I figure Jim Robinson doesn’t support helping Ukraine and that’s fine. I’ve seen him mention it’s not a declared war and that’s a very valid argument.
But half or more of these pro Russian or anti Ukrainians are full of hate. They bombard people with personal attacks.
A lot of their posts are anti American.
And the pro Russian stuff about what the great brilliant Christian guy “Vlad” is sickening.
As is the silliness about Zelensky being a “homo” because he did a stupid penis dance as a comedian years ago. He has a beautiful wife and kids who I saw in person once, and even if he were queer as a $3 bill (he isn’t) that is not remotely his defining characteristic during this war. Acually he’s a macho guy with an annoyingly deep voice.
I grew tired of pointing out how offensive and revoltingly unAmerican these people are.
Things like wishing for the Chinese to sink our ships, and Russia to nuke our cities.
And lastly, the constant lectures telling you exactly what will and won’t happen (”Vlad” will never give up his gains, Ukraine has been obliterated, on and on).
I never predict the outcome of the war because no one can.
That’s the end of my rant for the moment except to say easily 75% of them behave like pigs.
100% of pro-Zelensky posts are full of hate. Absolutely.
I understand what you are saying. The way I see it, there is a multi-tiered element involved: Pro-Russia/Anti-Ukraine/Anti-US, and any combination therein.
Some are adults, and are capable of making their arguments without rancor. I have respect for them, even if I disagree with them. Then there are the true believers, who will not allow any dissenting opinion. They are the fanatics. Then there are the punks, and the children, and the nuts; they are often one and the same. They are irredeemable, but are fun to joust with, because they will inevitably impale themselves on their own spears.
