Russia has launched fresh strikes on critical infrastructure - with Kyiv residents told to cut energy consumption every night for the rest of 2024. Meanwhile, Western officials reportedly fear a major Russian advance - amid concerns Vladimir Putin could launch an attempt to seize Kharkiv.
If I was in Ukraine, I’d get out.
You guys out in force today.
I wish Russians thought like you do.
If you are a man you are not allowed to leave. There are people who will promise to smuggle you out for many tens of thousands of dollars, but there’s no guarantee they will succeed at doing it, or even seriously try.
That statement is both transphobic and sexist. It implies that gender determines one’s abilities or choices, which is not only untrue but also harmful. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, regardless of their gender identity
I’m curious how you’d phrase it, there is a law in Ukraine and it is widely reported to apply to “men aged 18 to 60”. What phrasing would more accurately depict the current situation without having the problems you list? If you meant instead that the law itself is problematic, then I can understand that, it’s received some criticism for that side of things.
Everyone does deserve respect and dignity*. The commenter above just meant that the martial law forces a part of the population to be used for conscription
*Until they break the social contract themselves. I know it wasn’t implied in this case but it’s a preventive mention so someone doesn’t make any weird assumptions
One day old troll account
He doesn’t support the current thing… He must be a troll right? 👍
You’re a ban evader, modlog is full of your corpse accounts.

Honestly same. Unfortunately this is what NATO wants
What does NATO want?
NATO wants Putin to not attack sovereign countries.

Yup. That’s why MATO is in adding so reign countries…
Your side needs smarter people if you want any chance of not wasting your time. You are not cutting it.
What side?
Blocked.
The account is a day old. It’s going to be a throwaway account. The person running it is just gonna be on a new account the next time you see them.
A more-interesting mechanism might be one that has some kind of trust metric.
Reddit Enhancement Suite remembered how many upvotes and downvotes you’d given a user on past posts and comments and put a total of each by their username, so there was an immediate trust metric available.
There are ways to game that, like building up bogus accounts with a reputation for the specific purpose of agenda-based posting – but if you’ve got a group using burner accounts to try to influence social media that has to at least pay for those accounts by producing past helpful and constructive content, I’d say that we’re at least starting things off on the right foot. And there are counters to such gaming attempts.
Thanks for telling us!
