Angry Russians displaced after Ukraine crossed the border and invaded the Kursk region last week have vented their frustrations online to President Vladimir Putin.

The criticisms represent an unusually public show of defiance in a country where any cracks at the leader or military can draw harsh punishments.

    “I wasn’t being lazy because I only used the lie machine a little bit.”

    Gotcha.

      So you don’t have an actual argument, you’re just going to prop up the LLM strawman instead?

      Is what I said wrong? Or are your feelings hurt because I used a tool to summarize something?

          Lmao, what authority do you hold?

          So, calling out blatant logical fallacies is not being civil?

          Ok buddy, you do you…

            This was the uncivil part:

              And that’s different from this in what way?

              -“I wasn’t being lazy because I only used the lie machine a little bit.”

              Practice what you preach.

                That would have been after you had called me lazy, would it not? I was pointing out that you were doing what you were calling me. It was demonstrative.

                Do you think it is wise to continue down this hostile path with me? I think you would do best to walk away before you do something you shouldn’t.

                  Your argument is intellectually lazy, I stand by what I said.

                  I’m only mirroring your attitude friend, ban me if you want. Plenty of other places I can take my opinion. You would think as a mod you would want to foster participation in the community, and not get hung up on something so petty.

                  You came at me aggressively off the bat; if you can’t admit that, then we aren’t ever going to see eye to eye.

                  Screenshotting this whole thread.

                    I don’t plan on banning you. But I will delete any further posts that violate the civility rule.

                    I never even suggested I would ban you.
