meh until one side produces convincing evidence, the only rational thing to do is not to have an opinion I'm not going to be shamed as a "fence sitter" and then arbitrarily pick one political coalition to join, just bc someone tried to hurt my feelshttps://twitter.com/neontaster/status/1503744269005299716 …

6/ this is a statement about what I am not going to do ; not a statement re what others may or may not have done I was responding to your EMOTIONAL / SOCIAL argument that "fence sitting" is bad.

8/ what benefit do I get from learning about the presence (or not) of US funded labs in Ukraine, and whether they were developing bioweapons (or not) like the US funded labs in China? Zero, as far as I can tell.

12/ no, I wasn't ...but I will apologize for being unclear.

What am I supposed to do with these "conclusions". I concluded many years ago that George W. Bush was a war criminal and we're aiding genocide in Yemen. Where do I cash these "conclusions" in? They're not valid at the store these three week old humanitarians shop at.
