These people almost never speak Russian; if you spend even 5 minutes on unfiltered Russian social media you can't possibly remain in denial about what this war is actually about and what sorts of acts Russians are cool with their military committing.

Nor does it magically make it "not real harassment"!

Seriously for people who were even vaguely following the whole thing at the time, hearing "she wasn't actually harassed" is like hearing "the moon landing was faked." Fuck Brianna Wu to hell and back, but she absolutely endured a mass harassment campaign.

I don't believe her, I just believe what I fucking saw with my own fucking eyes lol. This wasn't happening behind closed doors!

Maybe not but I don't think that's the benchmark one has to meet to have a legit claim to having endured a mass harassment campaign!

Dude we all fucking saw her getting harassed to no end, we were fucking there. It was out in public.

This is mostly an excessively online disabled person thing IMO.

Tbh as someone with permanent pre-Covid post-viral crud I'm pretty sure that most disabled people (me included) are not interested in permanently masking in public.

Yup! I would like to know what the solution is for countries that no one wants to immigrate to where TFR is below replacement rate.

If there was not, you would not get the levels of immigration required (or immigration would be going both ways about equally, which obviously would not solve the problem).

Again, your solution is dependent on there being a permanent supply of countries that are shitty places to live.

Not enough people being born to sustain an aging population/welfare state. One doesn't have to like OP's solution to understand that this is a problem.

It's self-evident that "complete reliance on there being countries out there that are a much shittier place to live than your country" may not be a viable long-term solution to the demographic problem.

I'm a naturalized citizen of two countries (have immigrated twice) and originate in a shithole country and am so confused about what people are mad about, lol.

Honestly in the end (for us) it's not the money, it's the amount of time, effort and energy modern parenting demands. I might think 4 is the perfect number of kids theoretically, but no way in hell I could meet expectations with that number of kids.

Someone in my circles is like this, I asked why neither of the participants in the exchange has claimed it's fabricated then, and they thought it's plausible that their lawyers instructed them to keep quiet on the matter. Idk dawg.
