> They pay taxes and contribute to the Russian economy. However indirectly, they are funding the war effort against Ukraine.
So, considering the all the wars, regime change and bombardment that the US engaged in, every American company deserves to get hacked? And considering America is far more democratic than Russia, American citizens should be held more responsible for the actions of their government?
> I think invading another country and killing thousands of their citizens is disgusting. Where is your outrage over that?
The parent already said:
> I should note -- and it annoys me I have to say this because it means the substance of my opinion here is only valid by how "woke" my view on the war is, and not other merits my opinion may or may not have -- I don't support Vladimir Putin's war in Ukraine. I do not supporting the Russian military's killing of Ukrainian civilians and targeting non-military infrastructure
But I guess it doesn't meet your standards for the necessary intensity of outrage.

And considering America is far more democratic than Russia, American citizens should be held more responsible for the actions of their government? Is the US engaged in an UN-unsanctioned invasion of Ukraine at the moment? Yes, the US might have engaged in similar behaviour in the past. That was wrong, and I don't disagree. Yes, we American citizens should be held more responsible for the atrocities our government has committed. NONE of that justifies the Russian invasion of Ukraine. > The parent already said: And yet, they never called the invasion of Ukraine disgusting. Nor the bombing of civilian targets. Nor the forced relocation of thousands of refugees into Russia. Nor the 'double-tap' artillery strikes. So damned straight it doesn't meet my standards for intensity of outrage. My outrage is that this war has claimed the lives of multiple family members of mine, on both sides. Don't you fucking DARE tell me what level of outrage is acceptable.
- unmole 5y ago> NONE of that justifies the Russian invasion of Ukraine. If you think anyone on this thread is justifying Russia, you really need to improve your reading comprehension. > Don't you fucking DARE tell me what level of outrage is acceptable. Who is policing your outrage level? You're the one cribbing about other people not expressing enough outrage! Your personal losses don't give you the right to straw man and misrepresent other people's arguments.
