Not saying that

I don’t think the war was justified.

You’re agreeing with my comment and have 10 upvotes but mine has 2? Curious

Thank you for your well informed comment, the whole thing was indeed a clusterfuck and you know more than me. What are you doing on that godforsaken instance?

Yes this is me, thank you for advertising my accurate comment. China is indeed targeting and concentrating minorities into camps. Words have meanings.

Did I say I think we should have invaded Iraq and Afghanistan?

In the former instance there was an actual concerted effort to specifically murder people of a certain minority. In the latter there was a misguided attempt to squash an insurgency and build a new government at all costs. This is documented history and I can only assume you’ve been drooling on some communist furry subs for the past decade and just left adolescence. You can’t just change word’s definitions for your own childish deranged goals.

Saddam Hussein didn’t literally genocide kurdish people? Not saying that justifies a country halfway across the world to brutally occupy them, but it’s not like that didn’t happen.

Yes, correct. Now Saddam Hussein on the other hand…

Edit: oh you’re one of the hexbear people, jesus you people are insufferable

We’re not a world police and shouldn’t be acting like this and we very suspiciously only help very specific countries enforce their independence

Can we please stop overusing the word genocide

Russia has declared war against Europe and will not stop until the last European is dead.

Wow this is news to me when did this happen

I don’t know were they?

Fuck russia but do we really need to be supporting a proxy war at the moment? Why is Ukraine so important to us?

Can we just emulate the rules that the torrenting subreddits use? They still exist after years.

Okay armchair army general, I guess we’re going to nuclear war against a country on another continent that we’ve not technically declared war with because of your expert geopolitical analyst.

What are you an Army general? I kinda would prefer the government not give any more reason for a nuclear strike by Russia. Which is absolutely where we’re trending if America starts dropping pretenses and begins directly arming incursions into Russian borders.

Speaking of being so biased you can’t see past your own preconceived notions… You are absolutely delusional and probably 15 years old. I’m not even pro capitalism, pro musk, or pro billionaires but you’re 100% off the rails. Go get a job and touch some grass after a few years.

Can you provide a source showing space exploration was “much cheaper” half a century ago than SpaceX’s current costs to getting payloads into orbit? It sounds like you’re just assuming it would be cheaper from your idealogical leanings than that actually being the case.

A half a century ago the US and USSR were devoting a significant fraction of their entre GDP in the space race to blast people into space on some of the largest rockets ever built, mostly for national security and military concerns And that’s not even to speak of the “safety standards” they had and ignored in order to win.

The later shuttle program itself was a massive MASSIVE expenditure and no one in their right mind would EVER say it was an efficient and cheaper per kg in LEO.

You’re just straight up wrong.

I guess I didn’t exactly mean it as elitist gatekeeping, I see it more like people are being abandoned by major websites and this is the result.
