. I swear you can't debate with this level of stupidity.

This seriously sounds like the "eat less peasant"
- I certainly hope they eat less peasant. I advise against eating the peasantry at all.
  
  We need to eat the rich before they eat us
That is not at all how you treat an addiction
- This is exactly how to make an addict a criminal.
Debating online is largely pointless, only use it has is to convince the lurker and even then Im doubtful about the effectiveness of even that. I only do it to blow off steam tbh
- There was a post about this on the Dutch socialist sub as well. I replied with a somewhat cynical comment on the war and a few people came out calling me an imperialist. Some other guy stood by my side and said that this isn't imperialism and that he should read Lenin's work.
  The response was: 'No, I'm not going to read a book!'
  After that you just stop bothering to be honest. It is pointless indeed.
  
  Time is wasted on the Dutch "socialist" subreddit anyway. Ultra and leftcom moderators regularly remove articles about Holodomor and China there. They are not very fond of ML's
- My existence online has mostly been lurking until I came to this site. I never had a Reddit account.
Level of stupidity that gets your head spinning. Completely lack of understanding of addictions and their treatment aside what part of russian gas was an “addiction” ?
Libs not know you need energy to operate industry and all that ? Am I addicted to water cause I drink 4L of it a day ? Perhaps…
No cocaine?
Side note: Elensky really took it all tho
Considering that Russia continues to supply gas through Ukrainian territory... lol
Because there's nothing to debate. They've decided that hurting Russia is more important than human life.
Unless that gas was huffable which I doubt natural gas is, that's a shitty attempt at an analogy.
That sounds like the victim thanking the aggressor, in international politics, as it is an act of war against Germany and the rest of Europe for the destruction of Nord Stream 2.
So what stage of grief is this? Denial? Bargaining?
- Between the two
