The Android app “Connect” does instance blocking and it’s so useful!

Despite probably being labeled a NATO sympathizer, I’m confused about your stance towards NATO and I wanted to ask a question:

Do you agree that Ukraine was invaded by russia, and that Ukraine has a right to defend itself? Are russia the bad guys in your general worldview?

NATO is a big part of the support for Ukraine, so I’d like to understand the people here and why NATO is disliked/hated.

Sorry if this comes across as trolling, I’ve found a lot of threads from CTH that I’ve enjoyed but I don’t want to jump in without understanding things first.

Everyone religious wakes up tomorrow realizing that it’s just a social club and none of the god stuff is real.

Ah, the old “out of context / different context” excuse. And that context is never explained, either.

I’m gen-x. I grew up in a “different context” in the UK and cringe when I think of some of the stuff I said as a kid/teen. I’ve grown the fuck up though, and taken responsibility for being a better person than I once was. Part of that is apologizing to groups I once repeated slurs about. I don’t understand why someone wouldn’t apologize.

“Oh, crap, yeah I understand how that is offensive now. I am sorry and I will do better in future.” <– how difficult is that?

It’s not even someone they like, they just use it for easy trolling just like in this thread.

Edited to add: don’t feed the trolls by responding to anyone from hexbear. Just use your Lemmy client’s features to block the user or the instance. Connect on Android has great blocking features.

“The network broadcast footage of al-Dahdouh breaking down in grief as he peered at the body of his son in the hospital morgue. His wife, daughter and grandson were also killed in Tuesday’s strike, along with 21 other people.”

al-Dahdouh is Al Jazeera’s chief correspondent in their Gaza office.

And the USA is asking them to not show the horror of being bombed? Because it’s “inflaming public opinion”?!?

I can’t believe that was requested with a straight face, surely?

I don’t know what is real anymore. Surely this can’t be real?
