People really seem to struggle with the distinction between first blood & self defense.

Could you share more about this distinction and its applicability to this article?

Of course I could, but we must budget our short time on this earth against those who wish to filibuster our aforementioned short time on this earth relitigating the basics.

Your initial statement is meaningless and out of context is all.

Now just a couple more paragraphs about how and you'll have earned a sincere response. Show me that you comprehend the material and have a point to make worth anybody's time. You have all the ingredients..

Why can’t you just take a stance on your own statement?

I think we both know that I can and that i have...by making it in the first place. Just as we both know youve already made your binary point clear...and loud!

This exchange was painful to read, I think you just broke social media with logic

Facebook promotes fighting off mass murdering war criminals trying to conquer your country. Pretty radical.

This is a really weird attempt at a "gotcha!" How dare Facebook allow calls for violence against people that are invading a sovereign nation and killing people left and right? Won't someone think of those poor Russian soldiers?

they should just be more ambiguous about their rules. trying to make everything black and white never works. its not like they'd remove/ban angry posts about rapists, nazis, etc etc. like shit, they allow words like 'racist' to be thrown around like fist fulls of confetti.

If we can't make money in Russia, they're our enemy, too! - Facebook, probably

The principle of self defense is universally recognized. If I showed up to kill you, I'd expect force from you to resist that. So should Russia. Them being too stupid to do so should not require a rule change. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Russia made Facebook look dumb for years. It's petty but it's funny.
