May I ask, if someone were to make a gesture indistinguishable from a Nazi salute, what would be necessary to convince you it was, in fact, a Nazi salute?

I am curious about this as well. At least in some cases, it seems to be due to “alternate facts”, e.g., https://lemmy.ca/comment/13198294

Thank you for sharing what seems like a genuine reply.

Of course they are

Could I please ask for a bit more info here? The way this is phrased, it sounds like it is obvious and goes without saying, but I haven’t heard of any NATO attacks on Russia. Is there something you would be willing to reference beyond “common knowledge”?

Interesting. Genuinely, thanks for your reply— I’m beginning to think there’s been some sort of misunderstanding (likely on my part). I definitely was not defending Pug’s comment...

Russia needs to defend itself against NATO is not spin.

Genuine question: why? Is NATO attacking Russia?

Of course! Increasing genocide is of little consequence compared with suffering people’s judgment. Glad we share priorities

Indeed! The actual consequences of (in)actions are unimportant so long as claimed intentions are pure…

  1. Claim to be anti-genocide,
  2. Act in a way that increase genocide,
  3. Accuse others of being pro-genocide,
  4. Revel in moral superiority

Doesn’t vote, gets a lot of genocide instead

ITT: a bunch of non-native English speakers lecturing native English speakers on the meaning and usage of English words in colloquial English :-/

Ok, not a downvoter, but I’ll bite. A system with more than one party is more democratic than a system with a single party. Are you asking which of the two major parties in the US is the “second” party, making the US more democratic than if there were a single party? If so, I see why no one is answering. If not, perhaps you could clarify your question?
