The video I linked for reference

I guess I was “sympathizing with invaders” because I said “Such an absolute waste of life, just for the vanity of one man.”

Just patently ridiculous moderation…

    Let’s see how ‘empathetic’ you are when bombs destroy your home and kill your friends and family. It isn’t even ‘showing empathy’. It’s feigning moral superiority while showing no empathy for the actual victims.

        (he said while sipping his latte in his warm office at his powered computer completely unafraid of airplane noises outside).

        Nobody ‘wants’ more death. Some of us, however, are smart enough to understand that it is the price required to repel evil.

          Of course it’s the cost to repeal evil, you don’t stop Nazis with nice words. It’s a shame that Ukraine has to fight for its right to exist. The cost of defense should ideally have less of Ukraian lives than Russian. Especially since Russia started the mess they can’t win.

          I live next to an air force base, I hear them all the time. They are loud as shit and wake me every day. Let’s not pretend you’re also on the front lines either, no one on Lemmy is.

                    No, my stance is showing sympathy for Russian soldiers to profess your moral superiority, in a Ukrainian community, fails to show empathy for the Ukrainians who might take offense to that. Understand?
