    Yeah, let’s let the bully get their way, that’ll only work out well for us.

    Edit in case someone needs a meme to understand that eye for an eye doesn’t apply to every situation evenly

      If you are content to throw around pithy aphorisms in place of rational discussion, consider that an eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

        You realize dollar for dollar doesn’t mean retaliation with tariffs directly, right? There are other tools in the toolbox.

        Uh huh. So I guess you have no idea what happens when you cowtow to a rapist country that is content to keep taking whatever it deems fit

        You’re a treacherous POS if you think whatever you said isn’t completely stupid

          Buddy, you are ALL up in your feels and not in control of yourself. You’re not responding to what I wrote, you’re responding to voices in your head. I was commenting on the quality of your argument, not on the underlying truth of the situation. The point being made is that any position can be justified when you use cliches instead of actual reasoning. For that you have to resort to childish name calling? Clearly you are not being a serious person right now. If you can pull yourself together, you’re welcome to try again, but I have reported your abusive comment.

          I’d also like to add that even if I was advocating for Canada to be annexed or some shit like that, your response would still be unacceptable. You don’t get to abuse people because you don’t respect their opinions. That’s fucked up.

            Welcome to Lemmy, where insults are thrown around freely and any comments encouraging constructive discourse is voted straight to the bottom of the thread.

            We like to think that this forum is a place for intellectuals, but it’s unfortunately just another mirror of society.
