Huge thanks to the urban hell subreddit for guiding me to communism by failing to convince me cheap apartments for everyone is actually worse than racist ass suburbs and mass homelessness

New conspiracy theory: Fascism was created by pawn brokers so they'd have more memorabilia to sell

0 casualties, like usual, but we're going to need another Raytheon contract for crematorium supplies ASAP. Unrelated.

That magnanimous openness, where all the research is done by mininally compensated international students under constant threat of deportation.

Shocking that they'd go home to work in a lavishly funded lab where that's not the case.

Tbh I think the vast majority of people that use these sites are just there to mindlessly scroll. I do imagine a lot of their reactions to the protests was to be pissed at the weird basement dwellers disrupting their porn/aww/etc feeds

More than anything, the fact that Reddit absolutely quadruple-downed on steering people to their garbage app at the same time probably drove a lot of that crowd away.

I'm sorry but this is definitely shit you only say when you're very far from the action. Would you want your grandpa drafted and sent into a minefield to "dissuade the aggressor"? Grandma and the children too apparently, better dead than governed by another neighboring authoritarian shithole?

I think I'd rather just flee with my family to a country right next door that has a nuclear deterrent and NATO membership. Literally why would "they need to all fight to the death instead" be your first thought? I can't imagine it coming from a position where you think Ukrainians are as human as you are.

I have to imagine direct intervention would've happened already if it was going to. Why let the Ukrainians get shoved into a meat grinder first? If you're America: it's good business and sells more guns. If you're actually reliant on the buffer zone then it's really not a game, as you say.
