  • Well you edited your original response right after seeing this but your original comment talked about how the US only killed 18 people last year but these foreign countries in the middle east were more violent and killed hundreds, and how, even if you include police brutality this still “stands true.”

    It’s hard for me to include your exact words since you took steps to obscure them but I think if you’re honest with yourself you can admit you were downplaying the violence committed by the US on its populace relative to Iran.






  • I’d never considered this, but of course it came down to economics- weird how often massive crimes against humanity come down to some bourgeois thief wanting to take more for themselves and willing to do anything to do it.

    Just did a little reading on it, they stole 400 million (1942) dollars worth of farmland from Japanese-Americans, which is like 7 billion adjusted for inflation, and basically just gave them to agribusiness corporations.

  • We used to allow downvoting, we just got rid of it to stop trolls from making multiple accounts to downvote every comment from people they disliked (specifically trans users were getting their comments brigaded like this) and it turned out to be a great choice because it encouraged discussion if you disagreed with someone.

    Also we’re definitely not “Russian or CCP farmed trolls” why would they have paid people to talk amongst themselves for three years? I mean I could really use the supplemental income so I wish, been putting off car repairs for months due to finances.






  • You keep saying that you support it and then adding caveats that prove that you actually don’t.

    “I support Tom’s claim that he owns this house and would only want brief jail time for Susan’s breaking and entering through the unlocked front door when he invited her over to help protect him from his neighbors Steve, who keeps shooting at him. That said, Susan went way too far when she also did a breaking and entering into Steve’s yard to attack him while he continued to shoot at Tom while shouting ‘That house is rightful Steve property and Tom the cockroach can scurry back to Susan’s house.’”

    If someone said this, the only logical conclusion is that they actually fully support Steve and are lying about supporting Tom.




  • If I said that I supported people’s rights to sell marijuana and I didn’t even think they should get much jail time for it, people would rightly point out that I was lying about my support.

    You stated that you supported self determination for people in the Donbas, and I didn’t ignore it at all, I’m saying that even within the same post you proved that you actually didn’t when you referred to their allies entering their territory as an invasion.

    Again, I’m not ignoring anything, I just think you’re a liar and that you only started pretending to support the Donbas’s self determination because doing otherwise would undermine the point you were trying to make about Taiwan.
