And again. If you set up some bizarre moral framework, you'll reach bizarre results. Why is this still of any interest to you? Are you seeing if you r...
It's exactly the 'additional' element about which the entire disagreement here revolves. As I said above, there are two options - one is to end hostil...
It's not about coincidental schadenfreude though, it's about the active encouragement with schadenfreude as a goal. The difference (in your analogy) i...
No. We all hope they win. You additionally hope they 'teach Russia a lesson'. I don't give a fuck about teaching Russia a lesson because doing so at t...
I'm not quite sure what you're trying to say here (I rarely am with your posts, I have to say). The Russians are the invading party, yes. I think we'r...
I can't for the life of me think why. I don't see how the two things are in the least bit related. If some government went barmy and demanded somethin...
Seriously guys, I don't see any need to keep dragging the moderators into this brawl. You both know full well your own posts have been no less viscous...
And so we should. Meanwhile, let's ban guns right now everywhere whilst we work that out. The former task should be easier and provide immediate safet...
Scarily similar to some of the early anti-Semitism in 30s Europe though, much of the writing at the time talked about the culture of Jewry rather than...
Yes, maybe I am. Maybe I'm not. That's the whole point I've been trying to get across in practically every comment I've made on this thread. We don't ...
Well, no. Seeing as they're being uncovered by the very parties in whose interest it is to exaggerate to maximum effect, as I said. If you're under th...
No. Of course it's not because they're Russian. It's just that... ...which we can all see is totally different from saying that it's because they're R...
And to whose thinking would that be relevant? Since the quote you responded to was... To which my parody of your response was entirely apt. The questi...
You do realise I've just been randomly cutting and pasting sections from the relevant Wikipedia articles? I'm not even paying any attention to what's ...
Yeah but The Russia–NATO Council was established in 2002 for handling security issues and joint projects. The idea of Russia becoming a NATO member ha...
Right. Look at the article in question. https://labourheartlands.com/jacques-baud-the-military-situation-in-the-ukraine-update/#The_Military_Situation...
Yes, but The USSR, fearing the restoration of German militarism in West Germany, had suggested in 1954 that it join NATO, but this was rejected by the...
It's not funny. You've just publicly claimed that the reasons Africans migrate to Europe, the reasons Africa is a worse place to live than Europe, are...
No one is in any doubt about your apologism, so repeating it doesn't get us anywhere. I was just being 'revolutionary' in showing it to be the bullshi...
I thought there might be a lower limit to how far you'd be prepared to sink in your Western apologetics, but "the slave trade wasn't that bad" is a ne...
Yes, but The history of slavery spans many cultures, nationalities, and religions from ancient times to the present day. Likewise, its victims have co...
Yes, but the Warsaw Pact (WP), was a collective defense treaty signed in Warsaw, Poland, between the Soviet Union and seven other Eastern Bloc sociali...
So on what grounds are you even taking part in a thread on Ukraine? The article was about Finland and Sweden. You're from Finland are Christoffer is f...
Pathetic attempt at deflection. The issue is that support for NATO membership is being driven by industries who stand to benefit from it. Which is why...
Oh and... The mainstream media are literally inviting arms dealers on to give commentary on how the war is going. Newspapers are actually contradictin...
And your agenda? Pointing out the omissions in a left-wing, anti-NATO article...? Do we see the same eagle-eyed hunt for bias in the more centrist, ma...
Yeah, and that's actual papers with method statements and statistical analysis. Once you get into the field of 'expert opinion', you're pretty much ju...
Comments would be an improvement, in my opinion. I might disagree with you most of the time, but at least I can ask you why you think what you think. ...
Weird. Useful to whom? Do you think we're not aware that foreign newspapers exist? I realise I might be the one in the minority here, but I just don't...
Yes, as a statement of fact, I do. I have absolutely no reason to believe you. It just sounds like "Oh and my sources are the best, if you don't agree...
So 'no' to the trying then? No, because reciting the mainstream is lazy, and careless when mainstream narratives work to immiserate people. Again, I'm...
Not much in the habit of writing post that aren't responses to anything (doubting anyone will read them), but this shining example of narrative alteri...
Just try, try really hard, to see that this is a subjective judgement of yours, not a fact about the world. If seeing that is too hard, then just imag...
Classic. You don't disappoint. Tell me again how your posts are just sooo well formulated that anyone disagreeing with them simply must be trolling......
They're neither obliged to deny it, nor blind to it. They voluntarily deny it's relevance as part of their theory. It a decision made using that judge...
Yep. The apparent circularity of which you've just shown to be unproblematic by your doing exactly that from your armchair. So the question remains. I...
You said it right here... As to... I agree. Since when has scientific inquiry proceeded only on the ground that such an inquiry was 'required'? I don'...
No, the point was that you claimed judgement about 'judgement' was begging the question, then perfomatively contradicted yourself by making judgements...
What worries me is whether this tactic - so successful in the mainstream media - will be extended. How soon until we start to hear the same line being...
And yet you've just waffled on for half a page 'explaining' to us exactly the sort of thing 'judgement' is... ...all statements about the nature of ju...
The fact that you're to egotistical to tell the difference between a judgement of yours and a fact is not itself an argument for engaging in abusive l...
