Lentils.

If you want to meet leftist, you will meet people who are against NATO and who know all the evil the USA has done. Those are entities that have spent the last 100 years genociding left leaning people with the help of fascist groups all around the world, so of course we aren't friendly to them. If you aren't aware of that, you may be from Europe, so I suggest you research Operation Gladio to have an example of what they did here, to their supposed allied countries.

If you're not open to those ideas, I really don't understand why you were hoping to meet leftists.

Whole grain pasta.

If anyone would like more context about the kind of think they were posting:

Ca va pas couter une blinde d'analyser tous les cacas ? Ca serait pas plus efficace et moins cher d'employer quelques personnes pour s'occuper de la propreté de la ville ?

Et sinon, quite à partir dans ce genre de délires, est ce qu'on peut ficher genetiquement les fumeurs pour trouver à qui appartiennent les mégots par terre ?

They block a shit ton of instances, not always for good reasons. Often to maintain an echo chamber.

I doubt the people in Rostov are the ones who were in Czechoslovakia in 1968.

Imagine moving to a place that's home to a lot of people you don't like, and calling them dirty.

Bien reçu ! Heureusement pour le moment je n'en ai vu que sur les commu anglophones, esperons que cela reste ainsi.

The majority of vegans aren't self righteous assholes. We couldn't give a shit about what you eat. What we are against, is the exploitation, rape, torture, and murder of animals for entertainment.

If you can grow meat in a lab without resorting to the coercion of individuals less privileged than you, that's great and we have no problem with that.

the nuclear strikes on Japan killed less than the conventional firebombing runs leading up to it, and if nukes wouldn’t have been used a shit ton more people would have died.

That's an absolutely disgusting thing to say. Japan was already surrendering, they were only nuked as a show of strength.

I'm not sure what you imply when you say that "a shit ton more people would have died", but if you're saying that the US should have napalm bombed an entire surrendering country just to make an example, I don't think it makes your argument valid. It's not ok to do something horrible, just because you could have done something even worse if you had wanted to.

Unfortunately, the sanctions on Russian already made them aware that the West is against them.

You gotta admit, it's very suspicious to be massively downvoted (25, not 4) over an inconspicuous comment that merely highlights a few paragraphs of the linked article.

I know I would also be wondering if there was a pattern in the origin of those downvotes.

"If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the statement on Telegram said.

Not gonna lie, that's pretty smart. Now if Ukraine decides to start shelling the plant, they can just pretend that it's actually Russia that detonated some charges.

I think that's a pattern we'll start seeing more and more.
