I made the mistake of balking at some particularly unhinged Ukraine/Russia rhetoric offline yesterday and got called a vatnik, a tankie, a Russia lover and I was even suspected of being pro-Israel and apparently a nazbol Aimee Therese follower or something
I'm not even invested in this shit, I just find the insane saber-rattling and warmongering unsettling
When someone tells you Putler's going to invade Estonia, Poland and Finland for Lebensraum next if he's not stopped in Ukraine, just nod your head solemnly
There's nothing to be gained from it honestly, being confrontational mostly just makes people double down. There's barely anyone reachable in the US anyway.
True, but I'm also not confrontational online with people I know irl.
I really not confrontational at all. Again, it's generally not worth it regardless of the subject.
Also true
