well i hope for his sake he’s a bot.

well it happened two times because every post for the last 12 hrs or so that had 0 downvotes suddenly had 2 and it happened because i have a less than popular understanding of the situation in ukraine… happened a day or two back as well, but again its not of great concern where my up and downvotes rest, just good to know it can be confirmed one way or another.

i can survive the downvotes, it gives me enough peace to know its visible behavior… how embarrassing for them

appreciate it.

that means i’ve reached my biannual quota of hilarious comments-- and so soon into 2025, see you in 2027 lemmy! 👋 (me realizing biannual is twice a year… its too late)

popular german automobile? what year is it?

my guy looks a little like mona lisa with similar ambiguity of expression. no matter where you stand in the room, he thinks you’re palestinian.

author complains about having to repeat himself in his ranting over and over again, 2/10

read this if you like angry people yelling at you… tons of bold, italics, underlines, and even the occasional ALL CAPS

my favorite part: 1. Shut the fuck up!

Have you seen the prices for oats these days!?

i wrote my piece and was dismissed, you think this is a clever trick

wait til you read marx

you seem not to understand that the reason zelensky is turning down the deal is in part BECAUSE of the lack of security guarantees… can’t even keep the narrative straight in your head

go on and explain why.

lazy, trite, tired… you are the kind of person who offers nothing to any conversation. its your business for you to commit to being wrong and play to the bots and brainwashed dimwits… you’re everything you pretend to hate about your political counterparts in america.

hand over half its mineral wealth, no? “agreement to hand over half of his country’s rare earth minerals”

even mild half-lie clickbait is brain-stupifying misimplication.

from what i understand most of the resource heavy regions of ukraine are in the east/controlled by russia- that most of these minerals are not even of cost-effective value to mine and obtain…

but then, what do i know, all i see is mere cracks in the western monoculture narrative of ‘russia bad’.

zelensky wants security guarantees. seems security guarantees are in short supply-- nobody gave any thought to russia’s priority for same.

educate yourself- you’ll be hard pressed to find a more honest and reality based summarization of the russia ukraine conflict, what caused it, chas freeman is an ex US ambassador and consummate professional, i trust him more than i trust random shills on the internet, and a lot more than US news media propaganda.

real quick: how do these options develop if we keep telling ourselves that?

if two parties are both ignoring the population, maybe a third party should be considered a more serious option… this settling for lesser of two evils amounts to a lack of vision- have you have stopped believing in accountability? is it merely impossible and pointless to think about?

“I voted for Kamala to prevent my own gay daughter from being part of Trump’s genocide.”

in my opinion they’re terrible and their strategy is terrible, they are movement vampires that choke out the grassroots… they assimilate young people by speaking to issues they never seem to address. they have shown time and again they will say anything to remain in their do-nothing stop-gap positions…

‘if if if’ nevermind what is and has been happening… a party should lose support for genocide, especially when that side is ostensibly for social justice.
