    Put rich landlords and greedy politicians on leaky boats; put refugees in their former homes.

    Redistribute the 5 extra empty homes owned by each of the rich exiles for renting out and capital accumulation to the already-extant populace, and the housing problem is sorted, for at least a generation.












  • Ok, I see now that you have no interest in arguing in good faith,

    Sorry that you don’t like being confronted with the fact that you don’t give a single fuck about Ukrainian lives and are just virtue signaling. But hey - have fun advocating for Ukranians to meekly submit to be massacred in order to take the moral high ground of (checks notes) not using explosives to stop the Russian advance. Really terrible stuff would have happened in this war if we allowed that, just absolutely exceptional suffering.

    Also, nice one on running from the fact that you accused the Ukrainian government of being ready to just mine their own land and leave it that way post-war. Keep up the good work, I’m sure Putin and all the other fascist fucks are very proud of you.


  • doesn’t matter what anyone likes to argue, people are going to die and the only way to stop is to negotiate

    Oh cool, let’s negotiate for genocide. That way people will stop dy-

    Oh, genocide means the exact opposite?

    Huh. Weird.

    “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves a world full of blind, toothless people”

    And refusing an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth leaves a world subdued into abject slavery by people willing to commit violence on innocents to get whatever they want - including the thrill of committing violence on innocents.

    This is “Gandhi writing to Britain and saying they should surrender to the Nazis because nonviolence is the highest principle” level bullshit.



  • The nature of landmines is that of an indiscriminate and long lasting danger. Do you really think that, once the war is one and it’s time for civilians to move back to the areas that war has displaced them from, Ukraine is going to dig them all up again?

    Yes, that’s literally what fucking happens. Planned UXO operations are already going to take decades because of all the mines that Russia has laid, including in civilian areas, but I’m sure that you’re just really concerned about Ukraine’s post-war UXO situation becoming worse by (checks notes) Ukraine laying mines it itself has recorded in non-civilian areas.

    This is some “Dresden, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki were all great” type nonsense.

    Ah, the “Blockading Japan and having millions starve is the moral high ground” option.

    Dresden was bad because it did not have commensurate military value to the civilian destruction it caused, and bomber command was well aware of that.

    Oh they promised, did they? What a relief!

    Oh, so we’re going on the assumption that Ukraine doesn’t care about their own post-war situation despite all of their actions thus far pointing towards the exact opposite?

    Cool cool cool. Very paternalistic mindset, glad we’re still doing the “Noble Western Savior” thing in telling countries being genocided how exactly they’re allowed to defend themselves and accusing them of being savages if they disagree.
