I'm surprised no one here has organized something like this yet.

Yes, the CEO needs more baby oil to keep the old gears turning.

I question this idea that violence should only be viewed through a lens of who is superior to the other. Morality is not about being better. It's about reducing suffering in the world. And your opponents think nonviolence simply doesn't accomplish that, and in this case I don't blame them.

Oh. 🤔 That is actually a very good question.

Through IRC servers and not Discord's corporate control, yes

You're drawing a dangerous false equivalency between the invaders and the invaded and because of it, you're not getting your message across. You may not care, but the rest of the world does, and the others in the thread clearly do feel that people like you complaining about the drone attacks unfairly burdens Ukraine because it limits their options in the face of genocide. They view the drone attacks as necessary, possibly as part of a larger plan to invade Russia, and you're not adequately explaining why it's unnecessary and unhelpful.

In principle, you are asking Ukraine to accept genocide rather than do things that, in these circumstances, are normal acts of war -- drone attacks on civilians has been a thing for over a decade now and is simply never going to go away no matter how much you want it to -- because ultimately, the situation boils down to a choice between launching drone attacks and accepting genocide, and if we accept your way of thinking, we'd have to accept the genocide. Is that really what you want?

Self-defense is a human right and a moral principle that the others stand for that you're clearly not respecting, yet you speak of principle. Why should your principles prevail over it? Why should innocent people have to die to satisfy you?

I don't really think you've thought this through

I'm not one for dramatics, but HOLY FUCK.

That's BAD. It's obvious what they really intend now. How do we stop them?

It's amazing how positive solutions never come to the minds of anyone who talks about this.

Human expansion into space is a likely outcome too. Haven't you considered that?

It's strange how they almost never follow the no-excessive-bail requirement and nobody bats an eye.

It's because people are becoming increasingly violent as political tensions come to a head, and climate collapse drives it onward.

The article says Ukrainian troops are going to be trained to fly F-16s in August, so his take is more realistic than yours honestly

Just because bad things befell other lottery winners doesn't mean it'll happen to you, though. You have the power to act on the wisdom of the past and do better than your predecessors, and one needs to have the courage to do so to get anywhere in life.

Don't let your life pass you by, fren
