because your deeply buried post on a week old thread didn't get any replies

You're not very good at making assumptions since that's not it. I've only replied asking for evidence to active threads, and I've repeatedly gotten responses "attempting" to provide proof. It's just shit tier proof every single time.

Oh okay. It's because the military rules the country. That's why it's okay to not have democracy anymore.

The military would probably freely give back control if Russia would fuck off back to where they belong. Either way, how exactly do you propose they run the election so that the parts actively being contested by Russia get to vote AND guarantee that Russia, who isn't even known for election integrity at home, won't meddle in a foreign election that might get them a submissive leader elected? I'd love to see them have routine elections, and maybe I just haven't thought it all the way through, but I don't see how this turns into anything other than either A. An opportunity for Russia to stuff the ballot boxes and force victory by submissive leadership, or B. Disenfranchisement of eastern Ukrainians to protect ballot integrity. I don't like either option, and I'm guessing you're extra not fond of option B. Probably pretty keen to let Russia stuff those ballots, though.

And in order to keep the country Ukrainian we need to prevent the people who live there from having any say in what "Ukraine" is.

Almost. To keep it Ukrainian, they need to make sure the active invader with a bad reputation for election integrity doesn't get a chance to violate the integrity of their election. Since you care so much about their democratic rights, I would think you'd want to be extra sure there wasn't interference.

Are you so fucking stupid that you're bringing up your deliberate bad faith as a POSITIVE???

Okay, let me rephrase this on the off chance you're misunderstanding me. I'm not asking for a super high bar to be cleared. The bar is a tripping hazard in hell, and here you are still trying to limbo dance with the devil. All I want is some evidence that doesn't show me a tiny fraction and try to make me assume I can extrapolate it to a nation. You know, actual fucking evidence, not a pile of blurry photos with a grand total of 50 people in them, nor a map where none of the fucking points are in Ukraine. I want to see evidence that there are more than 50 Nazis in Ukraine. 50 may still be a lot of Nazis, but it's not enough to cause the systemic problems people in here like to claim. I am willing to entertain anything you may consider evidence so long as it actually shows a systemic issue. You can decide how to prove that however you want so long as you actually show a systemic issue, not just a handful of raging assholes with a camera and a flag. A few pictures of small groups of Nazis in Ukraine only proves that they are unfortunately not extinct, not that they are the widespread issue you claim they are.

Meanwhile, as I try repeatedly to engage in the topic in good faith, despite your claims to the contrary, you do nothing but belittle and insult me. Rather than turning me to your side, it only further convinces me not only that you are utterly without proof, but that you know the claims you are making cannot be backed by proof. You insult me not because it's genuinely deserved, but because you're desperately trying to steer the topic away from the fact that we both know you're 100% full of shit, at least on the topic of Ukrainian Nazis being the systemic, pervasive issue you claim.

but because you’re desperately trying to steer the topic away

Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert.

In other words, you can't really refute a single word I said, so you're going to imply I'm lying and bounce. This is by far the most vitriol I've ever faced for openly being willing to consider fresh evidence and change my perspective, and you've made it quite clear you're not arguing in bad faith. I assume you make the accusation against me purely to muddy the waters and make it seems like a simple "no u!" when you're inevitably called for it.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm not implying you're lying. I'm saying that you have a shameless sneering indifference to good faith arguing to the point that you could accuse me of avoiding the topic for not engaging with your tangent. You argue like a nazi, which I have commented on repeatedly now, which only makes sense because you are a nazi who defends nazis.

You're spending an awful lot of time and effort to talk shit about how I'm allegedly not engaging in good faith, but if these Nazis were rampant enough to be doing everything you're pinning on them, because recall that you said these things were being done by a Nazi regime, it should be pretty fucking trivial to muster literally anything to support your claims and shut me up. Just one piece of actual genuine evidence that there's a Nazi regime in Ukraine, and you'd shut the whole thing down. Instead, you'd rather invest all this time to belittle me and pretend I'm not openly presenting an opportunity to change my mind. The best evidence I've seen so far is maybe all of 50 dudes around flags in half a dozen photos at most. Given that asking for evidence of Nazis is more likely to see me verbally abused than to see me actually being shown that there are Nazis in Ukraine, I can only assume that some people are very interested in lying about Nazis in Ukraine. Otherwise, if there were genuinely a massive Nazi problem in Ukraine, surely its opponents would be more open to spreading word of the problem.

This is one sentence. You are exhausting.

[–] AHemlocksLie@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Let me put it more on your level, then.

You spend much time talk shit. Could spend half minute, find proof, shut me up good. If many Nazis doing Nazi things, should be easy.

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Why would I reward a child for their bad behavior by giving them what they want?

I have given you countless opportunities and reminders of how and why you're being a piece of shit.

If you want to be treated better act better.

Go ahead and gargle my balls and never reply again. Someone actually showed up, delivered a bunch of sources, and I learned the problem was worse than I thought it was. Still nowhere near as bad as Russia and many in here want me to believe, but worse than I thought when I came in here. I'd say speaking with you was a complete and utter waste of my time, but since the other guy actually provided the info, I'll settle for telling you to shut the fuck up, gargle my balls, and please never defile my inbox with your inane replies again.

Members of Azov and similar groups have had high-ranking positions in Ukrainian ministries, particularly after Russia invaded. Azov itself was incorporaetd into the Ukrainian armed forces so actually all the liberals at the top are doing neo-Nazi apologia now. Previously Azov was an independent neo-Nazi outfit along with groups like Right Sector (who also have various positions in ministries). Such groups carried out ethnic cleansing campaigns in Donbas, including shelling civilian centers for years. A blatant example is Vadym Troyan, previously deputy minister of internal affairs. Jesus Christ, go learn something before you talk about it here.

Liberals think Ukraine was invented in 2022.

I bet this person would readily agree that the southern US states are run by neo-confederates because of all the statues. But when it comes to having a national holiday for regional director of the holocaust it's 'lalalala'
