heres the deal: not intervening is not the same thing as agreeing. Not wanting to throw gasoline on the fire is not the same as thinking the fire is great, or having put it in the first place.
- glogla 4y agoI like how you refer to people being able to defend from being enslaved and murdered as "throwing gasoline on the fire". If I started torturing and killing your family, would you let me do it because trying to stop is throwing gasoline on the fire? Just how inhuman can you people be?

- redeeman 4y agoand I would wish these things didnt happen. I ask you now. Are more people dying by us throwing weapons there? can ukraine win? so far the answer appears to be, yes, more people are dying, and no. Ukraine cannot win. What happens when ukraine runs out of soldiers to carry the shit we send there? will YOU take their place? just how inhuman can you be, after all? and if russia wins, how many died that wouldnt have needed to. how inhuman can we be then? or is it then fine that they died?
- bootsmann 4y agoThis is a trolley problem, the train is on the track to genocide and oppression of 40 million people with the other track being uncertain and you're standing here arguing that we should not touch the lever and that this position is somehow radically distinct from some other guy who is arguing that we shouldn't flip the lever. It might work for your conscience but if we put either of you in charge the outcome for those 40 million people is functionally the same. Distinct maybe, different no.
