Lol Roblox??? And every damn gatcha game out there.

Think of the children bullshit line…vices exist, and adults make adult choices… because they’re adults. Prohibition has never caused black markets ever…

“think of the children”…cause that’s never been the dumbest fucking reason to do something…

Ahhahahaha

Lol ok tankie

Lol you’re world view is with CCP glasses. Yet I and others in this thread don’t defend western imperialism…yet I’m indoctrinated lol sure thing kid.

Lol, you have drank the fuck out of some CCP koolaid. You tankies really should just leave, you can enjoy your love for the CCP up close.

It’s not from an approved propaganda source. The tankie won’t read it. They’re just maga for Communism… everything to them is fake news if it doesn’t feed into their views.

Taiwan is a sovereign nation you tankie shit. Move to russia or NK or china since you love it so much. The west doesn’t need more division from tankies, we got enough to deal with right now.

Tailored to US imperialism? The fuck? This is a GTFO of Ukraine. It’s a wishlist that the turnip won’t touch and neither will russia. How in the fuck you came to the conclusion that this is US imperialism is just mind boggling.

Where are you getting wings that cheap? They’re usually like $3-4 a lb in the south and bacon is usually $6+ a lb…only if you grab it in bulk does bacon go down to like $3.50ish and you’re buying the rejection stuff that doesn’t look pretty but still tastes fine.

Bacon also, it used to be cheap as fuck. Same with chicken wings. Two of the cheapest parts of the animal, now magically nearly the most expensive.

He won’t respond because he can’t get the mods to ban and delete anyones replies to him.

Way to ignore everything I have posted.

Australia since 1996 has more firearms than before the ban and buy back. Yet has less mass shootings.

So you make that work. More firearms in civ hands than ever, yet less shootings.

Is it the number of guns or some other factor?

Not even close. What I read is that your system failed to stop two terrorists from committing a mass shooting, even though you have some of the strongest gun control in the world.

What that tells me is that guns aren’t the issue, the issue is society as a whole. We allowed a genocide of the Palestinian people and now there are people who are using it as a means to retaliate.

Violence is going to happen with or without guns. Mass carnage isn’t something new since guns were invented. Humans are violent. The only things we can do to reduce that violence is work on society. The more educated a person is the less likely they’re to commit violence. The less a person is in poverty, less likely to commit violence. Just these two things branch into, a lot more solutions to our violence issue than “ban guns”.

That’s not what I pointed out at all. I pointed out that the ban didn’t do anything. They have more guns now than they did pre ban.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_in_Australia_by_population

You’re largest city being Sydney compared to one of our cities like Chicago is nearly twice the population size and is in a smaller footprint. So sure most of your population lives in the cities, so does the USA, but you’re still way more spread out, and like I said before you actually have safety nets.

You already had low gun crime before the ban anyways. You’re trying to compare apples to oranges here.

It really doesn’t though, Australia had/has a much smaller and more spread out population, plus they have more guns in civ hands now than they did before the ban.

Australia also has a ton of safety nets for the population while the USA keeps removing them forcing people into poverty, and unfortunately poverty comes desperation, which a lot of the time falls into crime.

You’re straight up using russian propaganda. You literally are saying Ukraine shouldn’t be fighting against russia and give up because it’s drafting citizens. Guess what happens when a country is fighting for its survival. Shit gets rocky.

On top of all that. You haven’t called out once that russia has been doing even worse shit to get soldiers…tell me again how much propaganda I’m a victim of.

Go read more russia today and believe it.

Ukraine army isn’t only in need of weapons and money they need bodies too, go there enlist and they will give you a mansion according to what you can do.

Again please go join the russian army you keep simping for.

I live in europe not in russia and personally i’ve never heard of any russian organization operating here, it’s most likely that a western organization/government would pay me to work for them which is something i wouldn’t do even for a million dollars (no government is up to any good, right now they are spreading war propaganda and boosting military spendings)

You seem to be doing a great job eating and regurgitating ruzzian propaganda…

If there’s anything i would like to convince you to understand is that rulers don’t give a shit about people. The government will refuse to cede any land, even if this will cost the life of a million people.

That’s the dumbest fucking take ever. You’re suggesting that Ukraine cede land and it’ll magically make the ruzzians stop killing them. You do realize putin and ruzzia wants Ukraine to no longer exist right? They want to cleanse them from the planet.

Your help is needed to fight against the evil enemy, pack your bags and hurry to the front lines.

Move to russia you troll

You call me a mouth piece for russian propaganda, i call you a disgusting human being for thinking that it’s right to draft people and force them to fight in a war

A war in which people are being killed whole sale via ruzzians who are wanting Ukraine to no longer exist. You can cry foul all you want but you’re just proving my point. You’re nothing more than a russian bot, or a naive kid who thinks the world is going to just hold hands and get along.

The reality is the US has started numerous wars on shaky grounds / manufactured consent and we at least try to reflect on their rationale and judge whether there’s any way for empire to be held accountable for war on false pretenses. In the US’ case it essentially never is.

Yea and a large portion of the USA is against those wars.

This is clearly a very Western leaning audience that is entrenched in their perspective which is totally fine. As long as it’s understood that they are also perceiving reality through propaganda disemminated by their elites.

You don’t need propaganda to know right and wrong. Israels genocide of Palestinians is wrong. Russia invading Ukraine is wrong.

I don’t support imperialism in general, regardless of where it comes from. I’m more interested in how empire justifies imperialistic behaviour and how its subjects align themselves to that behavior. This thread has been illuminating in that regard. I imagine there will be quite a few American supporters for war in Venezuela, for example.

The problem is you’re just say “but but USA bad”…and then trying to rationalize ruzzias bullshit with “but USA”…and no, only trump and his idiot friends want a Venezuelan war.

I agree with you. Nothing the USA or any other party has done justifies Russia’s war in Ukraine. But how the state justifies imperialism and how the subjects buy into and hold dearly their state’s mistruths is a fascinating sight to behold.

Which you seem to have eaten some russian propaganda.

Answer the question yourself, if you care so much about ukraine land and are afraid about russia why don’t you go on the front lines?

Because my donations are worth more than my body. Answer the question, why aren’t you being paid to be a mouth piece for russian propaganda? Or seeing how you spell… guessing you’re sitting in russia trying to convince me and others that we should abandon Ukrainians in their fight against the ruzzians.

A stupid though process is to believe that something is good only because you are not getting your hands dirty and others are doing it for you. Ukrainians should be allowed to do what the fuck they want, if case you aren’t aware people are being drafted by force and many haven’t been able to left the country for years.

Yea it’s called a war for your survival, they’re being drafted because it’s needed. Again, the majority want the war to end but the majority don’t want to ceded territory. This isn’t rocket science.

Recently men beetween 18-22 were allowed to leave the border (after two years of not being able to) and many left the country.

Ok and? People don’t like war, people don’t like dying…why don’t you ask the questions why ruzzia is attacking Ukraine and killing civs?
