*apologism.
I’ve never seen this “community behave like this… The same turboposters, the same “power commenters” dominate every thread. You’re posting literal Russian state propaganda, and claiming it is “unbiased” and “accurate”.
You’re literally defending war crimes.
What the fuck, u/DomitiusofMassilia?? I understand that you want to allow a “free speech” forum, but you’re losing control of this site…
I appreciate this will be absolutely flooded with downvotes, but I no longer care. Anyone who defends war crimes, invasions of sovereign states, and the killing of innocent civilians, as many of you have, in the last couple of days, is absolutely on the wrong side of history.
So much for Gamergate.
You absolute fucking psychos. You know who you are. You post so much more than 5 times a day, now, and you’ve ruined what value this place had.
Fuck you, Russian trolls.
Calling out globalists beating the war drums in an effort to distract normies from their own collapsing house of cards is not the same as Putin apologia.
I don't give a fuck about Putin or Ukraine: I live in a country that just embarked on a campaign of persecution against peaceful protesters that's so tyrannical it makes Putin look like Thomas Jefferson. More to the point, so do you.
Are you sure this Ukraine bullshit is the fight you want to prioritize?
Ah yes, temporarily banning protests and enforcing Covid rules is exactly on the same level as killing your own citizens, and bombing civilians including children in neighbouring countries...
Gotcha.
Fuck off with this idiotic strawman bullshit. Putin is so much worse than any current Western leader it's not even funny, and it is absolutely delusional to think otherwise.
Our governments are all complicit in bombing civilians, including children, in countries all over the world, and we continue to let them get away with it because we're too comfortable to do anything other than bitch.
But, up to this point, at least we've been free to bitch. Very soon, we won't even have that.
We have too much of our own shit to deal with to let the same people who've been pissing on us for decades while telling us it was raining drag us into yet another war in order to paint over their own failings. Every last one of our so-called "democratic leaders" would govern like Putin if they thought they could get away with it, and they have literally all just proved it.
If NATO gets involved in this conflict, it will be World War 3. China will become involved, and our supply chains here in North America will be completely disrupted as a result. As for Australia, isolated as you are, the consequences would be even worse. On top of that, NATO involving itself will exponentially increase the likelihood of nuclear war.
There are absolutely no good reasons for why we should let ourselves get dragged into this, and an endless supply of reasons why we shouldn't.
China will very likely offer support and softening the impact of the sanctions. And may even use the chance of the chaos to invade Taiwan. Iran may also take a chance to do something. Will they? I don't know... But China, a frenemy of Russia will very likely do help them in some way.
