Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Kę? I honestly thought you were a different person. Why else would you ask again what you personally could do more, if we allteady established that you do a lot, and - in your hart of harts - belive that you do all you can?

Individual you we covered, why did you brought it you again? You said that that most of [collective] you all thay can to change it. I said it can't be true becouse if it was it would allteady be changed. So why did you start dogging up about yourself again?

Honestlu, it took an opposite effect becouse your casual dismissal of things as not helpful and random revel that you don't realy look for ways to do more. And whatever you do its not enought, so it seems that one would be desperate to do something. Especially if the price is inconvenience.

What exactly is not ralated? Putting the economical presure on actors the have more leverage than you? Making sure that people who could be targeted for being opostion have the network of support? Procetctong most vonurable? Making your system stronger buttom-up so its harder to abuse? You seriously don't see link between civil responsibility and unnacontable leader? Is everything you know about democracy is how to make a movie about it? It make me retroactively question my appologies.

You are right, its time to move on. Watch one of your 6 subscriton services. People who are being mobilized against your army will find solace that you truly belive that most of you did all they can to stop it. You deserved it. There is nothing else you can do.

The ones I said I don't even have in the first place?

Cool. Thanks for reading the very short comment so thoroughly.

Enjoy your day.

Well, 55 million of you do. But you are right, I'm so sorry iI didnt put all my undivided attention to your strugle under this post about your country invading allies. What did we learn here? What's our take away? All (majority? Most?) of you do absolutly all (except maybe feel that you dont feel like that would work - the random ones), and you have no remarks about what you or your fellow Americans could do better. No room for improvements. no notes...

I understand why trump didn't get the pece price. Tu much competition.

Honestly? I'll probably have a remorse soon. You are, unironically, victims here as well. I hope that people with better position to be a real.opposition make a systemic changes and I hope that will do it before next election or before trump dies out of old.age. But also fuck you for dodging the shread of both individual and colective responsibility for any of this. This is... sad.

Yep, thats me, not doing anything and just dodging it all.

Such keen insight.
