You were using an analogy where a bully threatens to beat you up and take your money.

No, I wasn't.

That's nothing like the current situation. The current situation is a nuclear armed nation is willing to wage an endless war and we're throwing money and bombs and tanks at the problem trying to make it go away.

No, it's not.

You're comparing small scale things to nuclear scale things and it's really just absurd.

No, I'm not.

Here's what I'm getting from their comments:

"US bad, Russia good. I love Putin and anything that I can pretend is a communist nation, despite not even being slightly close"

Bullies also don't have nuclear weapons.

Uh, yes. Yes they do.

It certainly can be.

States do not have unrestricted rights and cannot negate human rights.

I wish this was true but sadly it is not. Anti-choice candidates have continued to be elected and pass laws since June 2022.

Yes, there is. You have 705 post score and 565 comment score.

Some have sure, most I doubt. The largest instance certainly hasn't.

Intent is irrelevant. Humans don't work that way and will continue to downvote what they don't like/agree with and upvote what they do like/agree with. Creating a system that ignores how people work and asking them to please use it how you want will never work.

Everyone should just embrace how it's actually used and move on.

For this specific case, yes to the first question, no to the second question.

Admin refusing to do anything about a kid with a gun after being told a kid has a gun isn't a funding problem.

More like, it's less sketchy if you pay for a domain at all. .ml was free, what did they think was going to happen?
