You have not done any such thing

“nuh-uh!” isn’t a very convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

but I guess lying is all you’ve been doing here

“I know you are but what am I?” isn’t a very convincing argument. most people learn this when they’re 5.

how is it an “occupation” when Hawaiians themselves voted to become a state by a 94+% majority?

On June 27, 1959, a referendum asked residents of Hawaiʻi to vote on the statehood bill; 94.3% voted in favor of statehood and 5.7% opposed it. (source)

aww, look at you, with your tantrums and your insults because you have no facts to back up your claims.

and look! you even have a link that contains exactly nothing that backs up your claims. funny how you insult my reading comprehension, but if yours wasn’t so terrible, you’d see that for yourself. it’s cute how angry you are.

sleep well.

by “some” christians, I meant “certain” christians. I should have been more clear.

I guess I don’t see what you see in my words then

probably because I’m not trying to twist myself into knots to defend racism and racist symbology with a long list of logical fallacies ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

also, nice cherry-picking

there are a surprising amount of racist/racism apologists here.

also, re: your example:

nice false equivalence.

edit: also, nobody is arguing what that the no crossing sign is racist. that’s a

No, you just shoved words in my mouth and then argued with what you pretended I was saying.

that’s what you did. I used quotes…

I keep saying that Russia’s invasion is an overly aggressive and unjustified response to Western provocations

which is bullshit. Russia, alone, is responsible for its actions. It, alone, decided to illegally invade Ukraine, annex land, and commit war crimes. This mythical “The West” you keep mentioning and blaming (yet can’t specifically name or even give specific detains for deeds done) is just a flimsy pretext for your repeated defense and deflections for the clear fault that lies on Russia for it’s illegal and monstrous acts. Out of one side of your mouth you claim Russia isn’t justified, yet, out of the other come your justifications.

Your comments ar duplicitous and hypocritical, and, when challenged, you play victim, inventing things I’ve never said and then parroting the same doublespeak over and over, regardless of how many holes I poke in it as if you have amnesia.repeating this flawed argument won’t magically make it work.

circular logic is circular— and yet another logical fallacy. remember how I predicted this in that first comment?

no matter what I say, obviously what I mean is something else.

I think I did a pretty good job of using your own words to prove that, yes

[-] adroidBalloon@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Okay, the fact that Russia was provoked doesn’t mean they aren’t also at fault and it doesn’t mean the invasion was justified. All I’m saying is the West shares responsibility for using Ukraine as a proxy for its conflict with Russia.

bullshit. first of all, you can’t keep throwing around “The West” as a blame-all for everything you don’t like when specific actors do specific things and expect to have a rational discussion bout geopolitics— also, cite some evidence for these claims, please. second, you also can’t “both-sides” this and expect me to take this seriously— whomever may have had a role in Crimean unrest in 2014 sure as hell isn’t tantamount to an illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, nor do I concede that there’s shared blame in that act. it’s on a whole other level of magnitude, and Putin clearly used it as a flimsy pretext for an action he’d been planning since he took power a years before.

That’s why fault is irrelevant - both sides share responsibility and the war will only end if both sides negotiate.

and third: your attempts to deflect blame away from Russia/Putin for the illegal and brutal invasion of Ukraine is transparent, and, despite your repeated claims that it’s not justified, you obviously think it is or your wouldn’t be so vociferously defending it and Russia for doing so.

You refuse to accept that the West played any role at all!

I never said that, but by making such false claims, you make yourself and you false position appear sympathetic to the reader. it’s an old propaganda tactic.

As far as you’re concerned, Russians are orcs and we should fight this war to the last Ukrainian.

more playing the victim by making up things I never said. for someone who keeps saying that Russia wasn’t justified, you keep taking their side and painting them as victims despite their illegal invasion, history of brutality and long list of war crimes.

so, which is it?
