Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is “a blow against US / NATO imperialism” completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because “Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east”, acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

    Sure wish we could put you in front of a long line of Ukrainian bereaved so you can tell them their family’s deaths weren’t the act of an evil man.

    I wonder how many of them will spit in your face.

    Putin ordered a false flag strike that killed russian grandmothers just to propel himself into office. He IS evil and your bullshit both sidesism deserves to be slapped out of your brain.

      Your comment has nothing to do with what I wrote.
      But yeah, I’d rather have Ukrainians spit in my face than go to war.
      I’d rather be killed by Russians than go to war, for that matter.

        It seems you have been so privileged to grow up in a country where mortal violence is not a pressing threat.

        There are people in the world that would gladly kill you for your shoes, or for fun, or even for sexual pleasure.

        What do you do when one of those people target you or your family?

        There is no reasoning with them, there is no reaction except to run or fight.

        Pooty poot sent orcs to kill Ukrainian civilians, the elderly, women, children. There are tens of thousands of people who will never see their families again, would any amount of talking or self-sacrifice stop them if they were breaking into your family house?

        You have every right to choose to be a pacifist, and I guess there is some degree of self-satisfaction to it, but pacifism will not stop an violent madman if he chooses to target you or someone you love.

          I defend myself and my family, with deadly force if necessary.
          But as I said in another comment, war isn’t self defense. It’s defense of the nation, which is something completely different, although nationalists like to pretend it’s the same.
