  • I’ve been saying this since the start of the war, and any time I would point it out anywhere on reddit it was constant mass down votes.

    Let’s say this war ends with Ukraine winning; I’m willing to bet within 15 years we will have a taliban style insurrection from Azov, using the same weapons and equipment we handed them. And then Ukraine will be either in a protracted Civil War or controlled by actual, literal nazis.

    We didn’t put any strings on any of the aid we gave them, and a lot of the weapons we are giving g Ukraine are completely untrackable. We can’t know where they will end up, who will control them, or who will try to use them in the future.

    The thing is that liberals feel the need to obsess over “fairness.”

    If you really ban hate speech from a place, then it will appear to mostly be inhabited by more left leaning people. The vast majority of hate speech comes from the right.

    But at forms WANT those right WI gers to drive engagement, so they don’t enforce their TOS on open racism so long as it’s a conservative doing it. But if you’re on the left and repost it to criticize it you get dinged.

    It’s bullshit that shows how many companies are run by fascists who don’t bother hiding it anymore. But the liberals eat it up because it wouldn’t be “fair” to ban conservatives “for their conservative views.”
