    I don't post things like this because it's often very hard to look at and rationalize. Perhaps that hesitancy was a mistake.

    Ah yes, equating a serious news article about the increasing rapes and murders of children in Ukraine with Liveleak.

    It sorta feels like a badge of honor if the loudest critic you have is Day. That's the impression I'm getting.

    I can understand in the abstract that Russian soldiers being blown up is good for Ukraine without needing to witness it myself, and also without forgetting that Russians are also human beings and war is, by and large, a tragedy from start to finish.

    It’s a whole lot easier to say that from a chair.

    My wife and kid are threatened? Yeah, I’m going balls deep into the war.

    Or is war only fought by single men with no children?

    Does balls deep include killing civilians if ordered?

    Asking people to be beholden to your set of ethics and 100% unwavering when put in morally compromising situations, especially when you do not exist in the same life or death circumstances as them, is probably one of the most intellectually dishonest arguments you can try to have.

    “War is atrocity committed in the name of survival.”

    That’s a Mass Effect quote so don’t 2deep4ubro me

    "your set of ethics"

    aka

    don't rape babies and massacre civilains by the hundreds in an unjust war of aggression

    it's a high bar i know but i have faith it's a reasonable standard to hold the Russians to

    Yeah, but like, what if they threatened your family. Then you HAVE to rape babies and massacre civilians. There’s no nuance here sir. None.

    Do we know that the Russians that Forte is enjoying watching be burned alive have done any of those things, or are we in full on ACAB for Russians?

    i will say empathy ought be used more liberally, as you say unless one is in the same circumstances one can only suspect what they might do and it's easy to be righteous in an armchair (though there's a lot of groundless conjecture stretching the price of said morality going around here, such as Russian families being punished for their family members deserting - a claim with absolutely zero evidence that is being reguritated over and over).

    but also throwing up one's hands and saying there ought be no judgement, there ought be no universal value system applied to situations in which one is not actively participating in is one of the most myopic and cowardly intellectual stances a person can take. yes there is evil in this world but unless you are either victim or participant you are not allowed to hold an opinion on it? shameful.

    I need to save all my opinions for MCU films, I don't have any to spare for mass atrocities.

    feel free to engage with any of the questions posited above to determine culpability. they are open questions anyone is welcome to think of and answer.

    though, they aren't easy ones and cheap lines and teasing forte is easier so i understand the hesitation.
