Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

stating that the ends justify the means isn't advocating for the killing of civilians (even if I wouldn't personally use that phrase); I don't know what the post was referring to, but if it was about the war in Ukraine, my guess would be that it was acknowledging that civilian deaths (on one side or the other) are unavoidable and that the alternative -- e.g. doing nothing to stop the slaughter of civilians in the Donbas and ignoring the threat of a US proxy on its border -- would be worse
