A petulant child gets told to return to the topic and spends multiple pages continuing to whine about how no one engages with your bad faith and declaring victory because your deeply buried post on a week old thread didn’t get any replies
Do you not understand that you’re stupid for this alone?
You mean how elections are suspended because they’re under martial law?
Oh okay. It’s because the military rules the country. That’s why it’s okay to not have democracy anymore.
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.
Hell, I didn’t even set conditions on proof. I just said nobody can ever find anything that actually proves shit.
Are you so fucking stupid that you’re bringing up your deliberate bad faith as a POSITIVE???
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.

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.

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.

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.
