I shared a Facebook post which basically said "higher gas prices suck but at least we're in not in a warzone" and got these replies:quote:u have been trained to accept thru guilt For bonus irony points, replies 1, 2, and 4 are from a Jewish woman and #3 is from a dude who emigrated to the US from Belgium. The brain worms, man. shame on an IGA posted:lol that carriage contract is 90% of OANN's revenue, Get owned, OANN.  I just discovered they're also on Roku and hope they gently caress off from there, too. Fragrag posted:To lighten the mood, here is some cheerful footage from the frontlines I hope they do those jigs while annihilating some tanks and helos.

shame on an IGA posted:It really is incredible how common the "stop throwing away your lives in a doomed battle" take is in a subforum that jerks off about the defense of Stalingrad as much as that one does Yeah I'd like to see a link to that too. I thought most of the tankie poo poo got driven out of there after not too long and it's lately been more of a "russians have the option to make the place into Syria on short notice but simply have chosen not to so far, and the war-hype trying to drive this anywhere but a negotiated settlement asap is sick (which includes rooting for Russian humiliation) because the end result of this fight could include the complete massacre of whole cities of people or even global thermonuclear war, and being all in agreement that Putin = bad guy who initiated the war does nothing to change that relationship. Also because of that look at all this dumb marketing poo poo that people and institutions are doing to get kudos which in no way materially impacts the Ukranians (Like the Simpsons pro-Ukrainian salute ad)" vibe

SlowBloke posted:I would love to hear that the tos1 crew left since they were aware of the damage to civilians their vehicle would be likely to do but i guess terrain and fuel to be the culprit. That weapons system is just as dangerous to the operators and nearby friendly troops as to the enemy. It has an absurdly short range when used with thermobaric rockets. Mounting it on a tank chassis improves mobility and, by extension, survivability. Ideally, they deploy in a mixed company with their own supporting MBTs while keeping other units at a distance. It's a very odd thing for a TOS to be alone. Who knows why. If it were me, I'd abandon the thing as soon as it became bogged down or broke. You can always come back and unfuck the situation, but the longer you stick around a juicy target like that the more likely someone hits it with a golden bb and everyone within 500m dies before they know what happened. Also, rasputitsa mid swallows all. The more vehicles present, the more get stuck.

Cugel the Clever posted:I've only looked into the thread a few times, but the gang tag has been a topic of petty consternation each time. Lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth at the "NATO-pilled donors to Nazis". I mean, the snake island guys did say that, but they didn't get killed by the russians. It's just one of the examples of martyr narrative running out of control dangerously.

The fact that people in c-spam are genuinely hoping for the fall of Kyiv (a name which they refuse to use the Ukrainian transliteration for  ) so they can own their posting enemies' gang tags is loving vile and I don't understand why JeffPOS thinks that forum is alright to keep around.

The fall of kiev or even the complete levelling of it remains a likely/very highly possible tragic outcome and "rah-rah you can beat them" rhetoric is sick in that context. Yelling at people because they aren't supporting the slave in the lion vs slave gladiator competition kinda misses the point of the criticism.

It's incredibly loving bizarre that the GBS 2.0 grade successor to LF somehow runs this website. At least the new absentee owner doesn't get strung out and beat women
