It’s almost like America is starting a trade war or something.

Modern day “freak” shows.

Come! See the amazing despair! Watch the death defying debauchery of daring do! For an extra $5 you can spit on them!

Do any of you think this matters?

Idealism.

There are, in fact, incompetent people that lived their whole lives facing zero consequences.

The fact that they have 100% satisfaction makes me think other gender-affirming surgeries and procedures which have less than 100% satisfaction are actually suffering from inadequate development of the technology, rather than some kind of fundamental regret.

Advance the technology further and we’ll likely see all rates of regret drop to 0

What this study implies to me is that our therapeutic screening process is already very good.

0% regret. That’s amazing!

He’s gotta find someone to blame when the next recession starts.

More than a fifth of Chinese age 16 to 24 are out of work.

Does that include people in school?

Viktor Yanukovych, the legitimately elected president who had not resigned and had not been impeached, was unconstitutionally removed from power before that because he was forced to flee the country and parliament saw an opportunity to make a lot of money cozy up to the EU with a trade pact. Those elections had no constitutional basis, but we don’t care about that because Russia bad.

queermunist, 10 months ago

Let him think he won.

queermunist, 10 months ago

They removed him illegally! They didn’t impeach him because he didn’t actually commit an impeachable offense, they just voted to get rid of him. It was an unconstitutional move that had the fullthroated support and backing of the EU and NATO, hence, a Western-backed coup. Russia saw a Western backed coup on its boarder and saw its geopolitical rivals getting ready to plant their flag right against its border, so it reacted in an extreme and unjustified (though understandable) way. Russia was provoked into overextending itself and now the US/NATO strategy is to bleed Russia dry by forcing them to spend all of their resources on this war while hitting them with sanctions.

Except that isn’t happening, and now the war could last for years. Decades. Maybe forever, and it’ll be like the Korean War with a demilitarized zone but no peace agreement.

How many Ukrainians are you willing to sacrifice to defeat Russia?

I hear Putin eats small children and doesn’t believe in washing his hands!

I love making things up. It’s so fun!

If they want to surrender, they can. Sending them guns and ammo doesn’t stop them from doing that.

1. Peace negotiations aren’t “surrender”
2. If they try to move towards peace they risk losing America’s support, which would turn peace negotiations into a surrender
3. I prefer peace negotiations over war. That’s all. It’s not about what Russia “gets” to do, it’s about saving lives.

Oh I’d probably be dead or worse.

That doesn’t make endless war a good thing.

It’s not irrelevant - he was illegally removed from power, meaning it was literally a coup. Then, after he was removed, the people against the coup government refused to participate in the elections. Democracy collapsed after Euromaidan

Okay you bloodthirsty maniac, and what happens when they retaliate with nuclear weapons?

queermunist, 10 months ago

I don’t expect Ukraine to really have a lot of faith in any negotiation in which they don’t hold an extremely strong hand.

They already have a strong hand because of international support, but international support could end if Ukraine tries to negotiate peace without demanding total surrender. It’s a Catch-22 that Ukraine has been forced into by the West, because they are not allowed to negotiate for peace. They are only allowed to “win”, and that isn’t going to happen either.

So the war will never end. Either it ends up like the Korean War or the War on Terror - endless war forever.

queermunist, 10 months ago

If that were true, do you think America and its allies could resist total war? They’d just bomb the whole country to ashes.

“By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”

There’s a gulf of difference between standing up to America (or Russia) vs going to war with them. Duh?

queermunist, 10 months ago

This is his politics. He believes his political enemies deserve to be hit by cars, and the justice system agrees.

queermunist, 10 months ago

His two accomplices testified in his defense so I guess he gets to walk.

Cool country.
