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.

Rules

Expect to receive feedback about your posts, they might even be negative.

Make sure you follow this instance's code of conduct. In other words we won't allow bellyaching about being sanctioned for hate speech or bigotry.


Some acronyms you might see.

tripling down or lose a significant level of force projection in the middle east

Oh so you're an imperialist apologist. Opinion discarded.

NOPE

I'm willing to understand the operating paradigm of other people. This is the modus operandi of the US. They have motivations that they SHOULD dissuade themselves from being influenced by, but that doesn't make a difference in how the world currently is, or what currently motivates them.

You can conflate in your head what is and what should be, but that just frustrates real attempts to making the world closer to what it should be.

This reductionism on your part is disrespectful.

Opinion discarded.

While I agree that the sentence is imperialist apologia, I disagree with this approach. There's something to be learned from everything, especially when there's much mroe than what you're focusing on.
