lilac sparrow
Whenever we try to pass some sort of decision that is universally good, one side says “we republicans/democrats won’t sign this until you agree to sign this” with that thing being something that the other side would be against. This tactic works but then when the other side refused to sign it with those additional conditions, the news then gets involved and spouts what is essentially “republicans/democrats refused to sign a bill that would ban the kicking of babies”
Like we tried to close getmo back in the Obama presidency, but because he said that he’d do it during his campaign speeches, the republicans more than likely put big conditions on that to pressure the president to either go back on his word, challenging his next election or to ratify some decision that really helps the republicans

They literally did not say the word "why"...
Yeah, and even though they didn't, the answer given still says why.
And "emotional appeal" no sh•t, do you expect it to be pure logic? What normal citizen would be like "I consider them the enemy as they are an obstacle to the political and economic aspirations of my country"
It is going to be something more personal.
buoyant sundial
Bombing someone's house is plenty logical.
Wait that sounds wrong
Hating someone because they bombed your house is perfectly logical
Is what I meant
fast cradle
I mean, yeah, but it is largely emotional, is what I meant. Not pure logic.
buoyant sundial
It's not even emotional really.
fast cradle
I mean, it is anger and sadness at your loss and the people that caused it.
buoyant sundial
I don't have an emotional attachment to my own house really. But if it got destroyed intentionally by someone I'd be pretty mad. Because all my stuff is there. Those people consciously chose to ruin my life.
fast cradle
Like, I don't get how they expected an emotionless reason for why they dislike Russia.
fast cradle

I see that we disagree on what constitutes emotional. Given, you just talked about something very emotional. Losing your things and feeling anger at the intentional and conscious attack upon it.
Which I would group under an emotional reason.
buoyant sundial
I'm talking about, logically. What I own, contributes to my well being. Within my home is shelter, food, money, clothing... everything that is considered a need. All that getting destroyed by someone's intent, would change my life for the worse.
And if I'd been in it at the time? I could die.
fast cradle
Yes, but you have emotional feelings concerning that.
buoyant sundial
...
fast cradle
You aren't purely looking at it and just thinking about the economy
Logic and emotion can both exist at once.
That is what I am trying to say.
buoyant sundial
You aren't purely looking at it and *just* thinking about the economy
Not about the economy at large, no. I'm thinking about the fact that all my finances are gone and I am now homeless, and concerned about the future.
fast cradle
If you are completely emotionless about it, then you are an exception to normal people.
Usually people would be upset at losing finances. But I guess not everyone would be.
buoyant sundial
I'm not saying I'm emotionless. I'm saying that there's plenty of logic for someone to consider the person who destroyed their home and livelihood "the enemy"
fast cradle
And I am not disagreeing
I am trying to say there is logic, but there is also emotion
And you keep saying I am wrong about you feeling anything about it.
Which is confusing me.
buoyant sundial
Emotions are irrelevant when I consider who my enemies are. They cloud judgement, and I think it is best to look at someone objectively before... being as judgemental as I tend to be.
fast cradle
As I am referencing how the Twitter user up there was upset at there being any emotional component to their reasoning. Which I was pointing out as stupid.
As in this kind of subject, people would inherently have emotions attached to their reasoning. In fact, considering someone an enemy period requires emotion.
buoyant sundial
Not really.
fast cradle
So the idea of seeing a nation as an enemy, but having 0 emotions about it, is contradictory.
fast cradle
Not really.
Seeing them as an enemy is an emotion
buoyant sundial
I don't have entire nations as personal enemies obviously. If I did... that'd be pretty bad.
But I do have personal enemies.
fast cradle
But yeah, again, I feel we have very different definitions on "having an emotional reason", as you don't really seem to be disagreeing with what I am actually saying
buoyant sundial
But I do have personal enemies.
And the logic behind them being my enemies, doesn't factor in emotions. It is because of their disregard for others, their selfish greed. Or their stealthy manipulation of others and their two sides, a public facing that follows the rules, and their true nature that takes what they want at the detriment of others.
fast cradle
And you feel emotions concerning their disregard and their greed. The response you feel towards their mistreatment of others is an emotion
buoyant sundial
Granted, the latter had some emotional involvement. And in retrospect I am not sure that I was correct in my judgement of them. Which proves my point, that emotions can cloud judgement.

buoyant sundial
My point was that, someone destroying your house is not exclusively emotionally damaging you. There's a lot more than that.
fast cradle
And I never said it lacked logic
I was just saying it had emotion
It very much does have a solid logic to it.

So it wasn't an argument

Ukraine can go to an Israel model all it wants, Russia will be sending ballistic missiles to a “Ukrainian separatist group” and watch as they launch missiles at the capital instead

But, it’ll atleast be an improvement to what they got so far, but I think a peace where Russia pulls out of ukraine will be easier than Ukraine joining nato or as israel situation. Russia wil still have claims on the land, so NATO cannot add them because one of their clauses
It’d be interesting to see Ukraine troops in places like Syria and Africa

The thing is, he is actively working against Ukraine, and thus is actively assisting Russia, and is this actively supporting a genocide.

yes agreed

He is actively working against Ukraine by providing a sabotage resistance service that works anywhere in their territory, which was not available there before the beginning of the invasion and is not available in Russia, for them free of charge as the US and various European governments are the ones paying for it, which is now the backbone of their entire communications network and has been since the beginning of the invasion, acknowledged by Ukrainian officials as being a massive upgrade over the radio infrastructure they had, because he shut the service down temporarily in a specific location once they were using it for controlling attack drones?
This is absurd. We could agree spaceX should be doing more, but if anything that company has done more for Ukraine than any other foreign civilian company

fair
but I'm saying that when talking about humanitarian stuff, that is still killing people
even though Russia is very much the aggressor and the one committing war crimes I do think we should not lose sight of the fact that the Russian soldiers being killed are also human lives being lost
and that loss of life is just as much a tragedy as when Ukrainian lives are lost
war hurts everyone

thats true, we can't stoop to Russian level of ignoring human lives

Just like how the pandemic made everyone a Medical expert -_-
but I saw on Facebook that Mango cures covid :O

More of an expert than those hack doctors who went to the RIGGED medical schools spread myths about things like "germs" and "viruses", wake up sheeple, it's just bad smells! Smelly things make you sick, if not smelly, no sick!

Karen on Facebook knows more than the doctors. She tells me that vaccines are actually babies! What do you mean sources? Sources and evidence and experimentation and peer review are just propaganda!

My goodness it is all so annoying how stupid people can be. Like, they just say all evidence is fake and is just propaganda. Thus leaving them to only rely on randos online.
Who have no qualifications or any understanding of what they are talking about on any level.

Putin still has not learned what a mirror is after his 300 years of life.

If it implies that Puting will be overthrown and executed by a revolutionary government I'm not against such a return to the good old days

I think the implication is thay they are frighteningly close to actual nazi propaganda.
Like it's the same exact phrasing now
