Oh hey! You never got back to me on whether you felt that the discussion we had exposed some more nuance on the subject of the war in Ukraine, I assumed you must have gone to sleep or something. But I was really enjoying our discussion and was genuinely curious if you felt it had been productive. Maybe you just wanted to argue with other people more, but it seemed like we were making progress.

For what it's worth, I didn't say Russia was justified, I said the war was bad and the US made decisions that lead to this situation. I'd appreciate it if you would represent me fairly. I certainly hope you're representing everyone else fairly too, I didn't really read the other discussions you were having.

I blocked all hexbear communities after last night, sorry for not getting back to you. There were just to many conversations going on at once.

Yeah I don't think yours were the most wrong takes on Russia out there. I can't see them now though since I blocked the community. I guess justified might be stretching it, since some people were saying morality and justice were useless to try and apply to nations. I guess that would be defending the amorality of Russia?

You didn't actually say any of my takes were wrong, you asked clarifying questions or moved from what we were talking about to another related issue that bothered you. It's truly unfortunate that you've blocked the community and can't go back to see the context, I felt like we were getting somewhere. I'm sure you had your reasons though.

Yeah there were some good ones in there. But I got sucked into answering and asking several hundred questions for 6 hours and didn't think it would be a good thing to go regularly.
