It’s you that is whatabouting. We could (Read:should) have defended them without robbing their land.

Further to that; it doesn’t excuse the fact that we have never returned the land to them. Bit of a process appreciated, but it would have made the incredibly difficult and moronic brexit process a bit easier.

Name a nation that hasn't expanded or died out.

It’s countries doing genocide that bothers me.

I'm sorry, but I have literally no idea what you're talking about. Who's robbing what land? Are we talking about Ukraine or Ireland?

Because I'm here talking about Ukraine and the UK.

Ukraine, Ireland, Palestine…

This might surprise you, but that didn't help clearing up anything. If you have an argument to make, make an argument. That way I can either agree with you or retort.

No, I don't consider listing countries or regions an argument. Denmark, Belgium, French Polynesia. Now you might wonder where I'm going with that, but I'm not going to tell you. I'll just expect you to read my mind. That's communication, you see.

I know. I was being a cock. I thought you’d mentioned Ireland, fuck knows how. My comments are null, void, and pointless.

No worries, I wouldn't dream of holding it against you; if anything, you have my respect for owning up to making a simple mistake, which happens to everybody sooner or later - me very much included. Kudos!

Ive commented elsewhere in the past that the Fediverse is a much more pleasant place, and I’d like to maintain that. Thank you for being pleasant back. Have a great weekend.

You too, buddy. Maybe some day we'll have a chance to drink an excellent Irish stout (which is obviously 'all of them', though my personal preference is Murphy's) together. That'd be lovely, and not just because of the stout.
