  • Forcing people to fight over invisible line on a map and pushing them into a meat grinder is evil.

    I’m glad you’re opposed to the 2014 annexation of Crimea and the current invasion, very nice! Russia really should stop sending wave after wave of soldiers into the meat grinder just so they can seize more Ukrainian territory.

    They are totally ok with profiting out of people misery and misfortunes, just look how much money they are making out of the war industry these days. They simply are scum, look around yourself they do corporations interests not people.

    That is not an answer to my question.


  • Al capone did plenty of charity…

    Cool, also irrelevant.

    They are sending billions of dollars in weapons to an authoritarian and corrupted government who passed martial law and forbids any man between 18-60 to leave the country, who’s also seeking to forcibly repatriate these who fled the country and are eligible for conscription.

    They past martial law because they are fighting for their sovereignty, my guy. If the US had an invader beating down its doorstep and they had already taken California, I feel like switching to wartime government is justifiable. A draft is unfortunate, but when the alternative is to fold in the face of Russian aggression? That’s no choice at all.

    They are doing this while backing a genocide in israel, selling weapons to dictatorships such as saudi arabia and doing business with countries like china who are directly supplying russia in this war.

    See previous. Yes, the US makes a lot of bad decisions. Supplying Ukraine is not one of them.

    They don’t give a shit about you and me or common people, rulers do not fight their wars they send others to die for their slimy interests. That’s not a good thing.

    So it is categorically impossible for leaders of nations to care about the people in the nations they administer? This comes off as incredibly cynical.






  • You can see posts from every instance that your instance has federated with. For example, I, on toast.ooo, can see posts on lemmy.world, lemmy.dbzer0.com, and sh.itjust.works because my instance federates with them.

    You can’t see posts from instances that your instance has defederated with, though, nor can you see posts from instances that have defederated with yours. Think of it like cutting one of those thick undersea cables that connect the internet across continents.

    There’s a lot to consider when picking an instance; lemmy.world is a good default, so that’s probably why Voyager directed you to it, but don’t be afraid to switch to another instance of you think it’ll serve you better!
