That's all you have? Just "nuh-uh" and "yall are real fuckin dumb"? 🤣

Have you switched positions? Your original comment was in opposition to a quote advising that we exist in the context of what came before us (systemic racism).

And in context of the comment you seemed to rebuke (with insult) it appeared your position was that of the modern racist who claims racism no longer exists.

I'm glad to hear you acknowledge the continued existence of the problem of racism. When I transpose your insulting comment to the text you quoted above, it seems congruent with your current line of reasoning. Perhaps your original insulting reply was intended to address that top comment you quoted instead of the Einstein quote your reply was attached to. In which case, this entire exchange is based on a simple clerical error.

Either way, the insults did not help in deciphering the intent of your comments as they made it seem like you were an asshole looking to insult progressives.

Courts have become infested with conservatives.

all i said is, you're different from your parents

You forgot the "bitch" part.

and i've apparently become guilty of thought crimes.

Don't worry. You're not on trial here. Implying that racism has been defeated (and so easily) is what has drawn the negative attention.

i take an enormous amount of pleasure knowing you have zero power in the real world

What is this? Are you trying out an insult? Okay. I'll let you have that one.

Which group-thoughts offended you?

Hold on, let me microwave some popcorn.

It's remarkable. When the insult is removed from your argument, it somehow becomes even less intelligent.

Your point is valid. I disagree that such action should be avoided. Holding our current pattern will result in continued death of the innocent.

I believe a much more aggressive posture is needed to win. That posture should include threats that surprise and instill fear and should be followed with swift action (which does not necessarily include atrocities).

It should be made clear to Russia that when they ignore the rules, they are removing the rules that protect them as well. I do not mean to suggest a blanket free-for-all of atrocities, but rather the crossing of some useful lines that we wouldn't normally cross.

But you can rest assured no one is going to do anything because our leadership seems fine with Ukraine being slowly bled to death. Assassinations, explosive aggression and a bit of "unfair" behavior should be on the table to bring an end to this. Unfortunately, an end doesn't seem to be our goal, as we are allowing this to last for years.

The allies were able to fight the Nazis without becoming the Nazis.

Agreed. I think that level of aggression is needed to solve this issue as well. We aren't doing that, though. We are supporting Kyiv just enough to survive while the enemy ignores rule after rule against them.

That's a risk they are taking by fighting Putin at all. He's drawn numerous lines in the sand using the threat of nuking Kyiv, all (or most) of which have been crossed. That's why he's escalated to threatening Europe and the West. Even he is not confident in his arsenal.

I concede that it is more wise to not push to the point of finding out if possible, but I do not believe bending to or negotiating with Putin would be useful in making Ukraine whole again. I also don't think maintaining our current milquetoast approach to defending Ukraine is going to be effective either. I'm mostly in agreement with your positions, I'm just not in absolute agreement. I think a dramatic and swift action against Putin himself (a probable violation of Hague Conventions) would be an effective approach to ending the invasion.

I will hold my tongue on some other violations of international rules because they are vicious and I would (like most people) prefer we avoid them if possible. But, I think it would be an error to remove all such options dogmatically. I think Putin (and Russia at large) should be put on notice that when they refuse to play by the rules, the rules may be suspended in actions against them.

I have not suggested any of those actions at all. Also, we are in disagreement about the threat of Putin's ancient nuclear armament which has been maintained by notorious black-market scalpers for the past 50+ years.

Conservatives would be furious if they could read.

You have been permanently banned from c/Conservative.

The targets need not be civilian.

The Russians are violating an agreement. When a party leaves an agreement, there is no longer an agreement. It is impractical for one party to abide by this specific agreement when that party suffers death as a result.

Sounds like Russians are harvesting live organs from living POW's, then sending the victims' remains back as a "fuck you" to the families.

Since Russia ignores the Geneva Convention, they should be excluded from it. Ukraine ahould be permitted to exterminate cockroaches inside of Russia.

Republicans will work tirelessly to ban this in the U.S.

Why does he like Vance so much?

I would. Apple has a long history of intentionally crippling its services on Firefox.
