Also this simply wont work for me; establishing a credible threat of violence is integral to me attaining my relatively high position in the social hierarchy.

A big drop in terrorism and major organized crime stuff in the US after '90 was because the Soviets stopped assisting it. The correlation with abortion always struck me as obviously classist and probably racist too.

Imma need some sources for that crazed “soviets caused terrorism and crime in America” angle

jfc the anti-russian propaganda is off the charts

anyway, it was leaded fuel

There's no anti-Russian propaganda here, just news about Russia.

yeah and the news is that every couple of generations the Russians have to clear the nazis out of Europe, and for this Europe will never forgive them

You're the only one spouting propaganda, and it's pro-Russian propaganda straight from the Kremlin. You still spout that "there were Nazis" in Ukrane to justify this savagery. Putin is looking scared. The people are angry about this war and it's almost October.

I'm not saying "there were nazis" I'm saying that the military of Ukraine is explicitly a nazi force from top to bottom, and the only people that are denying this are brain-poisoned American liberals. If you think people are angry about the war now just wait until half of Europe is told that they have to freeze through the winter to punish Putin for ??? reasons.

The correlation between poverty/inequality and crime is well established. Pointing out the negative effects of poverty isn't classist, it's an argument for eliminating poverty.

Though "let's make the poors not reproduce to stop crime" is a classist position, forcing poor people to have kids they don't want has worse outcomes for poor people.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy isn't the one coming off like a Bond villain, threatening in a not-subtle-at-all-way to bury humanity under radiation poisoning and ash, preparing to send 300,000 conscripts to their potential deaths, making deals with Best Leader, and jailing anti-war protestors, all because a very badly planned invasion has gone bad.

Zelenskyy has called for the assassination of Ukrainian government workers who cooperated with occupying forces to provide services to Ukrainian civilians that didn’t/couldn’t escape the fighting. That’s just one example of multitudes of really totalitarian shit Ukrainian has been doing since the coup and which has escalated since the invasion.

But those war crimes are sanctioned by NATO so no one will ever be held accountable for them, same as all the other NATO nation war crimes since its founding.

Zelensky banned every political party to his left and made it illegal to be a part of a labor union. Accepting food or medical aid from Russians has been declared collaboration with the enemy, which is punishable by execution on the spot. Russia has 8k Ukrainian POWs but can't trade them for Russian POWs because Ukraine kills them all.

If you support Ukraine you all are supporting fascists, full stop. They tell you as much. The only people in denial of this are American liberals.

LOL, ever hear of the Épuration légale? Yeah, the French were just so kind and nice to the Vichy traitors after the war, lol. You describe these people as just being force to cooperate, but you also leave out how many out right Russian separatist traitors are in those regions. You know, the very people who Putin claims to be protecting with this invasion.

oh yeah I've seen a lot about these "Russian separatist traitors"; they seem to be mostly young women that end up taped to light posts with their faces painted green and their pants pulled down (indicating that even worse happened to them), just because they are native Russian speakers unlucky enough to be trapped inside a fascist puppet state of America

the irony of mentioning the French Vichy government in this context makes me think you're just joking anyway, you got too self-aware lol
