    OK, got it. So, according to you and the rules of the community, Ukraine is supposed to defend itself with strongly worded letters to the editor. Maybe my ancestors who fought for Greek freedom and independence were violent extremists. Even got my comment removed by mod for saying as much. How lovely. The door. Of course.

    I hope one day you will realize the double standard that you’re applying to the Palestinian struggle for freedom and how this double standard was part of the things that enable their Genocide. Hopefully by then, there will still be Palestinians in Palestine.

    The door.

      No, Ukraine can do whatever they need to do to throw off an illegal invasion and genocidal statements and actions.

      YOU are not Ukraine, and if you’re going to participate here, you will abide by the rules of the community which explicitly do not advocate violence.

        These are contradictory statements, it makes no sense. When you say that “Ukraine can do whatever they need to do [in the face of] an illegal invasion and genocidal statements and actions” YOU are also saying that they can use deadly force. YOU are advocating violence on behalf of Ukraine. But if we flip the bit from Ukraine to Palestine suddenly it breaks the TOS?

          I am not, Ukraine is outside this place, what happens outside this place does not need to conform to our rules.

          If you’re going to participate, you will abide by the rules.

          Palestine can also do what they want, they aren’t subject to the rules here. The people here will abide by our rules.

          I’ll make it super simple:

          (Lemmy.World Rules (World.Lemmy.World Rules)) . . . (The entire rest of the world, including Palestine, Israel, Russia, Ukraine… everyone)

          If you’re here, you agree to our ruleset. If you’re not here, our rules don’t apply to you.

              Absolutely correct. No wishing death on ANYONE.

              The hardest one was when Henry Kissinger died, because, well, Henry Kissinger. LOL. Lots of reminders of “No celebrating death”, but I mean, it WAS Kissinger.
