This is exactly what I thought of when I read it. Although moneyed interests always have ways of influencing politics, a decision like this will help the bosses more than the unions.

It’s already killed one child, just for context.

I write questions on bathroom stalls and then check back in on them every few days.

Buying tortillas is getting kind of expensive, but making tortillas seems like such a damn pain uuugh

Russia was not justified in its invasion, but let’s not pretend the goal is just to steal land. They need a buffer state from NATO or it’s only a matter of time until they get the Libya treatment. This is to protect Russians, unfortunately Ukrainians got used as pawns to threaten them when their government was overthrown by a Western coup i.e. imperialism.

DARVO shit would be blaming Ukraine, which is what Trump does.

I’m blaming the imperial power that provoked the war in the first place and then stopped negotiations from taking place and never gave Ukraine enough aid to actually win outright. The plan was always to hurt Russia, not help Ukraine. They’re the victims in all this.

The US has a lot of responsibility for the war going on this long. All presidents are criminals.

The only reason Trump has this opportunity to screw over Ukraine is because Biden kept the war going. The previous administration pressured Ukraine to keep the war going instead of entering negotiations over territory back when Russia was in a much worse position than it is now.

The reason? At the time it appeared that the war was an opportunity to weaken Russia and let them to waste blood and treasure on an unwinnable quagmire.

Years later all they accomplished was killing more Ukrainians and Russia is stronger than ever. Biden got Ukraine here, even if Trump is the one to finish them off.

The point is it isn’t really worse. Yet, anyway. He’s only been president for a few weeks so obviously it can get worse.

But right now, Trump is about as bad as every other president. Bad in different ways, of course, but they all belong in prison.

Except the content of his post also blames the left, which is kind of fucking stupid when the government is undergoing a billionaire coup of the PayPal boys.

To be honest the quality of posts, comments, and moderation policies had gone way down hill since at least 2020.

Wasn’t that when they banned /r/chapotraphouse? 🤔

I’m pretty sure the purpose of Trump’s pivot on Russia is to drive a wedge between Russia and China.

Do you think I’m not aware of the reason conscription exists? Ukraine would not be able to fight this war without it, I fully acknowledge that. My argument is, if a country needs conscription to keep fighting, it’s time to stop fighting. If that means Russia takes territory, then that’s what the Ukrainian people have chosen. Their self determination matters too.

Pretty sure the fat meal will just become diarrhea.

You might not have said you support conscription but you’re arguing pretty hard for it. How about you clear things up! Are you pro-conscription?

The obvious solution is to not conscript people to die in a war they don’t support.

If you want people to be conscripted so much, you should be snatched off the streets and forced to fight and die for them.

They don’t want to die and are being marched to their deaths? They’re conscripts.

If people want to abandon the country, fucking let them.

I’m pretty sure we don’t actually know the number of deaths, but also, I’m not trying to argue that they actually do die at a rate of 50% and you’re making a mountain out of a mole hill. My point is that the survival of conscripts doesn’t matter and so the question becomes “whose survival matters?” Like I said, I can’t say for sure that they mostly die. But they sure as fuck die.

Conscripts don’t die at the same rate as volunteers. There’s testimony of commanders demanding bribes from soldiers to not be sent to the front.

Conscripts die in droves. I guess I can’t say, for sure, that they mostly die, but their survival sure doesn’t seem to matter.
