I'm sorry, but I have literally no idea what you're talking about. Who's robbing what land? Are we talking about Ukraine or Ireland?
Because I'm here talking about Ukraine and the UK.

Yup, and I know it. The alternative was an unpalatable amount of self-censorship I had no interest in, and even that wouldn't be a guarantee due to opaque moderation practices.
I don't have a problem with reasonable limits on behavior, but I can't play by the rules if nobody wants to tell me what they are and / or said rules can capriciously change from one moment to the next with no advance warning or notice.
It's a sad indictment of the situation that your explanation is still miles better than any other I've been able to come up with.
The only problem would be with the 'just', as most brutal dictators are indeed thin-skinned emotionally stunted man-children of the highest order.
Sure, but to my mind the question is: How does robber #2 pointing out that robber #1 is himself a robber excuse the actions of robber #2?
Why... was he even there?
Ah yes. Whataboutism. Suppose a robber acts in defense of a person about to be robbed. That may or may not make them a hypocrite, but it certainly doesn't make them wrong.
Or would you say it would somehow be more right for the robber to stand back and allow the robbery "because they're in no position to point fingers"?
That seems in line with the general level of mental health of the country.
Jesus, it'll be the end of the web if we don't get a grip on this madness. Just thinking about the wasted energy alone is aggravating.
Yeah, I'll wait for some independent confirmation of those numbers.
I got out recently too, albeit before actually getting ban-hammered. Given how new I am, it's not really my place, but..: Welcome!
Well, that's delightfully perverse.
