    People act as if he’s a supervillain. The other person literally said that the war is happening “because he felt like it”. How is that not supervillain logic? How does that not abstract away that Putin acts in the political interest of a national state?

    I’m not trying to argue for sympathy for that asshole. I just want people to think a teensy bit about the fact that states do things out of political calculations and interests. Not because one guy “feels like it”.

      It seems you are the one arguing he’s a super villain, not the rest. And don’t you dare argue Doom is not a supervillain because he does things “out of political calculations and interests”.

        How does that work if my stance is literally that “Wars don’t happen just because one guy feels like it” and sthe reply is “yu-uh!”?

          Never said yu-uh. Same as didn’t say Putin is a super villain.

          You’re only going around trying to have people to say “Putin has good reasons for genocide” and people ain’t buying it.

            You didn’t, but they did. Didn’t you read the comments?

            When did I ray anything of the sort? I can’t help but see this as a bad faith attempt of character assassination. I think an apology is in order.
