Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

You can say this about any change, or innovation - vaccines, democracy, the Internet, psychology.
If you want to push it completely into a political only view, why should we not become an isolationist nation, which steals but never contributes back?
The post I replied to stated it was a project they could support on an article about how it was used as a weapon against Russia. I believe it's use as a weapon on Russia is why they support it. I asked them a simple question to invoke them to think, but then you chimed about all technology and even vaccines. And then talking about becoming an isolationist nation? What are you even talking about?
Asking people to think by riding the line of just asking a question is pretty lame. If you want people to think, don't bury that. The method you employ is the same disingenuous tactic to defend the other side.
What if the Russians did the same? They didn't and it's not on the table. They've already made up a war and prolonged for multiple years in an attempt to kill off and reclaim Ukraine
Nothing was disingenuous. Don't care if you think it is lame.
That's the thing. I'm not replying to you specifically. I don't think you're going to change. Chances are most people like you don't.
I'm replying to educate all of the onlookers. What this guy did sucks and here's why. And this is what you do about it.
That's disingenuous.
That is your reply....? Are you sure there is nothing better?
Yes that was my reply.
I already said I believe and stated why. Nice try. I stated previous poster. Not the creator. You are changing the who.
You were too busy arguing and trying to push your opinion to bother to understand what was going on.
I asked a question, didn't make a statement.
When did that happen?
"Just asking a question", is a form of statement.
Sure.
"are you really that dumb?" "How stupid do you have to be to XYZ?"
Just a question, eh?
That's a loaded question. You should learn the difference.
No.
Your question was not loaded at all I guess?
