It’s seriously insane how hard people are working to misinterpret you, there’s no way people other than op are approaching this in good faith. You made it clear you’re not a tankie, these people just can’t stand the idea that their beliefs require proof or that there are people who aren’t swayed by rhetoric alone (edit I def thought this was a tankie comment at first, that’s how it sounded at first but you’ve made it abundantly clear that’s not what it is)

“You’re trying to prove a negative, they should just realize that” “they should just” is a pointless take to have on anything. people will never “just”, they need convincing, and different people are convinced by different things. It’s a tough subject to research, you’ve got one side claiming they’re all nazis that deserve to be conquered and another that thinks they’re all saints and can do no wrong, and I don’t blame people at all for wanting evidence that the very real nazi groups in Ukraine aren’t representative of everyone there, or even the whole military

L*bs em rightfully called out Russian involvement in 2016, but will now die on the hill that trump is totally honest here, that he won fair and square and there shouldn’t even be an investigation. Why are they (and you) so desperate to protect trump from scrutiny into his third blatant attempt to steal the election?

I’ve been banned from liberal communities for sharing info about election fraud, and told by the liberals there that it’s clearly not true. Only other leftists I’ve met have agreed that trump cheated. It’s very, very much not a blue thing, because l*bs want to defend the status quo and protect trump from the legal consequences of his actions. You’re just not paying attention if you think liberals are the ones saying this (or if you genuinely think that elon doesn’t “know the machines” and that him buying votes or trump winning all the swing states with really fishy metrics isn’t at all incriminating)

Feels a lot to me like “Well imagine if you were gay in Gaza”. Whether or not there’s a lot of shitty elements to their culture, imperialist aggression is evil and civilians don’t deserve to be killed and have their homes and children stolen, and the side you support should be perfectly clear from that alone (I say all this knowing I’m probably more likely to be hate crimed for being gay in Ukraine than Gaza, because again, a country having a lot of nazis doesn’t excuse invasion and ethnic cleaning)

That’s probably true of most things people think/say about the IDF at this point. Even my massively zionist “most moral military” aunt is calling it a genocide and is starting to oppose them

That’s what I wrote, you’re just repeating yourself xp

Huh??? It’s blues staunchly denying anything is fishy about the election, lefties are the only ones calling out the obvious cheating

Liberals are now so caught up in respectability politics that they’ll downvote you for calling Trump a fascist. The same people who (rightfully) screamed about collusion the first time around. Absolutely wild and horrifying how far the Overton window has shifted in such a short amount of time

If you just deny it hard enough, all the evidence and incriminating statements just fade away and you can pretend the nazis are just respectable, honest political opponents who haven’t straight up admitted to tampering with voting machines :)

I’m cool with fighting for some things liberals also fight for, especially those kinda of voting reforms, bc along with ensuring conservatives lose every election, i bet it’d force liberals to actually appeal to the left to not risk losing to real progressives. Sadly they’ll prob stop supporting that the moment it actually threatens to change the status quo at all

“as opposed to picking the non-fascist” Liberals are fascists. They have done nothing at all to oppose trump. When they stop siding with fascists over progressives literally every single time, maybe you’ll have something remotely resembling a point

When there’s 9 people at a table and a fascist sits, etc etc

THERE ARE MORE THAN TWO PEOPLE TO VOTE FOR

QUIT EXCUSING YOUR UNCONDITIONAL SUPPORT FOR LIBERALS

Just say you love killing gazans and getting fascists into office, there’s no other explanation for thinking democrats are even remotely decent

Tell yourself that all you want buddy. I wish I hadn’t voted for her, it was stupid voting for someone who clearly gives no shits about fighting fascism or preventing genocide, and I won’t be voting for blue presidents ever again bc they’re only going to get further and further right

Wow til W made gitmo, I was too young to remember so I assumed it’d been a thing for decades

The people denying this are the same ones who screamed collusion the first time around, and this is infinitely more clear and obvious. Why are you so desperate to assert that trump won fair and square as it becomes clearer and clearer that isn’t the case?

I’m just glad some of y’all are starting to realize, I remember getting banned from multiple communities for stating the obvious cx

It is, hence the downvotes. Liberals look at what we did to North Korea and Vietnam during the war and think “we should’ve gone harder bc they’re evil communists”. Also apparently they just don’t give a shit about trying not to start another world war

I used to think drag was just a troll account making fun of neopronouns, but I don’t think that’s accurate anymore. Dragon Rider used to go by Dragon Fucker and uses “drag” as drag’s only pronoun, and like I used to, a bunch of people thought drag was just a troll. But if it’s a bit then there’s nothing to the bit other than a weird pronoun, drag just seems like a decent person from what I’ve seen. Drag also made a very genuine looking post about drag’s struggles with mockery and disrespect, mainly from .world users and admins, and drag’s struggle to avoid self harm over it. I think Dragon Rider is a cool person and people (including me) should give drag the benefit of the doubt, or at least avoid drag and don’t be an asshole if you don’t like drag.

I think drag also once told someone who was feeling suicidal about the state of the world that they should fight rather than killing themself, and a bunch of people took it in cartoonishly bad faith and now say drag told someone to kill themself. Bc nothing screams “kys” quite like “don’t kys, you can do some good”

“hey look this person has a modlog, look how much less toxic I am than them!” will you please just stop? Are you capable of not following me around and trying to highlight how shitty I’ve been in the past? Are you at all capable of just shutting the fuck up and letting people be instead of desperately trying to dunk on them for no reason?

BTW if you unironically think that original art inspired by previous works is actually comparable to a computer scraping and slapping random bullshit together, you don’t know jack shit about art or the “AI” you so desperately need

Hey if you can’t actually make a solid argument for why “AI” is actually fine, there’s always calling the other person insane :D your use of an LLM isn’t any better or less cringe just bc you don’t use chat gpt, you’re still outsourcing your thinking and decision making to a computer, and you still use a fuck of a lot more power than you should on something that is ultimately stupid and pointless. Your life was fine before “AI”, why are you acting like this is some good or helpful or necessary thing at all?
