Whew lad. Interacting with people like you really puts into perspective how inept the average internet user is.
Economic violence = sanctions on Russia
"physical violence Russia has exerted on the Ukrainian populace" = war in Ukraine
Both are happening right now at the same time.
You'll understand when you're older.
You're causing more harm than good.
Viva la self-hosting!
Power to the people!
Not sure why you're arguing "better" when we have both.
No, it's not right.
People on these forums have been conditioned to see the world through their fairytale-lens and nothing else, though.
A part of oppression is removing people's ability to fight back. Anyone who holds the average Russian responsible for the war is just playing into the hands of the cabal. It's like they never heard of Navalny, or any other Russian dissenters.
These people need our help. We shouldn't victim-blame them and say they need to topple a dictator all on their own.
Same goes for North Korea.
a majority (according to relatively independent statistics) of the population stil supports that shit and has done so for a long time
Most Russians are afraid to talk about politics at all. Their responses when questioned are either "I agree with what the government is doing" or "I don't talk politics."
We should be strengthening our ties with these oppressed people in order to help them, and help Ukraine as a result. Instead we're doing the "average intelligence" play of furthering their oppression while funneling money to the MIC.
This war has been a great example of how many useful idiots are around us.
It is bullshit, you're right.
Government and major corporations are the exact same entity in the US.
American here, please do this.
All of our companies are run by scumbags taking advantage of useful idiots. We need more options and legitimate competition.
Remember kids, racism and bigotry are always okay if it's against the right people.
Everyone who is censored, everyone who abuses their mod powers; it just creates an opportunity for people to pick up the slack and create better communities.
You only have yourselves to blame, dickhead mods.
Oh yeah. I always like to see if there is someone else who has made one for me before doing it myself.
Shame how much censorship goes on, but it's another reason to not trust mods "just because they're mods."
