I wish people would remember that Random Russian Conscripts != Putin and Gang. Imagine living in a fucked up oligarchic kleptocracy and it's your 16th birthday and you're thinking about your girlfriend the test tomorrow and maybe moving to America to get away from it all when you graduate and suddenly you find out it's your turn to get fed to the meat grinder. There are standing orders to shoot you if you attempt to flee to the safety of enemy hands.

Young Gregorvitch, why did you choose to be born in this place at this time, you piece of teenage garbage? You should have made better pre-life decisions.

I hope we never become truly FTL space-capable unless we breed this seemingly necessary hate of "the other" out of ourselves. Imagine the havoc we would wreck on the universe with all the "others" out there.

Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
