The fact that ukrainians are still fighting to this day shows they want to be independent.
This is a post about conscription, where people who do not want to fight are forced to

It doesn’t matter who did what before
this didn’t start on February 22, 2022, but in 2014
History starts and stops exactly when it best suits my argument
“All my takes are so perfect no one but a troll could disagree with me”
Go “do your own research” then lmao
You reject the overwhelming scientific consensus that climate change is caused by humans, then you want to pull debatelord shit about the history of climate science forecasts. Fuck off.
claims climate change isn’t caused by humans
links to article about climate change being caused by humans
I’m owned
You’re talking nonsense. Yes, living people are currently causing climate change. Those most responsible have names and addresses.
The world should have burned down to the groun… to nothingness 10 times over according to all the specialists/scientists.
This is just embarrassingly ignorant. The climate is deteriorating faster than scientists predicted, not slower.
Your answer to OP’s question is denial and a refusal to actually investigate the situation.
It’s an illusion your mind produced.
Lmao climate change isn’t an illusion, what are you talking about
Changes to climate are going to happen naturally
We’re not talking about natural climate changes, we’re talking about climate change caused by human actions.
“You can’t yet see the train you know is barreling down the tracks towards you… I think you have better things to think and worry about”
99% of the time “you’re a bot” is backed by zero evidence besides someone disagreeing with you; it’s redditor derailment bullshit
The 1% of the time there’s any evidence at all, it’s never removed
The leftist frustration with liberals comes from statements like this:
maintain stability instead of shedding blood
You cannot maintain the stability of capitalism without shedding blood. There is no option where no one gets hurt; violence is baked in to the status quo. How best to reduce the amount of violence in society is another question, but the false dichotomy of stability vs. violence is the root of the disconnect here.
I think you are vastly underestimating the horrors of most pre-revolutionary societies, and probably also overestimating what you describe as oppression in post-revoltionary governments.
On the first point, here’s an excerpt from a JFK speech where he describes pre-revolution Cuba:
The third, and perhaps most disastrous of our failures, was the decision to give stature and support to one of the most bloody and repressive dictatorships in the long history of Latin American repression. Fulgencio Batista murdered 20,000 Cubans in seven years - a greater proportion of the Cuban population than the proportion of Americans who died in both World Wars, and he turned Democratic Cuba into a complete police state - destroying every individual liberty.
And JFK was no friend of Castro; he greenlit the Bay of Pigs invasion! Revolutions are born from the most brutal forms of exploitation and violence. Not even the wildest anticommunist propaganda about post-revolution Cuba comes close to the reality of what the revolution replaced.
I align with the political right on some issues, and the left with others.
What are some examples of these issues?
shout down opposition
This is a text forum, you can post or comment as much as you like. People chiming in with similar opinions =/= “shouting down opposition.”
Then factor in the hours you have to spend at a second job because your main job doesn’t pay a living wage.
funny relatable memes
I’ll let you know when I see one!
That can be fixed with restrictions on what corporations can get away with
The problem is that capital can and does react to this. Companies will bribe and lobby until they can erode whatever meager guardrails you managed to install, and in the meantime they’ll carefully calculate how much they can break the law before the consequences outweigh the benefits.
As long as capital is the main driver of politics this will keep happening. “Take money out of politics” doesn’t work, either, because capital will erode or evade those laws, too. You do have to look at moving on from capitalism if you want anything more than a small, temporary change.
The horror!
