Also works for them saying bomb them.
fuck those dirty Russians Ukraine should bomb all the cities
So you want them to hit civilians?
no I meant only places without people but still they need to retaliate
Then why say bomb the cities?
stop twisting my words when I want they're the evil bad ones
It's incredibly interesting how, according to western media, all the ukrainian attacks on russian infrastructure never cause any deaths but russian attacks always cause deaths every time.
Usually they just say there are no civilians in Russia and Ukraine killing ANY Russian is completely justified. Not the other way around though.
Also parallels their thoughts on Israel vs Palestine. Israel can kill any Palestinian and be "self defense" but when it comes to Israelis suddenly they care about the civilian distinction.

They don't even go that far to distinguish the difference from my experience. Just go I didn't mean that but I'm just gonna blame you for reading the words I used
Later: "Noooo, I never said that Ukraine should murder civilians!"
how dare you put words in my mouth dirty mler. I totally meant they should ignore civilians when saying it was the only thing Russia would understand
Amazing the overlap with the ones saying usa just needs more dems in congress to fix everything
One of my favorite kind of lemmitors on the fediverse is the "how dare you read the things I wrote" kind, where they start backpedaling only after getting massive backlash and then expect people to automatically believe their "clarifications" are sincere.
Even better when it's also about something they do that with AND have no idea what they are talking about, cough that banjo guy and minimum wage|ACA being Romneycare|anything political
Who's out here saying Ukraine should bomb "all the cities"? Most people from the first frame of OP would also be saying stop the bombing, not bomb more. E.g. stop the bombing of Palestine etc.
To echo divas post where the user could not comprehend how them saying Ukraine should bomb Russian cities because it's the only way Russians will understand was frowned upon.

Then what asked to clarify said stop putting words in my mouth
here's one I ran into just last week, someone claiming to have been unfairly modded on .ml, when they had received a temp ban because they were actually advocating for collective punishment of russian civilians "because it's the only thing that Russia will understand":
Which side made a post stamp out of blowing up a family car with kids onboard >_>
Stop knocking over their straw man! They worked so hard to prop it up.
