The fallacy of the undistributed middle is a formal fallacy, so it doesn't depend on the semantics of its terms (and related external knowledge). Your...
Here is the problem: temporal correlation doesn't equate to causality (that's your initial objection, correlation is not causality), the concept of "m...
I didn't talk about causation. But since we are at it, tell me what would be the difference between causation and correlation in history and what woul...
No I'm not making up my own definition . But the meaning of the word can be stretched depending on context and needs. So if you do not provide your de...
Again if you do not clarify the way you use words (as I did), despite you have been asked to, that's matter of your personal intellectual honesty. And...
Capability depends on material and cultural factors that can be geopolitically at stake: ex-soviet regimes have done so, by joining NATO or EU (in aro...
“Racism”, as I understand it, refers to beliefs (typically unproven) about biological traits (the “race”) which encourage a social discrimination (typ...
Define "lazy racism", lazy boy. Quote me where I claimed that. What is "extend the crimes" supposed to mean? People may be different. But culture and ...
https://www.spisok-putina.org/en/about-the-project/ The project aims to gather information related to persons of the following categories: The “POWER-...
Generics can be used to convey or suggest racial stereotypes and incentivize forms of social discrimination, but the claims I (and others) made here a...
Your logical acumen is very poor. "Russians oppress Chechens" doesn't have the logical form of "Black people are all criminals" or "Roma are all drug ...
Yes that's how you shift the burden of proof on your interlocutor. It's always your opponent that must catch up to whatever bullshit you claim about t...
no you wrote "neomac's false claim that there was some contiguous entity called 'The Russians' which deservedly had the hatred of...". I never made su...
You didn't quote me. Neither selectively nor entirely. Besides what is the partial quote I made of you that you find so problematic wrt what I claim a...
Then this claim of yours is a lie: neomac's false claim that there was some contiguous entity called 'The Russians' which deservedly had the hatred of...
So is racism plausible or not? Is this a factual claim or a prescription? I find seafood disgusting others don't. But I don't insult people for that n...
Quote the original claim of mine where I stated "there was some contiguous entity called 'The Russians' which deservedly had the hatred of...", you li...
There might be differences, yet I’m not sure if they are enough to support your claim. The expression “Putinism” would be more insightful if it referr...
But we can't exclude that either: Russian political analyst Dmitry Babich shed doubt on Dugin being the target, saying that Darya was “more popular th...
Never made such claim. You need to creatively rephrase my claims to make a point, otherwise you would quote me. I'm responsible for what I write not f...
They did. At least in Belarus and Russia. Belarus: Government authorities have repeatedly sought to silence Ales Bialiatski. He was imprisoned from 20...
Not sure what you mean by "ideological regime", but I might disagree on that one. Putin's speeches are replete of myth-building claims, philosophical ...
You could ask as ironically what the fact that Mahsa Amini was killed by the morality police for wearing hijab improperly has to do with morality. You...
Putin's expectations aside, I think the West has at least a couple of incentives to avoid to go nuclear in response to Putin's nuclear escalation anyw...
Dugan Dugin's imperialist world vision: “Through rebirth as an empire, as an Orthodox empire, Russia will set an example for other empires?—?the Chine...
Well maybe I wouldn’t call it “nationalism” for its political implication (often associated with a negative undertone), but how about “patriotism”? Pa...
Not sure if your distinction between ends and means wrt national identity is morally relevant. For example I see no mention of such distinction here: ...
How do you know that “in general” is neither? One could argue that humanitarian needs are best handled within established administrative units. Indeed...
I didn't ask "How does one assign moral weight? " I asked "How do you assign moral weight?". And the reason why I'm asking is because you claimed: How...
Sure. Add also the fear of losing the "alleged" status of great power. My point wasn't to deny we can figure out ways to disambiguate it, the point is...
Vagueness is key here. The term "existential threat" is not analytical but evocative and it echoes Putin's mantra that the West wants to destroy Russi...
You are confused. And probably you didn't follow the reasoning which you tried to address. One has to distinguish the evidence about threat perception...
Sure one can! Borders are matter of international recognition. And indeed: At first Crimean authorities attempted to claim that it was a sovereign Rep...
After the collapse of Soviet Union one could question that Chechnya was within Russian borders. The First Chechen War took place from 1994 to 1996, wh...
I mean: The Russian government began massive allocation of Russian passports to the residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia in 2002 without Georgia's ...
The pair have already outlined a potential deal to avert a crisis over Washington's planned missile defence system in Europe, involving a string of sa...
To that I already answered: “That’s why Russia and Putin were under NATO’s radar. By the end of 2008 Putin was already on the path of centralising pow...
