Please refrain from Ad Hominem attacks.

Strawman.

No one said this, ever!

I can tell you don’t read that much!

You didn’t read the link you posted (typical). It says 24% don’t prefer to continue fighting until victory and most prefer a negotiated settlement.

You do not.

Progressive is an adjective in this context. Your characterization is misleading and incorrect.

OP clearly supports Putin’s Russia as a perceived bullwark against NATO.

I didn’t catch your apology for the ad hominem. Kindly reply herewith

As you acknowledge, it quite clearly states Putin’s Russia plays a “progressive role.”

I’d like you to apologize to me for calling me “drunk.” It was ad hominem and has no place in discourse.

Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia bombed children’s hospitals and bankrolled Trump Jr’s wedding. If you and I are against imperialism, we should be against all of these things.

Could we please not resort to ad hominem attacks and insults, “Nonconfrontational”? This isn’t Reddit.

Logically, I don’t follow where that was specifically asked, but here’s a comment calling Putin’s Russia progressive: https://lemmy.ml/comment/27815508

Criticism of the US prison system is warranted but we must ensure that it is accurate, no?

It’s strange to me that you think I’m flexing. Aren’t we essentially arguing the same thing: that all humans have the right to live in decency?

Probation is distinct from parole in the US legal system. Shall I provide you with a source to clarify the difference?

Criticism of the USSR, Stalin, and Putin is deleted in ml instances. My deletion history proves it.

The representation was inaccurate, as 80% of the 1996 US figure quoted were on probation, not incarcerated.

It’s not lazy ragebaiting to verify facts, is it?

And since you’re such an expert, which Lemmy user in particular, was insulted? Why is the mere assertion that one works on behalf of an intelligence service considered an insult by a disinterested observer?

So we’re in agreement that one should not be banned for expressing a negative opinion of the USSR?

Fuck yeah #feelthebern

I’ve been banned for stating North Korea is an authoritarian shithole. Is that bullshit, in your opinion?

The only insult is your support of Putin and Stalin.

That was not the comment I was banned for, and you know it.

80% of that figure weren’t imprisoned, they were on probation! Clearly misinformation when you look at the facts… that upsets Stalinists.

Have a sense of humor!

He said he would like to see one case of this happening… a comment would demonstrate that

I would show you, but mods deleted all my comments! Just criticize Putin, Stalin or Kim Jogn Un in the socialism.ml or memes.ml instance and you’ll instantly have -10 downvotes and probably a ban

TIL!

Lemmy users in socialism.ml actually define Putin as progressive (I wish I was joking)

EDIT: look at them all brigading me below. PUTIN SUCKS and North Korea is an authoritarian shithole!
