Dude - you came in here quoting a random YouTuber saying that woke is a leftist ideology ‘created by algorithms’ and you’re complaining that other people are being too simplistic? C’mon.

No, that’s not your observation, it’s something you’ve been spoonfed by the right wing media.

You posted something that deliberately aims to insult anyone who considers themselves woke to any degree. You don’t get to say ‘gotcha’ if you think someone is upset by it because you’re not an elementary school child.

Stop lying. You’ve made it abundantly clear time and time again that you only want peace once Russia has got everything it wants.

They’ve now cancelled almost all 9th of May parades and celebrations. Ostensibly for security concerns (admitting they can’t keep their skies safe from Ukrainian drones) but probably because they don’t wants crowds of people turning up with with mementos of relatives who died in Ukraine, drawing attention to their staggering losses.

What does that sentence even mean? The whole rest of your post is arguing for healthcare to be outsourced, so you want healthcare to be provided by Walmart. Not sure why you won’t own that. Why have you just said two polar opposite things as if they’re both true?

And now the situation is so bad for Russia you can’t even write your own propaganda, you just copy and paste someone else’s. in a football game the second string doesn’t usually take over because the first string are all dead. Kind of a big difference there.

Of course you do. If private justice comes from Walmart then private medicine comes from Walmart too. Does government healthcare necessitate being assigned a doctor?

Health care very often involves death (either failing to prevent it or actively causing it) as well as making huge life decisions for people not in a position to make them. But you trust that to Walmart. The government also provides rules on how healthcare systems have to work, just like they provide rules on how all kinds of other things have to work, then trust Walmart to deliver it. So why can’t Walmart provide a justice system under the rules laid out by the government? Then as I’m sure you are aware, the government should be in the business of providing healthcare.

No matter how often Slim confidently predicted Russian victory in Bakhmut, a retreat will most certainly also be an example of their superior tactics. When Russia advances 100 metres it’s a smart play, when they fall back 100 kilometres it’s an even smarter play.

Soon all the people who are triggered by Bud will have cancelled it from so many bars they’ll have plenty of safe spaces to go and drink in. And these are all things that the MAGA movement thinks are great!

Why is having a justice system something the government must provide directly? You appear to think the private sector can do everything else, why not this? You say this like it’s a logical fact when it is nothing but your own opinion.

Including Israel?

Eh? Tying phone use into anything else is just lazy and incorrect stereotyping along the lines of people who don’t think a single millennial knows how to hold down a job. The younger generation (most likely to have their noses buried in TikTok) now has a stronger social conscience than at any time in the past. Awareness of racial injustice among people who aren’t minorities has skyrocketed in recent years. The US has only just instituted its real attempt at universal healthcare. But you think that now you’re losing a sense of the greater good because young people aren’t paying attention? Absurd.

I suppose it depends on if we’re talking about the most fundamental job/s of any nation, vs the most fundamental job/s of a nation we want to live in. Which I kinda thought was implied, but maybe not.

Umm, too poor or just don't? If an American was deported from another country the US government wouldn't give them free housing or send them to prison just because of that. Hell, it's one of the only things the US government won't send you to prison for.

Have you never heard of people being threatened or killed in retaliation for calling the cops? This guy is clearly a psycho and without the benefit of 20/20 hindsight there’s no telling what could have set him off. Wake the fuck up and stop being so naive.

WTF? Somehow I’d imagine if he’d called 911 and the psycho had later come round and shot him in revenge you’d be saying the same thing the other way around. “In NO way defending his actions but what happened to just talking to your neighbours instead of escalating a single noise complaint to the cops and aggravating everyone? See how easily that was avoided?”

Give over, son. You still haven’t even agreed that Ukraine’s summer counterattack was a success. Russia takes 10 months to capture part of Bakhmut and you think it’s proof of the inevitability of Russian success, Ukraine takes back swathes of territory, several towns and a regional capital and you claim it’s just smart tactics from Russia, everything proceeding as intended. So how about if Ukraine’s spring offensive takes back another few hundred square miles of territory and several more towns, you agree that you’ve been lied to by Putin and his cronies?

It was never the worst show around but I think it took an objectively bad and damaging approach to relationships and conflict resolution. Though it’s more the guests I wonder about. I can’t imagine getting an invitation to appear on Jerry Springer, not being told what it’s about, and thinking it’s a good idea. Like, “well, I suppose if I’m going to be blindsided and humiliated it’d be great if it happened in front of ten million people!”

Then how do you THINK you’re providing accurate casualty updates day by day?

It's an incredibly US-centric mindset to view this as particularly unusual. It may not be comprehensive but this is Wikipedia's list of European school shootings. A few in Germany and Finland unfortunately, but one in the UK in the '90s. One Islamic terror attack in France this century. One University attack in Denmark in the '90s. Spain? Italy? Austria? Switzerland? Nope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:School_shootings_in_Europe And interestingly Wikipedia does list one attack that it (questionably) classes as a school shooting in Israel this century, and it was carried out at a military academy. Yes, you heard that right, a military academy full of armed soldiers. The other problem with the armed guard 'solution' is you're mostly just going to push the attacks elsewhere. I don't think that most school shooters particularly hate kids or teachers, they just want to make an impact. So if schools are harder they'll go to churches, and synagoges, and banks, and nightclubs, and Walmarts, and music festivals, and etc. etc. And ok great, a bunch of adults getting killed is maybe better than a bunch of children getting killed, but it's hardly the ideal to be aiming for.

Is it a liberal site? How can you tell? I honestly have no idea what counts as left and right among nationalist Pakistani newspapers. Plus the article doesn’t actually say what you just claimed it did, but that honestly doesn’t even seem worth discussing at this point.

Yes we all get it - you’re very happy that Russia has enough ammunition to keep the war going and you’d be very sad if they needed to stop fighting.

completely true. I've asked you over and over and over again whether you'd support with Russia leaving Ukraine right now with no strings attached about the biolabs or anything else in the name of peace, and you refuse to answer. Because you'd rather see an endless war than a settlement where Russia doesn't get what they want. To be honest, I think you'd rather see an endless war anyway. It's disturbing how much you revel in the bloodshed.
