I'm a brazilian ... We've just been through 4 years of a hellish fascist government whose election was sponsored and facilitated by the US via a coup

This is straight fire. Thank you for this contribution, I know I needed to hear this

ResetERA.com does not allow its members to post conspiracy theories.

Ahh yes “people here don’t care about minorities”. Do you see how the phrasing of that is so aggressively loaded and bullshit thst it doesn’t even warrant a response? Honestly I don’t understand how statements like thst can be be even “allowed” but here we ate. It’s incredible disingenuousness and incredibly rude to blanket statement an entire community on something so aggressively offending.

Gtfo here with that. But as typical fashion you are trying to do what Ot members do in that spin the discourse into some completely arbitrary statement that can’t possible be true but also can’t possibly be defended without going into some long back and forth that ends up with me being banned because you degrade the discussion down to “well all things are not equal and your statement isn’t all 100% pure and perfect”

A terrifying amount of critical thought happening in the poli thread

It's actually pretty easy to not get banned, I never have (though I deserved it at least once for being an ass to a poster, something I still regret even after apologizing). You just have to only engage in the most vapid of topics and never anything deeper. After the 2020 primaries, I definitely pulled back to mostly engaging in threads about TV shows and shit. Maybe that's the end goal, to nuke all discussion of hard or complex topics. Personally I'd prefer if that wasn't the case but I'm not convinced the forum is much different from back then.

Yikes, they're becoming genre savvy.

I mean, they clearly don't. They absolutely have favorites. People are just shocked to find out they and their buddies aren't included in the protected group. They're shocked to find that the way to gain favor isn't by adding value to the forum, but rather by being oppression stars and mod friends.

It's because they don't understand politics at a willfully ignorant level, this is the entire purpose of politics. The ResetERA.com staff adhere to the EVERYTHING IS POLITICS model. This is all they can do, it's inherently required.

User Banned (5 Days): Inflammatory Commentary; We Do Not Need To Compare Unjust Wars to Determine Which is More or Less Unjust

Syria, Afghanistan, but seeing as you are already running interference I am sure Afghanistan was also nothing for you

Speaking of Afghanistan:

It's clear visible here what conflict was worse for the country.

And Syria also shows that there's something wrong with Russia, like people starting disappearing very fast every time they enter any conflict.

Uh, wait, are they saying the U.S. response to 9/11 to attack al Qaeda and the Taliban and assist the more "progressive" Afghani rebels in that civil war was an unjust war?

Unless they're instituting pacifism as mandatory ideology like has been done here on The Bire they're going to struggle to find a more "just" war in their lifetimes than Afghanistan. Every other state that's ever existed would have bombed the whole nation into (further) dust.
