Good point on the need to keep delivering, that can be a challenge. However, if your opponent/target is a clown like trump you have a near infinite source to keep your motor running. So the validity of the argument hinges on who you face off with.

And rape, do not forget the russian basterds consider rape a normal thing to do in countries you occupy:

“Understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometres through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle”
“We lecture our soldiers too much; let them have their initiative.” – Stalin

Expect nothing but brutal barbarian filth from the russians, it is what they are used to and are told is OK to do. It is a despicable state filled with horrible people. Yes, this is generalizing but in this case it is warranted.

Never let is be asked: That Ukraine gave up it’s ultimate deterrent, nuclear weapons, in favor of having the guarantee of russia they will not bother Ukraine, that russia stole Crimea and Ukraine nor the west did not go full blown war over it.

You are an idiot making excuses for the war mongers in russia. They rolled into a country without provocation but under the umbrella of broken promises and already stolen Ukraine land.

The top brass at Boeing probably won’t be getting a lot of leisure time until then

Why do you say this? What gives you the idea that they will face some form of workload pressure because of this?
The only people not getting leisure time will be the persons responsible fixing this. The consequences for the top brass will be Golden Parachuting to the next job, losing stock or face devaluation of said stock.

If you honestly think top brass is actually fixing this or face some form of heavy workload then you’d be wrong.

PS: This is not a manifesto on the inequalities of the current system 😊
It’s based on 40+ years of working where I have never seen top brass taking any form of responsibility or workload. They ‘connect’, ‘network’ and god knows what. All fair play if hired for that but please, do not confuse top management and actual work on products or being involved in fixing products. Also, never seen them ‘empower’ or ‘facilitate’ so others can work more efficiently or something like that.

Ok, small personal manifesto after all 😇

Just give me the tools, as a user, to block instances. Not just the way it is done recently but truly block an instance and all it’s posts and users. I want to be able to black hole an entire instance and all things related to it.

If this is true then I indeed misunderstood v0.19

All I want is to be able to block an instance completely as a user. How hard can this be? I really had my hopes up for v0.19. This needs to be built into Lemmy asap because the idiocy of some instances is getting on my nerves hardcore. I mean, why not go back to reddit if I have to take shit anyway? At least I know the communities are larger over there and if I need to suffer bullshit then by all means, I’ll suffer over there. This is not good for Lemmy tbh…

You really do not give 1 shit about children do you? You keep telling people that this is what you get if you start a war. Did the children start that war? No. Then why keep bombing them?

Even if Hitler himself hides under a hospital or school, you do not bomb that place. It really is that simple. The fact that you are a-ok with bombing children speaks volumes about your character.

Surprise me with insights on why you think it is ok to bomb children and please do not involve hamas, terrorists or some form of anti-antisemitism. Keep focused on bombs on the heads of 5 year old, babies and justify that without involving adults that these children have zero control over.

Agreed. Hexbear and lemmygrad idiots are pretending to be all for peace and yet support the war mongers in russia.

These instances are a magnet for dishonesty and propaganda. Plus they have a 4chan attitude towards discussions, i.e. they keep shifting goalposts if you press them and throw absurd statements at you while doing so. There is nothing redeeming of those places.

If there was ever any proof needed of a mental deficiency with a hexbear user, you just gave it. Well done!

Great, the hexbear loonies escaped the asylum again

Great, the hexbear loonies escaped the asylum again

Well, there it is, proof of the absurdity of the hexbear instance users. Took only a couple of minutes.

There is no context here, you are manufactoring one in your head, just like op did.

And the cherry on the absurdity cake? Calling me ageist. Desperately trying to stick a hate label on me, absurd.
Like I said, discussing with hexbear users is impossible and prone to land you in a world of temper tantrums.

So we go from some form of convoluted and manufactured narrative to you pulling in world history because…?

And why are hexbear users always so aggressive and use arguments like a five year old would, i.e. grab any and anything to try and deflect?

Calling yourself ‘tankies’ is my basis to call you childish btw.

That instance hexbear is an absurd place and a poster child equivalence for trolls.

Is there any chance you can discuss something without throwing temper tantrums?

So you are a fish now? You are confusing and seem prone to self inflicted embarrassment.

The only narrative I see is you trying desperately to create one.

Like I said, voting for or wanting a separation does not guarantee you get what you desire.

It’s up to a country to determine how and if secession is possible. If the people of the complete country disagree with this separation the it will not happen and should not happen. Are the rest of a country any less of a factor? It is their country after all.

Discussing other situations specifically is tricky here. The formation of the US for example is incredibly difficult. Where did it start? The French, British or the colonist who formed the current country?

In the case we are discussing we have to deal with country as-is, the Ukraine as a whole. If secession is wanted then this region has to follow the rules and possibilities of Ukraine. iI’m not privy to these tbh.

What is not acceptable is invading that country and start killing people. Masquerading an election as valid while invading that country is not an option to consider as fair or legitimate.

Without specifying a group or situation, they rules and procedures for seceding should be followed. If the process fails to deliver your wanted outcome then you have to abide to the rulings.

What is not ok is for a foreign body to interfere. Certainly not by invading said country and killing, torturing and whatnot. If secession is successful then that autonomous new country can join whatever other country at their hearts desire. But again, that other country is not to step in and force secession.

Now what if the plight is of such nature it is not sustainable? The last resort you have is revolution or civil war. Again, not the call of a foreign body to step in and start killing people.

Invading and starting a war which costs the live of innocent people is not the answer.
