Welcome back thread. You’re not wrong about that QCS thread. It goes places. I’m not sure how much longer spaces that look at the war in a nuanced skeptical way are going to last on any English language platform, that’s hardly SA specific. There’s a certain dogged moral certainty that has overtaken pretty much everyone. It’s almost been remarkable to watch it develop in real time I really don’t think it helps at all that most of the higher profile voices in opposition to US involvement have been MAGA types The CPC letter and the push to deplatform BJG are other examples. It’s wild out there

Azathoth posted:I'm old enough to remember the Iraq War runup and so much of what is happening in the media feels just like that. At least in online spaces this feels more absolute than the run-up to Iraq. Things got heated for sure but there wasn’t the overwhelming consensus, and there was a lot of vocal opposition even if it turned out to be utterly for naught Raskolnikov38 posted:i do think the vitriol of the pro-ukrainian side is largely confined to social media. no one in DC* seems to talk or care about the war at all anymore You’re probably right but idk really know because I made a very conscious decision to avoid the topic in all spaces outside of posting a long time ago. Just doesn’t seem like anything anyone wants to discuss and honestly I’m not looking to burn bridges with friends and family to drop contrarian takes

30.5 Days posted:The big thing about it was like, how obvious it was that iraq didn't have WMDs and you'd have people suggesting completely insane ways they could have them. I remember there was a rush limbaugh thing that got really popular in dallas where I lived where people would say saddam had the nukes strapped to donkeys and was moving them around in the desert with a broom tied to their tail to cover their tracks. I think Limbaugh meant it as like a joke about how much iraq sucked or whatever, but two separate people repeated it to me very seriously as an explanation of how they probably had nukes. Lol the mobile biolabs that moved around Iraq’s extensive rail network

Lostconfused posted:Not sure if that's going to work. There's a certain assumption that the far east Russians are a lot more nationalist and it's those metropolitan libs in moscow and peter that are selling out to the west for treats. It’s pretty easy to find dissidents in expat communities. By nature they’re people who are willing to pull up and go somewhere else. While that’s sometimes entirely economic there’s often secondary motivations too

Honestly I don’t even know how you fix moderation, it’s just human nature. We’re very good at justifying our gut reactions. If I had buttons I’m sure I’d use them on the rare poster I dislike and justify it all to myself in a way that when challenged is not be willing to back down. Honestly I’d never take the job for that reason alone (although I highly doubt I’m in consideration anyway lmao), I know I’d be bad, but I think everyone will at least sometimes be bad. Idk what you do. And any probe or ban or perma will have its defenders for the same reason as above. And except in rare cases like xtal who just alienate everyone even the most justifiable mod actions will have detractors. Glad it’s not my job to figure it out

Frosted Flake posted:Soviets buried the history of Baba Yar...? This confused me too but after googling around a bit to figure out what he was on about it looks like some people got mad that the soviets kept the memorial secular and didn’t specifically dedicate monuments to Jewish victims

Pener Kropoopkin posted:They just blasted Kevin McCarthy to Hell and now the US congress has no speaker of the House. Not sure what that means for the aid deal. My guess is that McCarthy or a similar GOP power broker cuts a deal with the dems to get the speakership back, and that deal is almost certainly going to be more Ukraine aid

Lmfao but also even bigger lmfao because without Schumer voting no for procedural reasons wouldn’t it be 50-50 and Kamala gets to come break the tie? Or am I missing some arcane rule where this is the dems actually failing and not just comically failing by loving up

Gripweed posted:I feel like they wanted to call that line Rea Life Heroes but that was already taken. Because all action figures are real life action figures. They are representations of fictional characters, but the figures themselves are undeniably in real life. Look at this dork believing in the concept of material reality
