Well written. Funnily enough, for some reason I mistakenly read the title and assumed you were arguing that Nietzsche was misogynist. I had that "Oh b...
Because one is committing globally acknowledged crimes against humanity, and has been for some 70 years, and the other is not. Morally equating the tw...
I simply cannot take you seriously if you consider the Ukraine conflict and Israel-Palestine conflict in the same moral ballpark. I don't even believe...
The Ukraine conflict is not comparable to the Israel-Palestine conflict. Ukraine is much more morally grey. In the case of Israel-Palestine, it is not...
Apologists for a genocidal government ran by a wanted war criminal 'revealing' the intellectual bankruptcy of others... I would laugh if it weren't so...
Ah yes, that beautiful realm of cognitive dissonance where Russia is militarily inept, on it's last legs, and simultaneously an existential threat to ...
By the way, all of the sidelining of the Europeans and the Ukrainians seems to tell us a thing or two about who was right about whether or not to assi...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RNE3X41IvM Jeffrey Sachs bringing to European ears something which, apparently, is not common knowledge here. This ma...
Governments have proved themselves pretty much categorically incapable of being arbiters of what is true and what is false, and in fact conduct propag...
It's quite unclear to me what points of mine you are responding to. Rather, it seems like you've picked snippets of things I've said, removed the cont...
It's a bit rich coming from the Washington elite. But Trump is just a temporary phenomenon, and he is exactly what the Washington elite need to justif...
If I am correct that Washington is assuming Europe will slip its grasp, you understand that Washington will have a vested interest in using whatever i...
Is that not exactly what they are doing? They've all but said that the Russians were right all along, while pinning the principal blame on Ukraine. I ...
About half a year ago I remarked the following: And what do we see? The US is extricating itself from the Ukraine debacle, while Washington sycophants...

I'm not the one suggesting we stop the peace talks because 'Putin is like Hitler, and peace is appeasement'. Pointing out your hypocrisy isn't an ad h...
This argument makes no sense. If Putin has designs on all of Europe, but after a 5th of Ukraine Russia is already on its last legs, then what are we w...
Ukraine, the state, was made aware of what would be the consequences of its choices from 2008 onward. It's not strictly a victim in this at all. Of co...
So you're against peace. After all, peace is appeasement, and Putin is Hitler. What do you suggest? Letting the Ukrainians fight and die until they ar...
I guess we won't be agreeing on much then. One thing I would point out though, is that of course independent media has existed for a while, but the pr...
Weren't you a few comments ago implying peace is appeasement and Putin is Hitler? I get that you're being painfully confronted with the shallowness of...
And an additional question to all those arguing that peace is unacceptable: how many of your sons and daughters have you sent to Ukraine in order to s...
It's obviously you who is not being reasonable if you expect me to be satisfied with what little you have produced thus far. Produce something better,...
I think you are underestimating the role of our own governments in this. The reason 'disinformation' has become a problem now, is because the (near-)m...
After the US neocon establishment got dealt a heavy blow, the equally abject European establishment is next in line. This is a good thing - the excisi...
Walking back statements is indicative of the type of diplomatic tightrope the Trump administration is walking, but the fact that they're walking it at...
I'm not trying to morally justify Russia's actions. Boiling it down to 'aggression was rewarded' seems to miss the fact that there was a lengthy geopo...
I don't think aggression is the proper term for it. The Russians initiated the use of military force, but there had been a conflict brewing for a long...
I think it's quite the opposite. The Americans making a mea culpa over the Ukraine debacle is a precondition to return to stability in Eastern Europe,...
It's almost as though the Americans are doing that thing they always do. Whoever saw that coming? Should I rename myself to Nostradamus? So many quest...
Why haven't you and all the others made such a thread? Surely if you care this much about Trump and whatever bullshit lawsuit they managed to land, th...
I'm not really trying to insult anyone. It's just getting embarassing. "My man" Viktor Orban? Did I miss something or are you just exhibiting the same...
How is the endless list of grave moral transgressions of the US not relevant in a thread which consists almost exclusively of whinging about the moral...
Of all the fucked up things the US government gets up to, which the American people blatantly ignore, up to and including genocide (Vietnam, Cambodia,...
How did American politics get so dumb? Let me present you with a small exercise: Vietnam American people: :rage: Cambodia American people: :yawn: East...
