This is just a pattern I’ve noticed, everything posted that’s relating to the Ukrainian military losing troops gets downvoted to oblivion.

We’re here for combat footage. That’s combat footage. It makes me uncomfortable because it makes me sit with the very real reality of the war we’re witnessing in a way no humans ever have.

So stop getting your fee fees hurt

    Strawman, we weren’t fixing homelessness and joblessness before the conflict. And the people shouting about stopping Ukraine funding are the least likely to care about those things anyway.

    Show me a conservative politician that put forth any kind of program to help the homeless. I’ll wait.

      Ah so what you interpret as lack of domestic plans for the monies, you see as proof positive that the money instead should be sent overseas to fight euro wars.

      Ok, well there are programs in place I could think of a million. They are in California and dozens of states. Lots of it does trickle down federally. But of course you knew that.

      There’s also a very good case to harden schools against active shooters. Mexico has done it since the 80s for fucks sake. That money could come from federal grants. There are things in motion to get this done.

      But you don’t care about any of those things. All you care about is perpetuating the myth that Russia is our biggest enemy.

      You have no clue geopolitically or fiscally. But you keep finding things and people to demonize.

        You sure put a lot of words in my mouth.

        All I said was that your argument was bullshit. Which you didn’t refute at all, instead going on a rant against things I didn’t say. Still waiting for the list of domestic social programs put forward by conservatives that would address any of the problems you’ve brought up to bolster your argument.

            You haven’t addressed anything I’ve said to you. All noise, insults, and dramatic proclamations with nothing presented to back them up. No factual arguments. No evidence for your claims.

            Why is that?
