    Please point to literally anyone in this thread that is defending Putin or trying to say it’s about “both sides” in that war specifically.

    Here, I can do it. I can do the magical thing that you want:

    Putin bad. Russian invasion of Ukraine bad.

    I’ll go even further:

    Netanyahu bad. Palestinian genocide bad.

    Also, and you’ll be shocked to hear that multiple things can be true at the same time:

    Xenophobia bad.

    Is that… what you wanted?

        Holy shit, you read the first sentence and just fired that off, didn’t you?

        You have to keep reading.

            “No.” what? “No.” you won’t keep reading beyond the first sentence, or “No.” you didn’t fire that off after only reading the first sentence? Those are contradictory.

            But I’m not going to play dumb. I know your terse responses are to signal that you aren’t taking me seriously and you’re treating my words with contempt. I get it.

            But the weird thing is that you’re all over this thread challenging people to disavow putin, and the moment somebody does, you won’t even acknowledge it. Is that because you put so much stock in the idea that we’re enlightened centrists that you didn’t actually bother to form a coherent thought beyond that?
