There is more, but the post would be too big to fit everything.

        “practical person” lmao, insane. Any “practical person” would be against all Imperialism on the basis that killing people to steal their stuff is bad because idk, basic empathy?

          Literally said Russia is the lesser evil, despite them being involved in multiple genocides currently.

            All these motherfuckers switch from trying to present themselves as pure and idealistic to realpolitik very goddamn fast once the behaviors of the regimes they support are brought up.

    The “Russia isn’t as bad as Israel” argument is really weird. Let’s compare the latest campaigns in the most simple way possible:

    Russia proudly proclaims they’ve killed over 600.000 Ukrainians. Palestine says Israel has killed 45.000 of them. Wouldn’t this make Russia at the very least 12 times worse just at first glance?

      Honestly, i think comparing wars, invasions or genocides is kind of stupid. What’s the point of seeing who has committed more genocide/massacres? Both conflicts are completely unjustified in the first place. But people like OOP don’t seem to understand that.

      It’d be like comparing the Rwandan genocide to the Cambodian genocide. They’re both genocides, and that’s bad. Doesn’t matter if one is more genocidal than the other. It’s all bikeshedding.

    Using logic to argue someone out of a position they didn’t use logic to get to is the definition of wasted time.
