i just find it more helpful to communicate in concrete terms because it leaves fewer room for ambiguity and misunderstanding

in this context "fuck off" could mean a million different things: a direct conflict, an information campaign seeking to inform people about the negative aspects of [something] or discredit, or economic sanctions, or closer cooperation with the aim of trying to contain military action via diplomacy et cetera

Basically, willfully ignoring context.

i feel like you'd be able to type out what you meant by that several times already in the time it took us to type out this back-and-forth, i'm legitimately unsure what you meant by that

the only good reason i can imagine why one wouldn't want to do that is because nato opposition in certain circles exists as a vague and nebulous pent-up hostility without any sort of concrete and detailed plan to combat it, which would provide a concrete framework upon which one would be able to act, and in the absence of which anything ones says can't be criticised because it's so vague and inconcrete...

i may be wrong though 🤷‍♀️

Yeah, pretty much wrong if all you do is willfully ignoring basically all. You are showing already it also in another convo with another user, why should I waste my effort in people that are willingly ignorant?
