    I feel like a lot of people need to hear about the little boy who cried wolf. Beware of fatiguing people with constant outrage or people just disregard what you say.

      They don’t care… you’re arguing with Dimitri in St. Petersburg.

      His goal is to use Israel’s genocide in Gaza as a wedge issue to get people angry so they don’t vote for Biden. That way the Kremlin can get their asset into the White House again. Trump has already tried to cut support for Ukraine and NATO before the Kremlin even started their barbaric war, no doubt he’ll continue enabling the Kremlin if he wins again.

      Side bonus any time Dimitri gets political extremes fighting each other and weakens the social fabric of the US.

          There are many news stories in mainstream and alternative media about the Kremlin interfering in elections etc. They use anonymous accounts to influence massive amounts of people.

          The Kremlin is willing to spend trillions of dollars for their war of conquest in Ukraine, of course they’re also investing in a much cheaper and more politically palatable cultural war online.

      I feel like anyone defending a handcuffed woman being stripped and exposed in her bra in public means they’re completely fucked in the head

        I feel like searching for any reason to be outraged is incredibly unhealthy mentally. There’s plenty to be outraged about without looking for made up issues.

        Cool ad hominem though it definitely addressed my point and doesn’t make you look like a simpleton who’s (if I can borrow a phrase) “completely fucked in the head.”

          First of all this definitely isn’t protocol.

          Even if it was protocolm anyone saying that this level of clearly unnecessary extreme sexual harassment is fine is considered a rape apologist in my book.

          Say this was another country where the police kidnaps women and rapes them because “it’s protocol” you’d be fine with it too?

            You know what? You must be real stupid if you can’t see a difference between the two situations and I never said anything about “protocol” so I’m not sure what you’re quoting. I have better things to do with my time than being called a rape apologist because I don’t foam at the mouth and jump on every idiot bandwagon that gets posted. Now piss off idiot.
