  • What’s the public mood? It’s a big country and everyone is affected differently. Those who joined army in '22 are drained because there is no end date to their service. Those who found themselves a job that has protection from mobilisation can live more or less normal live, except for sleepless nights due to shahed bombings. Those who are falling into mobilisation group are highly nervous and generally try to avoid going out of home unless needed.

    Exhaustion is high, but what’s an alternative? I don’t see the will to accept surrender.

    Understandable. Thank you for your insight into the matter.

    All my hopes are for an eventual Ukrainian victory leading to a lasting and just peace.

    Actual fact: Americans don’t learn about John Brown because John Brown’s existence highlights a lot of ugly truths about American history, the American people at the time, and how corrupted the core of the American experiment really is.

    John Brown is a very well known figure in the US, and widely taught about.




  • Idk, banning any slight USA “criticism” (if that’s even what that was) feels like unnecessary shrinking the community, but modding is work too & someone has got to do it … then again vibe banning feels like a wrong way forward.

    It wasn’t about “USA criticism”, but the idea that South Korea is an American ‘colony’ is not only bizarre but a common tankie canard - one which you repeated in several comments in that thread.

    Generally I don’t think ppl should be banned solely on pov (without being uncivil or something actually bad). No warning or a chance to reply. Just ban.

    POV is often something actually bad. I’m not here to make the comms I moderate a safe space for campists and fascists or their talking points. If you want to talk bullshit about ‘occupied Korea’, that’s what the tankie triad is for.

    This isn’t a metaphorical Nazi bar, and I’m not about to let it become one no matter how politely it’s phrased.
