If there’s zero evidence, it should be easy for you to prove the accusation wrong. So far, you haven’t offered a shred of proof for your side of the argument.

I’m waiting.

AND Ad Hominem! Aww, you guys do know all the hits. You really know how to make a guy feel welcome.

Oooo, are we speedrunning logical fallacies again? I’ll take “whataboutism” for $1000, Alex!

Then feel free to do so. Nobody’s making you talk to anyone.

“How Moscow grabs Ukrainian kids and makes them Russians”

How the West Tolerated Russia’s Kidnapping of Ukrainian Children

очное число украинских детей, насильно вывезенных за время войны в Россию, неизвестно — по данным Киева, речь идет почти о 20 тысячах.

Report of the Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine

There are literally dozens more, from countries all over the world.

I dare you again. Prove me wrong. I’ve got dozens of world governments and human rights watchdog organizations on my side.

What have you got?

ChatGPT wishes it could sling righteously angry, politically aware sarcasm like I can.

Thanks! Finally wised up after getting banned from Reddit for correctly identifying a certain South African billionaire’s political leanings.

Turning a blind eye to it and living in an ignorant echo chamber of your own making is how the world got to the state its in now.

I’ll continue calling out their lies when I encounter them, thanks.

Prove it’s made up. I dare you.

Now, the dude who climbed it with no oxygen and then skied all the way back to base camp, THAT was impressive.

There’s a few lurking around Lemmy that are super committed to the bit. Multiple posts per day from Sputnik and RT, pile on whenever anyone calls out their propaganda.

20K children kidnapped and widespread civilian fatalities are probably the least of what’s actually going on. This is just what they were too stupid to hide.

A lot. The weather on Everest can turn on a dime, and if you don’t turn around and start back at the first sign of inclement weather, it can blow up in an instant and murder you.

Tons of summit attempts end with having to be abandoned just short of the finish.

OH. You thought I was here to engage in a debate with propagandists?

No, no, no.

I’m here to point out on every Russian state media post how the OP is a Russian shill.

You can stick your Russophile propaganda where the sun doesn’t shine, because I’m not the audience for it.

You immediately prevent taking any of your claims seriously by parroting Russian excuses for an unprovoked war of aggression.

Sorry, but if you’re looking to argue or try and get a rise out of me, you’re going to have to not mindlessly regurgitate Putin’s delusions.

Have the day you deserve.

There are. Of the 344 people who have died attempting the summit, at least 200 are still up there. You’re literally in the process of slowly dying above the 8000 meter mark, which is why it’s always deemed too dangerous to try and retrieve them.

Close the mountain. If you can’t take care of it, you don’t deserve to get to climb it.

Insane bravery. Talankin gave up almost everything in order to tell the world about this.

Remember, also, that among the children being indoctrinated into Russia’s new forever war are TWENTY. THOUSAND. Ukrainian children who have been stolen from their homes and forcibly resettled in Russian territory with Russian families.
