what doubt am i sowing by calmly explaining how international politics work to someone that did not even know OTAN doesnt have veto powers? you cannot even define a basic term like "imperalism" and resort to childish insults. a sad day for western keyboard warriors
GoldenCow
no but the aforementioned countries are and they have prevented ukraines membership into otan
there is no veto in otan you are confusing this with the united nations
i denounce the violence but i must ask you why do you call it a genocide when the international criminal court has not done so?
you are a disingenuous liar i have said nothing of the sort as there is plenty of proof that many other countries do not want ukraine in nato
russia should not have invaded ukraine, fuck putin, and how is this imperalism?
the only country trying to extract resources from ukraine is the united states
you are arguing in bad faith with this motte-and-bailey fallacy.
me and the OP are putting forth that the united states has escalated the conflict.
united states has provided ukraine with a long-range army tactical missile system that can reach deep into Russian-occupied areas -- or even strike more deeply into Russia itself.
This is without a doubt an escalation, making OP's statement true.
you are trying to conflate this with the statement, russia is responsible for the invasion, which is true.
this is why i said two things can be true at once while you consistently use ad-hominums, strawmen, motte & bailey fallacies to discuss in bad-fath
please do better
I have always maintained the position that Ukraine is fighting a war of self defense and fighting for their sovereignty. I have always maintained that Putin’s war is illegal and unjustifiable; and that what Russia should do to pull out completely and enact reparations. I have always maintained that I am in complete support of supplying arms to Ukraine, same as any other people fighting against Imperialism and/or Colonialism. I also consider Putin’s invasion justifies the need of a European security pact, although I’d prefer it to be one without the US. And yes, Putin’s war is a genocide, as multiple genocide scholars have expressed.
The user does exactly what you asked the user to do??
you are trying to change the framing with "what about" irrelevant topics, and i already answered you, ill say it more clear
lemmy instances enforce their code of conduct you did not provide any examples other than ones that came to you in a dream of how hexbear's code of conduct were blatently broken
where is your answer about why one community is ok but another is a toxic, brigading one? every one of those communities has screenshots and other identifying information that can easily be used to find the originating comment, post or user.
You dont need current federation as hexbear was "premtively defederated" by lemmy.world so how could they brigade here anyway? you are grasping at straws and still have no proof to your claims
a shame you continue lying hexbear doesn't have downvotes enabled
how can you say commenting on a post is brigading if you have no correlation of the usernames in those posts once again you have made a dishonest claim with no evidence
you are using whataboutism please stop commenting in bad faith to defend your dishonest nature
how is slop any different from !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works or !fediverselore@lemmy.ca or !yepowertrippinbastards@lemmy.dbzer0.com ? they all include links or pictures of users the poster deems bad
there is no proof of "swaths of hexbear users" going to brigrade the post go ahead and make a kbin/piefed account and compare upvotes and accounts if you need to
try posting "ukraine has nazis" in !ukraine@sopuli.xyz or "the xinjian reducation camps have been closed for years" in !world@lemmy.world and see what happens
the !196@lemmy.blahaj.zone community just bans you for even having an alt on hexbear
how is what hexbear doing any different from other every other instance?
You are a shameful liar.
Doxxing is explicitly against their code of conduct: "Do not publish, comment, message, or post personally identifiable information about other users. We also strongly discourage posting any personally identifiable information about yourself." They are the only instance that doesn't log IP addresses in their database and scrubs meta-data from any image uploaded there.
Where are their communities dedicated to brigading? There is no actual proof of them doing anything like that, more so it is the most active instance (4.9 million comments) so anyone posting blatant lies like you will be confronted.
Hexbears troll and give personal attacks against either those that start it with them or people who are racist, homophobic, transphobic, or ableist.
You are yet another disingenuous liar.
While western countries are restricting youth access to HRT, China is establishing a clinic dedicated to providing HRT to trans Chinese teens?
More trans people are killed in the west than in China or Russia
