    You are ranting and deriding, and arguing against a straw man.

    A view can have merit other than your own, and your own can have flaws more serious than you realize.

    Lives being at stake ought to make you more willing, not less willing, to engage and to refiect thoughtfully.

    Unfortunately, it has seemed you are not thoughtful.

    Your attitude is brash, your framing is inflexible, and your judgments are binary.

      Lmfao.

      You can call me whatever you want, your opinions mean less than nothing coming from pretentious dumbasses like you.

      I’m not, nor I ever was arguing with a strawman, I argued with your position on the war head on and you never gave me a single argument, simply called me stupid every step of the way. I was arguing against JT as his video contains so many falsehoods in 5 minutes, its actually pretty impressive.

      I was more than willing to engage with your arguments, you have failed to meet that bare minimum with your own.

        I am not trying to change your opinion on the events relating to the invasion.

        I was just hoping you could find a way to consider the subject without insulting and misrepresenting everyone whose views are not identical to yours.

          Anyone with a shred of empathy has their opinion on the war already set, as it’s evilness is not disputable.

          I have no insulted you once, until the last comment, even though you insulted my intelligence and pretty much called me stupid all the way through.

          As far as JT and tankies/MLs are concerned, they deserve to be insulted as their views are horrendous and they will gladly deny or even support genocide, as long as the regime doing it has red and hammer and sickle on its flag.

          I have not misrepresented your views (not arguments, you are still yet to present one), by your own words, I was at worst confused, given your own stances are incomprehensible.

            I read comments about JT, and your responses to another participant in the thread.

            In both cases you opened with insults, and misrepresentations of the views that were presented, and then proceeded along the same course.

            In every case you have seemed unable to recognize that no one has defended the invasion or felt happy about it.

              I have opened with insults, as JT is a tankie who directly with his videos supports ruzzia. I have not misrepresented JT, all of his points which I have argued against are plainly stated.

              The only reason JT is unhappy about the invasion is because ruzzia is losing. He does not care a single bit about the people in ukraine, if he did, he would not be lying about the invasion and reasons for it.

                I have not misrepresented JT

                You did.

                You keep doing it, too.

                You are just too proud to notice, too cocky to stop long enough to reflect.

                  Give me a single example of me misrepresenting his arguments.

                    Attempts were made to explain how you misrepresented the position, but you have been unable to respond except by asserting further misrepresentations and hurling additional insults.

                    You need to stop arguing and to start reflecting.
