  • In 50 years time, when people look back on this internet era, one of the observations will be that many people do not posess the critical thinking skills to understand that enouraging discourse to de-escalate is not the same as being on the "wrong side" or being an apologist for something terrible.

  • Yeah it does seem like some people have interpreted any call for de-escalation to mean "Ukraine should stop resisting".

    In Corbyn's piece there I didn't detect any desire for Ukraine to stand down. Instead the concern seems to be over direct action from NATO escalating the situation.

    In fact he makes a point that total occupation of Ukraine would be the worst outcome. But I suppose that's where the argument over how best to prevent that starts.

    (Eta that what I'm getting at is that it's hard to pick the nuance out of what's being said at the moment. I don't really have a position on whether NATO should be involved directly or not)
