What is “this”? #Chernobyl is inactive. Has any active reactor fallen in the hands of the Russians already?
Even if/when they do: I doubt the Russians will be more unreliable or reckless as managers than the Ukrainians.
I would find out how often in History a nuclear plant has changed hands quickly, to a much more unreliable owner.
How so?
That will surely help.

Not sure I can weigh in, because you two lost me early in the thread. I simply don't understand well many of your sentences, I'm sorry.
Replying only to one of the few points I understood, early on:
> _“Defeat this culture, and all your men issues, which are consequences of objectification of women, will largely go away.”_
As [I've argued before](https://qoto.org/@tripu/106796492140032253), that trick won't fly.
Men's issues are not “consequences of objectification of women” (in the same way that women's issues are not a consequence of the disposability of men). To think that men die younger and more violently, after more school failure and fewer university degrees, and much higher rates of addiction, homelessness, incarceration and suicide _because women are objectified_ is delusional or malevolent.
In any case, if “defeating” “this culture” (whatever that means) actually fixed both men's issues and women's issues, then we all should be focusing on men's issues at least as much as we care about women's issues.
Politicians should talk about them and approve subsidies and campaigns aimed at improving the situation of men, the media should run shows and sections specifically about that, the justice system should be reformed to fix its bias against men, educational methods should be revised to be more inclusive of boys and their needs, social media should be flooded with empathy and support for men every other day, etc.

I shall shut up about this topic at least for a while now, but for anyone out there still thinking that #MRA's and other critics of mainstream #feminism and of the concepts of #patriarchy and #maleprivilege are some kind of delusional misogynists amplifying trifles for the sake of controversy: please spend a few minutes reviewing the data (not _opinion_ — _data_) contained here:

In my experience, the single most effective (and irritating) thing all #conspiracytheorists
(#covid-related or otherwise) seem to do when confronted with specific counterarguments is **being all over the place**, jumping from one thread to another, conflating lots of different claims in a hazy grand narrative, avoiding focus on any one idea to examine it carefully.

Yes, not something new.
I have an half Ukrainian friend which is banned from Ukraine since 2014 as he didn't go there to fight
