Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Yes, it is compassionate to oppose a war. Even if you personally don't feel one side is human, you must understand that both sides are going to suffer massive casualties right?
And even if you don't consider either side human, you know we spend billions on keeping South Korea militarized right? We're still paying for that war in rotting infrastructure and schools even if it's not our blood being spilled.
Then again, if I had a nickle for every time I heard someone extol how much they care for the Ukrainian people also say that the war is a wonderful way to kill Russians without spilling a drop of American blood, I'd be able to afford a house. I suspect that you don't care about either side's people or your own beyond how their lives can be spent to defend western hegemony.
It is not compassionate to support a brutal dictatorship.
Nice strawman you started building, it's a shame you stopped half way.
Another half attempt at finishing your strawman?
You're making a lot of assumptions here.
If only they didn't have a brutal dictatorship next door.
Wrong.
It only took you three paragraphs to complete your strawman! Congrats you did it.
Cry about it tankie scum.
Opposing war doesn't equate to supporting a dictator.
You literally have no argument.
Allowing aggression to go unchecked is the opposite of opposing war - it literally encourages more.
Opposing war doesn't necessarily equate to pacifism, either.
The user they're replying to is a tankie. Dictator support is baked into the ideology.
Yes it does, when the war you're opposing is one intended to bring consequences to a dictator. Unopposed dictators continue to dictate and empower other dictators. You don't stop a bully by turning the other cheek. That just gets you punched in both sides of the face. You stop a bully by bringing them consequences to their actions. When there are no consequences, the actions continue.
If you'd like to read more about this, please check into the entirety of human history.
Literally nowhere in any of my responses have I alluded to me being an absolute pacifist. In fact, one of my replies implies that I'm not, I'm just against war (because, you know, it's fucking atrocious for all involved), because you can absolutely oppose the act of war while still being down for some violence yourself.
My argument is they should have been shot.
The weak little dictator isn’t going to get into a shooting match with the South over a couple of dead soldiers.
If you think they will then you know nothing of the history.
killing two soldiers doesn't solve anything. They should invade north korea and fill it with a thousand McDonalds. Its the only way to restore freedom(tm)
