Theres something deeply funny about hiding behind a throwaway account while saying that anyone Russian by means of passport ought to be repressed. Cowardly display



How so? Do you think anonymity shouldn't be allowed online?

Can you link to your LinkedIn or other personally identifiable information?

What's your solution to what's going on in Ukraine? Why should Ukrainians suffer and die while Russian citizens are free to live a life of peace?


> How so?

You're calling for repression while avoiding responsibility for what you post. Specifically you're calling for nationality-based repression which would affect people who haven't lived in the country for decades or had no meaningful input.

You're just feigning a petty tyrant.

> Can you link to your LinkedIn or other personally identifiable information?

My handle isn't some random assortment of characters and if you Google my name, you will find it all.

> What's your solution to what's going on in Ukraine?

I'm just some idiot with a keyboard, who cares what my opinion is?


>You're calling for repression while avoiding responsibility for what you post

It sounds like you're opposed to the idea of interacting on the internet without some kind of verified identification. Discussions have different levels of "safe" viewpoints. Instead of having a different account for each tier of discussion, I use a singular account for all of them. That being said, I don't think this is an extreme point of view as the west is already sanctioning wide swaths of the Russian economy.

>Specifically you're calling for nationality-based repression which would affect people who haven't lived in the country for decades or had no meaningful input.

Yes. Citizens from enemy countries should not be treated the same as those from friendly or neutral countries.

For Russians, it's their country and their people that are invading a neighbor and killing others. It's their president that is threatening to start a nuclear war. Russian citizens in foreign countries are free to claim asylum in those countries and work towards a different citizenship


> Discussions have different levels of "safe" viewpoints

You don't have viewpoints, you have cosplays. If you had viewpoints, you'd stick by them. Instead you get to have your cake and eat it: post whatever catches your fancy that particular week and then pretend to be on the posters version of the underground railroad.


Again, so you think that individuals should only be able to intero over the internet with verified identification?
