I've already modded this guy into the sims. Hope he enjoys swimming in a pool without a ladder.

To be clear, this also applies to the irish, the fr*nch (and any of their colonial offshoots) and the british who are the most vile of all

tag yourself, I'm freak/nerd

People where I'm from (Montréal) are mostly sympathetic with Ukrainian refugees and willing to spend some effort helping them integrate and make ends meet. I've been asked to donate a couple times.

I haven't heard any hard opinions about the conflict beyond the default Putin bad/hope Ukraine wins stuff and also a lot of comments about how messed up improvised drone warfare is.

All in all the reaction is very similar to when shit goes down in Haiti or Africa for example. Bad shit from far away that people can't really do anything about, and since we don't really see ourselves as participants in geopolitics most people just don't care all that much.

I don't mind it, I'm really hard

tu quoque fallacy

Do it with people you trust, are comfortable around, and if possible who have done it themselves before

I was mostly trying to point out that you're not as well informed as you think you are. Landlords being "evil" isn't something I'm interested in demonstrating because there's nothing materialist about that analysis. It's just cathartic maoposting.

I can spend some time explaining why rent-seeking is unethical and a net loss for society. When I get back home and if I'm not too drunk.

I don't think you make a bad point, but it takes years to develop a leftist, collectivist, anti-imperialist world view. Vulgarizing leftist theory to anyone who will listen is a colossal waste of time when 95% of you are not interested in interacting in good faith to begin with. As much as loaded political slogans, easy gotchas and plain old derision suck from a debate-fan point of view, they are too useful to ignore. Even more importantly, you are doing the exact same thing when you talk about "kremlin propaganda" like there's ever any substance or truth behind that accusation.

Reminds me of a big argument I had with a friend of mine a while ago because some book in his college management class were teaching him that women are more prone to internal conflict and interpersonal drama, and should therefore be managed differently. That was in like 2015.

Linus Sebastian was always a half-competent corporate shill. Now it also turns out he's a greedy asshole
