Let’s have a war!

Ous: making the tragedy of the brutal invasion of Ukraine about you is not becoming at all.

I don’t mean to make it about me one bit.

If anything, I mean to make it about the people directly affected, which seems completely lost on perhaps everyone but me.

The ignore feature allows the rightwing echo chamber to agree strongly with itself.

I don't mind people disagreeing. I even welcome it. I choose IGNORE when people just decide to go full abusive/angry/insulting/demeaning on every response. It's sad and pathetic and I have better things to do with my time than process that kind of garbage.

Now this thread going behind QT…full circle

you mean the Ukrainian citizens?

the ones who voted for independence? the ones who voted to be part of NATO? the ones who are having their civilian infrastructure attacked on the reg? or the kids that were kidnapped? or the citizens who’ve been forced to get russian passports?

yeah, that’s exactly what you’ve made this about?

[ousdahl]

Yea.

I’ll have to brush up on that whole nato vote you Stan so hard for. And is “vote for independence” a euphemism for, “militant right wing coup?”

But, I highly doubt the average Ukrainian citizen is saying things like, “at least we’re weakening Russia for Merica’s sake!” Or, “at least NATO is getting to flex on China!” Or, “at least the western MIC is cleaning house with those obsolete weapons stashes!”

In fact, I’d guess the average Ukrainian wants this shit to be over with just as much as Qusdahl.

These guys are really bad at making points:

Sparky has you confused with Bill Kristol.

[Sparko]

Sparko believes that Ous and DC share socks.

[DCHawk1]

Yeah, but Sparky's meds are being adjusted.

I hope.

[ousdahl]

sparko might be onto something.

but, be careful! Don't get too curious! next thing you know, you might be questioning things like, this push to whitewash the whole nazi problem as Russian propaganda.

Speaking of which...


DRINK!!!

Germany and Russia were enemies in WWII?

Who knew?

[ousdahl]

well if that's news to you, we can only imagine how surprised you're gonna be to learn the US used to consider nazis to be the bad guys.

If Nazis were our biggest problem in Ukraine,
you'd have a point.

They aren't,
so you don't.

[Sparko]

Again. Ous. Man. Let it go.

[DCHawk1]

Sigh.

From the same playbook - literally the same one - as the right-wing bad faith nonsense around using extremely rare instances of boys competing in girls' sports to advance anti-trans agendas.
