When this kind of thing happens, i usually assume they don't want the audience and respect their wishes.

Taking abuse gracefully is the sign of a nice person. Refusing to take abuse is the sign of a not nice person who deserves every bit of abuse they get.
The ones ones dispensing the abuse are conspicuously missing from the equation.

You could have opted to prove me wrong in private. I'm a sensible, rational person, and i question my views anyway, every day. But you have chosen harassment instead.
You're not as good a person as you might imagine.

In retrospect, i could probably phrase my thoughts in a more gentle way to prevent hurting your delicate sensibilities. Then, i would not have to suffer the humiliation of having to prove i don't support the genocide of any people. I don't.
My primary motivation in this kind of conversation is simple:
I do not want to die.
I do not want my family to die.
I do not want my friends to die.
And i don't want the murderers, who are busy planning that, to get another chance.

Optimism is intellectually lazy. There is a chasm between "Everything is going to be alright! Somehow!" and "Here are the problems, and here is how we are going to attempt solving them."
Daylife Wasting Time: saving 1.5% energy by sacrificing 5% societal health and sanity since times memorable. I must say, on consideration, it seems perfectly on-brand with the general way we're running society.

After decades of looking, i managed to find exactly one (1) woman who is willing to have sex with me. Maybe i should try my hand at communist revolutions instead.

@ColinTheMathmo If your primary need is keeping a set of files synced between multiple computers, Syncthing does a good job, while avoiding the reliance on a trusted third party. If your primary need is off-site file hosting, the solution will likely be different. As i don't normally use cloud storage, i am afraid i can't help with that much.

In retrospect, i really should have named "Rounds of Hell, part 1-3" "Be Entertained, round 1-3". Then again, naming things IS hard.
