Well, as a Ukrainian, I also hope so, but unironically.
Because if my hometown will get conquered by “hostile force” people will finally be able to leave, and I will be able to visit it and leave it afterwards.

Nah probably not, but he’ll be stopped at Kursk just like the last time :)

protecting Ukraine

So, turning Ukraine into a mass prison that people are desperatly trying to escape, where people are kidnapped on the streets and sent to die on the frontlines? Can they somehow opt-out of this protection? Yeah, didn’t think so, obviously you know what’s better for other people.

No rational person could think he intends to do anything but hand over Ukraine to Russia.

Obviously it wouldn’t happen, just the current front lines would become the new borders.

But even your bogeyman “hand over Ukraine to Russia” is still orders of magnitudes better for Ukrainians than the current situation.

Start of the war between Russia and Ukraine.

Now I have to worry every day that people I know (who have not managed to escape Ukraine) will either get killed by a Russian rocket or will get kidnapped from the streets by Ukrainian “recruitment officers”.

Why is Telegram “insane”?

Left-wingers identify nearly everyone who doesn’t agree with them or doesn’t share their delusions as “right-wing extremists”.

I don’t see why US election deserve more credit on global communities than French. German or Belgian ones.

Because French, German and Belgium elections don’t affect the rest of the world (or “global community” if you prefer) nearly as much as the USA ones?

I didn’t even slightly care about American politics, until they started a proxy war in my country and now whether hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of people live or die (probably) depends on the elections in USA…

Being drafted (which is forced labour where you additionally have a high chance of being killed or wounded) is always not okay, not just when it is done to invade another country.

The existence of this post (and its title in particular) might give you a clue…

Well, this is a fair criticism… of Bitcoin :)

It’s supposed to be decentralized, but things like mining pools have lead to heavy amounts of centralization in block production. If we look at Bitcoin, for an example, we see that over 51% of block production is controlled by just two mining pools. That’s not limited to just Proof of Work mining either. Proof of stake sees centralization in staking pools as well. That’s only just looking at one aspect of the network

Centralization of mining pools (and mining in general) is indeed a serious problem. In Monero we now have p2pool which is totally decentralized. For now it’s just shy of having 10% of total hash power, so there is a long road ahead, but we are moving there. ASIC resistant RandomX also helps to ensure mining decentralization.

It has also not really been seen as a currency. People’s view of it as an “investment” which have the opposite qualities you really want to see. People are encouraged to hold it and never let go, meaning they won’t want to spend it which is adverse to its use as a currency. This has also lead to it being incorporated and dominated by the very financial systems it was initially supposed to move away from

I don’t think this applies to Monero, which is more or less the only currency used in DNMs.

What makes you think that “crypto has failed on it’s goals”?

I haven’t seen Kamala saying anything about ending the war tho or having a plan for that…

Omg, it’s really impossible to argue with you :/

In a dozen messages we’ve exchanged, you provided exactly 0 evidence of what you’re trying to prove, exactly 0 quotes of me that prove any of your points and exactly 0 valid arguments.
It’s impossible to continue this discussion :(

The statement immediately above was evidence.

You’re confusing your opinion with evidence. Sorry to tell you, but it doesn’t work that way.

No. The opposite is true, obviously.

Oh really? So you have empathy towards hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians that died in the war, and also wish for war to end as soon as possible, and therefore support Trump who is the only politician who promised to end the war? Well, in that case what are we even arguing about :)

You are requesting evidence of a negative

I am requesting evidence of your arguments. If you argue something that you can’t prove, then your argument is by definition invalid.

Well, considering you cannot provide any evidence/proofs to anything you’re saying, I guess there is nothing more to talk with you about :(

That’s a shame

The consistent behavior of conservatives world-wide is evidence that conservatives are incapable of experiencing empathy for those outside of their in-group.

You didn’t provide any proof for that :)

And actually, why do you even consider me a conservative? Is it only conservatives who have a compassion for human life? :/

Your suggestion that your capacity for empathy is somehow different than all other conservatives is bizarre and itself requires evidence to be taken at face value.

You are the one suggesting that somehow I lack empathy, so burden of proof is on you ;)

Holy shit, you wrote such long comment, and it still doesn’t prove a single manipulation/deceptio n/lie from me XD

This is not a true statement on its face.

Let me give you a tip, since you seem to struggle argumenting: if you want to prove it - the easiest way is to provide a counter-example ;)

Most replies to your “innocent inquiries” provide evidence of your deception as you reply with moved goal-posts.

Well, again - provide a single example of that :)

This claim is an absurd falsehood that is evident to every rational human who reads your comment history.

And again, a fallacy without an actual argument.

Well go on, prove it, expose my lies to every one :)
