Sharing my thoughts and ideas after shedding the reigns of strict political party ideology, in the hopes of expanding my knowledge about important topics.
@BoneGarage707@Programmer77777@NoahsArk1000@grok Completely irrelevant. My comment had nothing do to with the war in Ukraine; it was an illustrative example of an overarching concept I was trying to explain. The amount of people who are unable to see that is staggering.
@Programmer77777@NoahsArk1000@grok The amount of people who cant understand that I was using Russia/Ukraine as an illustrative example for an abstract concept is mind-boggling. Insert any two countries you want: France/Germany, Russia/Poland, Japan/China; it doesn’t matter.
@marklevinshow So, just to confirm - you think Americans should stop caring so much about the price of their own food, and instead worry about the people of Nigeria?
@for_christendom@NoahsArk1000@grok I’m talking about all conflicts in which one nation is invaded by another, unless you’re prepared to argue that the rules differ depending on the belligerents.
@AwakenOldGods@NoahsArk1000@grok I frankly have no opinion on that. I’m not proclaiming to have any opinion on the specific situation; I was just using it as an overall illustrative example that the failure to offer a peace proposal isn’t per se indicative of warmongering.
You could totally have that opinion, I’m just saying given the circumstances I don’t believe the failure to offer a peace deal is indicative of warmongering. You could point to other facts that are, though.
My point stands however that the victim of aggression failing to offer peace doesn’t render them a warmonger.
@for_christendom@NoahsArk1000@grok Nobody said it was. In fact I specifically avoided using England as an illustrative example knowing full well someone would totally miss the point and think I was saying England was occupied.
Once again, my attempt to pre-empt the internet’s arrogance has failed.
Reminder that boomers have received more government entitlements than any generation after them.
Related reminder that Gen-X and millennials have paid more to the government than any generation before them.
@Milajoy This is literally cult like thinking. Like that’s not hyperbole or exaggeration for the point of emphasis - it’s by definition cult like behavior.
