Why do remoaners who can't accept facts block ...but also leave a comment when they run away like children?

It's hilarious how pompous but also cowardly they are 😄 🤣

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

I haven't yet read all of this very long thread, but the argument so far makes not continuing quite difficult
Understanding Ukraine is therefore crucial to comprehending the enormous genocide inflicted on Ukraine, its link to the Holocaust and the causes of WW2 and what might be WW3 which has arguably commenced as Russia seeks to recolonise Ukraine. (7/64)
