I’ve been saying this forever. Do we really want the fascists and fanatics to be the only ones with guns? Who do you think they have their AR-15 arsenals aimed at?

Exactly.

Yes I've seen that before thanks. Did you even read your own link? In it, and a link it provides to a US govt. factsheet, is the admission that the US govt is funding and supporting 46 biolabs in Ukraine. The claim they are debunking is that the biolabs are ran by the US military, and/or are owned by the US govt.

Putting words in people's mouths, making up ideas they supposedly have in their heads, strawmen, ad hominems.... seems to be a pattern amongst a certain demographic around here.

kokorodoko wrote: Fri Nov 08, 2024 12:29 pm Also, please donate, if you can.

Wow. Help the army.... so you're really just a warmonger then. Your position on all this makes so much more sense now you've posted that link.

You could have posted any number of other links there.

unrefugees
UNICEF
Red Cross
Help Ukraine Center
Warchild
United Help Ukraine
Ukraine Helpers

That's just a handful of organisations trying to help the people.

But you chose that. Because it's not like the US, UK and others are sending billions in aid and weapons already, is it?

Maybe you should look at one of the other bits on that site and put your money where your mouth is:

Enlist in Ukraine’s International Legion
·If your citizenship is other than Ukrainian, but you are standing with Ukraine against the Russian invasion, if you want actively participate in fighting for European freedom and democracy, if you have combat experience, sign up for Ukraine’s international legion.

And the final cherry on the cake -

U24.gov.ua was launched on 5 May by President Zelenskyy

This donated money is being administered by a guy named in the Pandora Papers? What could possibly go wrong?

There used to be a "Punching a Nazi" thread on here. Maybe it should be resurrected.

The most powerful effect of being crushed by your material circumstances is a lack of mental/financial resources to adequately engage with the world you live in...

Do you think I survive in a hermetically-sealed, pristine bubble, you fucking dummy?

It's only an unfair judgement if you're someone else who never does a lick of necessary work, and is terrified of any heat or blame landing right across your useless shoulders.

Fuck off.

He’s on the money. It’s a bit clumsy but he’s right that if you put a better economic foundation under everyone sexual and gender minorities actually benefit the most. Sure, individual feelings on the matter might not be being addressed directly but the problems you have are being addressed both materially and emotionally. There’s also externalities that if society isn’t a Hunger Games fight for scarce resources then the space for othering minorities closes. Just look at data of post war unionised white workers, they were less bigoted than their non union counterparts. During an era when bigotry was the norm.

Like Bernie’s postmortem, which was attacked for pointing out material conditions as the primary issue, and DNC goblin screams “why are ignoring the Gays you monster”. He wasn’t ignoring anyone, he was including everyone.

well, yeah. If I find you in my house, you're going to have a bad time, how is this even a talking point? I don't own a lethal gun, but my dog and stragically placed blunt force trauma will be bad.
