Got downvoted on lemmy.world for pointing out that if you murderer people indiscriminately you're going to end up killing trans people.
I responded to someone saying that Palestinians are transphobic so we should get to kill them. I guess it makes sense though, it's how liberals can live with themselves. If they don't think of an entire diverse group of people, or an entire religion, as transphobes or anti-lbgtq it becomes harder to support genocide. You just think of all of them as anti-lgbtq and maybe you can sleep better at night. (Not providing any evidence for this though of course.) They don't even hide they are racist any more. Amazing.
I’m not joking, the Ukrainians have been sticking to that formula since the beginning of the war. They exaggerate enemy losses by tenfold and undercount their own losses by tenfold. Zelenskyy is saying that there have only been 30,000 Ukrainian soldier deaths the entire war, just in complete denial of reality
They had a standing army before the war of about 250k during pre war buildup, but they've only suffered 30k deaths? While Russia has had air, armor, and artillery superiority the whole time?
And they are also openly conscripting any male that can stand and operate a firearm?
I think a big part of it is that they'll do that thing where you only count a death and not a casualty even though that can mean a wound that keeps you out of combat readiness for weeks, months, or even permanently. Some dude with no foot because he stepped on a mine is gonna be hobbling back to the front at this rate like the worst stages of Barbarossa and the irony will be totally lost on the West.
There was some western report/claim recently about 500000 Russian losses (forgot where it's from exactly), which people/propagandist just assume/wish/spin means dead (it doesn't). This is after the Russians, a few weeks ago, officially claimed half a million losses on the Ukrainian side, so I imagine that's just "no u" propaganda.
