    No. You don't get to call out a group of people because they are all agreeing on a subject.
    Sorry. That doesn't fly.
    There are essentially 3 posters with one view.
    There are many many posters with a different view. If your view is very very unpopular it will be called out.
    Those posters don't get to call people out and then cry when they get teamed up on.
    This is the internet.
    Deal with it.

    I apologize if that seems harsh but it's plain and simple fact of life on the internet.

    sure. If we want to live as if the internet are realistic rules. the reality is we are so few in numbers that neither side should act as though they are right with thier opinions.

    8 of 10 people agreeing out of a country of 350 million is nothing id ever hang my hat on.
    The reality is this place is an echo chamber aNd few look at the bigger picture. the national numbers are far closer than if a poll were taken in S2, on almost any political topic. But because of the echo chamber, many live in their own world and push with insults and degradation, their opinion as if the other side is crazy, selfish, inhumane, etc.
    And no need to apologize to me, you haven't insulted me you are just making your point. All good. :)
    But i think we may need to agree to disagree.
    Ive seen some pretty hateful things said from the left side just as i have the right.

    A Russian warship that attacked Snake Island, where Ukrainian soldiers cursed out invaders, has reportedly been destroyed

    • A Russian warship that attacked Snake Island last month was reportedly destroyed.
    • Ukrainian military sources told The Times on Tuesday that the Vasily Bykov had been destroyed.
    • Sources said it had been involved in the attack, in which troops told a ship to "go fuck yourself."
    A Russian warship that attacked Ukraine's Snake Island last month has been destroyed, military sources told The Times on Tuesday.

    The Times reported that a large patrol corvette named the Vasily Bykov appeared to have been hit by rockets early Monday morning local time.

    "Ship was destroyed, it is confirmed," a Ukrainian military source told The Times.

    The Times described a military-intelligence group as saying the Vasily Bykov was one of two ships that attacked Snake Island last month, in an incident in which Ukrainian soldiers told a Russian ship to "go fuck yourself."

    This is the kind of video i don't care for. Hard to tell exactly what was happening other than the car was destroyed.
    Not sure if they were civilians or not? Even if they are plain clothed they might be very military minded.
    Not sure if they were going to try to get closer to the tank and blow it up or not?

    This is part of war. Unfortunately i have seen what i thought were civilians blow up military vehicles.

    And this is how propaganda gets spread and can warp minds. We don't know if this car came from a civilian infrantry a mile away and was late in trying to set mines on the road prior to the tanks showing up(there was more than one russian vehicle, a tank or somethingelse, FYI)

    Unfortunately this is war and this is not the same as executions of surrendering soldiers or bombing civilian residences.

    At the same time, this is part of why war sucks sooo fucking bad and Russia is in the wrong. Fuck war. Dipomacy diplomacy diplomacy. And if that don't work... TRY AGAIN!

    So im supposed to trust some tweet headline? I didn't see an article link verifying that's where they came from? If I did, I apologize, i missed it. But Ive seen many misleading thread titles in here, let alone tweets and news feeds to know better than to trust it without verification. I was just going on the video itself, and I see no way anyone can tell who is behind the wheel.

    Yeah but that tank could have been very scared of the little compact car driving down the road. You just never know.
