Funny how on the rare occasion they respond to posts like this one, it’s to make a snide comment about Russian bots
“If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
The purpose of the “Russian bot” accusation is to use an unfalsifiable claim to avoid actually having to engage with someone’s arguments without admitting that you can’t rebut them
Since you apparently like Star Trek, here’s a video clip describing your situation
Where did the comment you’re replying to say this
lol they gave Ukraine fancy NATO gear hand over fist and Russia turned it all to scrap
You’re just gonna have to get over the fact that whitey doesn’t rule the world
There is no such thing as legitimate opposition to genocide. Anyone who professes such a thing is just saying it to piss people off. Hamas? Trolls! The Houthis? Trolls! The International Criminal Court? Trolls! The huge crowds of protestors across the US? Trolls, every last one of them!
No, no you should not. No investigation, no right to speak.
“Uhhhh ‘the machine’ is clearly Big Woke that’s trying to make us all gay trans Muslims. It’s like you don’t know anything 🙄”
You literally accused someone of being a paid Kremlin agent because they had facts and opinions you didn’t like lmao
What does a rapper have to do with it?
If you know so little about your own country’s credit scoring system, you shouldn’t speak so confidently about one on the other side of the world.
The only people suggesting it’s “good and just” are the MPA and other copyright trolls.
Whole lot of people on board with banning Tiktok, though.
people in the west seem to just implicitly trust Nazi propaganda. It’s an odd phenomenon.
Nazism wasn’t beaten in WW2, it was internationalized
No, you see, Display name@feddit.nu is the one true interpreter of the desires of all people. We should just let them pick every government since clearly they know best.
Is your point that you’re an asshole, because that’s the only thing you’ve managed to prove
you’re just insane
Wow, who would have guessed the social darwinism defender was ableist
Had they been forced to, that would simply be slavery.
Having an obligation to care for others in your community is exactly the same as being rounded up at gunpoint, shipped to a field or a mine halfway across the world, and forced to toil all day every day for barely enough to survive on until you inevitably succumb to the horrible conditions inflicted upon you
It is difficult for me to imagine what “personal liberty” is enjoyed by an unemployed person, who goes about hungry, and cannot find employment.
Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, where there is no oppression of some by others, where there is no unemployment and poverty, where a man is not haunted by the fear of being tomorrow deprived of work, of home and of bread. Only in such a society is real, and not paper, personal and every other liberty possible.

If it walks like a liberal and talks like a liberal, it’s a liberal.
Your crops are picked by exploited immigrants, the coltan in your electronics mined by African child slaves, and the electronics themselves assembled on 14-hour shifts by sweatshop workers under capitalism. And you still have to pay for them.
What you’re describing are colonialism and slavery, both of which are time-honored, bedrock capitalist institutions.
