Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse. We need to discuss ways to combat this. One group- memes or something is wholly controlled by Chinese state actors. What do you think?

what does Ukraine gain by hitting civilians?

it's the only thing that Russia will understand

So we are using your words, you just don't like how people react to what you are saying.

I mean taking out oil facilities, energy facilities, government facilities, and homes of politicians and military leaders who support the war. But in St. Petersburg and Moscow.

This goes back to those that think it's okay to blow shit up if it belongs to the bad people. Also see how Israelis see their neighbors

Yes those are my words. I never said anything about attacking civilians. Maybe I should have elaborated, but I was talking about hitting Moscow and St. Petersburg. The other guy was talking about civilians. Just because someone puts up a straw man and I didn't immediately tear it down doesn't mean I said something.

But this is what it's like on .ml. Someone will twist your argument into something that can get you banned without you even saying the words that you are getting banned for. It's a worthless place to be.

Your deleted comment was also about nothing will change until the people feel it when talking about how Ukraine needs to hit Russian cities.

Which gets back to asking what you think people are if not civilians.

Just because someone puts up a straw man and I didn't immediately tear it down doesn't mean I said something.

It's not a strawman when you start with bomb the cities

They will feel it when they see targets in their cities being hit. And I've already told you what targets I meant.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Which again gets back to do you not care or think about the people living in the cities?

Or it okay as long as a legal order? Cause there's others on lemmy who love to say that's fine even if order is to target civilians

[–] realitista@lemmus.org 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes it's okay as long as it's a legal order. And there are plenty of legal targets in Moscow and St. Petersburg.
