This is a community in the spirit of "Am I The Asshole" where people can post their own bans from lemmy or reddit or whatever and get some feedback from others whether the ban was justified or not.

Sometimes one just wants to be able to challenge the arguments some mod made and this could be the place for that.

I can't figure out how to view my own reply comment anymore, but a /Ukraine user commented this insanity and I called them out — that cornering a sociopathic nuclear armed dictator is recklessly stupid, and exactly what will trigger a nuclear war — and got massively downvoted for "enabling Russia". 90% of the user base agreed with "conquering" Russia, and thought previous mini incursions across the border are equivalent; proving that nukes are a forever bluff.

The best part? After inspecting several of the mods and users comment histories I realized all seem to have nothing to do with Ukraine whatsoever, and appear to be young pro-war machine North American jarheads (or keyboard warrior wannabes), who sub to or mod numerous other military related communities.

"Enabling Russia? You are completely unhinged. But I'm not surprised that a chudd with a username like "nuke" is a delusional internet-bro moron who doesn't understand psychopathy. I'm gonna go out a limb here and assume uneducated American &/or military jarhead; all testosterone, feefees, and no brains? What I am surprised is that the average here think that "conquering" a nuclear power is smart. Lucky for me though, the entire western world will drop all military support for Ukraine if idiots like you are in control and actually try to march on Moscow after defeating Putin."

"I mean fight them back and contain them in their borders obviously, but apparently the average on Lemmy is thick, slow, and ignorant, so I'll spell it out for you... Once the goal is to "conquer" a nuclear armed dictator, you run the risk of cornering a sociopath who has nothing else to lose and is likely to murder everyone if they can't have it all. Dictator = sociopath. Nuclear war = psycho. EVERYONE DIE. Triggering nuclear war = dumb cunt... Get it?"
