I have some questions you might ask yourself:

What is the count of those vs. the number of surrendered Russians being treated well?

Which one is more likely to be in the news?

Which one is more likely to be spread around by Russian bots?

Which will be more likely to be suppressed?

I see where you're coming from. It's like tolerating the intolerant. There is a point where Ukraine needs to choose between total destruction by Russia, or doing whatever it takes to get their land and people back.

It's not like Russia is held accountable for war crimes. Why would we be so critical of Ukraine when no one is doing anything to stop the atrocities of Putin?

I don't happily endorse the thermite drones, but you won't find me playing judge on what Ukraine is doing. They didn't start this war.

I saw plenty of Democrats holding their nose to vote for Biden, while being very vocal about his age and cognition. I don't see any criticism about Trump from his base. They shun any Republican politician who speaks out against him, so all we get is softballs from those not up for re-election again.

I mean, why do you think Biden stepped down? It was pressure from voters, pressure from donors, and pressure from a ton of elected democrats. Where is that pressure on Trump?

Woah! Usually that's for a specific body of water or specific fish species. Do you live downstream from a superfund site?

Oh, so that's who they've got running the media these days. That makes sense.

Ok, I'm going to reply like you're being serious. It is a tool and it's out there and it's not going anywhere. Do we allow ourselves to imagine how it can be improved to help students or do we ignore it and act like it won't ever be something students need to learn?

This all comes back to supporting young men and men in finding positive social groups and support systems that don't have extreme ideology attached. In the absence of a general, common avenue to community for men, it seems like these edge groups will continue to leverage that component to lure them in.

Agree, though their coverage of Bernie's 2016 presidential run towed the DNC party line, which made me less sure about their neutrality. Now I tend to hit up the BBC if I want US news coverage and I don't have time to ingest multiple sources.
