If I said that I supported people's rights to sell marijuana and I didn't even think they should get much jail time for it, people would rightly point out that I was lying about my support.

You stated that you supported self determination for people in the Donbas, and I didn't ignore it at all, I'm saying that even within the same post you proved that you actually didn't when you referred to their allies entering their territory as an invasion.

Again, I'm not ignoring anything, I just think you're a liar and that you only started pretending to support the Donbas's self determination because doing otherwise would undermine the point you were trying to make about Taiwan.

It came into your head for a reason, liar. I guess going forward, nobody should assume that you mean what you say.

Honestly I wouldn't even much of a problem if they just invaded Donbas

How could they possibly invade the Donbas at all when they were invited?

Hey, coward, explain how you can simultaneously believe that the Donbas is independent and that when Russian troops entered their territory at their request that constituted an invasion.

Explain or admit that you don't consistently believe in self determination.

I'm almost certain they can, I think they just lack the posting power of

You can argue about anything, but these countries are absolutely US vassals.

I'd expect US vassals like Canada, Japan and the EU to side with the US.

Free speech to say what, friend?

I sorta want to explore this experience as an outsider, but I'm curious, what was that like?

I don't think I really thought of my tastes based on the gender of the performer in my youth, I just was into Linkin Park and adjacent stuff because I was an edgy 13 year old rejecting my mom, but to be honest "and adjacent stuff" didn't include many (any?) female performers. As a ~9 year old I did hate Hansen because a girl I liked liked them (I couldn't explain how that makes sense, it seems absurd to me in retrospect also), but they were all dudes (target audience was young girls though IIRC). By the time I was making my own listening choices (as a kid, had no influence on the car radio) I didn't hate pop, just didn't really seek it out. Hated 80s stuff because my mom only listened to that and "praise songs" but I've grown out of that.

Did you listen to artists you liked in secret?

Except to the degree that I was avoiding getting my CDs snapped in half for being "Satanic" no.

How are your music tastes now?

Indie rock/pop mostly. Favorite bands have a mix of male and female vocalists (Stars, San Fermin) some are fronted only by women (Misterwives, Lake Street Dive, Purity Ring, Lucius).

Any recommendations on music that feels different on a revisit?

I like 80s music okay now I guess? Just the hits, don't seek it out so I don't know any niche stuff. I definitely recognize that my earlier ill feelings toward it were tied up in "anything my evangelical mom likes is bad by virtue of her liking it."

Until you actually clarify everyone is going to assume you're mad that you can't say the n-word and are a huge bigot.

EDIT: at this point, even if you clarify, I personally will assume you're just covering your ass

Is free speech just the ability to say slurs?

Maybe free speech is bad then.
