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!
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?
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.
Fuck off genocide apologist
If you’re fascist and antifascists come for you, you have a choice. You can give it up. You can go renounce what you said. You could just go on with the rest of your life and stop turning up at fascist rallies. Anti fascists probably aren’t going to buy you a pint and be your best friend but they’ll move on. But if you’re a person of color, if you’re trans, or a person with a disability or gay or Jewish, and fascists come for you, there is nothing you can do to make them happy except stop existing. If you’re a political enemy of antifa, you can become a friend. If you’re a political enemy of fascism, either they lose or you die.

I. NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK
Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn’t that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?
It won’ t do!
It won’t do!
You must investigate!
You must not talk nonsense!

“They tried to take the capital” does not translate to “they wanted to annex the whole country.” Taking the enemy’s capital is a smart move in war because it severely diminishes their ability to fight and thus makes it easier to extract the concessions you want.
