For those not deluded by economists’ models and the “It’s a problem but nothing to panic about” attitude of the intellectual giants we find on Interne...
No kidding. Not once did I suggest we remain complacent. That's what's needed, and there's plenty we can do to bring it about. The censorship issue is...
He's still censoring just as much as before, it's just getting more publicity because he's allowing Trump and Kenya back on and liberals don't like it...
Ignorance has been around forever, including in the internet age. I remember plenty of ignorance on AOL message boards, blogs, and various websites. T...
Trump should he serving time already for his uncountable crimes. Imagine looking at this guy and thinking he’s an honest man, a victim of persecution....
Let's do it. I put my money on Trump. I bet you $1. He's already got a cult following, and he'll embarrass DeSantis just as he did Ted Cruz and Marco ...
Their positions are so unpopular that they have to do something. They know they're a minority party. You have to hand it to them though, it's always v...
Yes. Very happy to see Lake lose. Even though this bucked the trend for midterms, it’s still depressing that so many were so close, and the Republican...
So far this hasn’t been the case. He’s been much more subtle about it than Trump. He’s not conceded, but not yelled about fraud (yet). He’s also not t...
Yes, and Bolsonaro is the most authoritarian leader Brazil has had in decades, looking back fondly as he does of the military dictatorship — not to me...
A coup is unlikely. I’m guessing he’ll simply do what Trump did: scream fraud with zero evidence and energize his base, so that perhaps they do the di...
Climate denial takes many forms. But who are you and why are you commenting on something written a year ago? Very strange. What a bizarre thing to say...
October 30th— tomorrow — will largely determine the fate of life as we know it. Why? Because the Brazilian people vote for a president tomorrow, and t...
Regarding the antinatalism claims: This was yet another antinatalist argument dressed up in different clothes from someone who posts almost nothing ex...
No. Whatever it is that’s convinced you of it prior to the NATO summit. I’m not interested in surmise and gut feelings. Prior to 2008? Who? Which they...
If there were both statements and actions that demonstrate it. There were neither before the 2008 summit -- which is why "imperialist ambitions" weren...
What doesn't help? "imperialist bent" is meaningless. I said "an imperialist bent on expanding...". So do you mean, "What is an imperialist?" I think ...
"The benefits of NATO membership include more than just security benefits and collective defense but also disaster relief, humanitarian aid, and scien...
There are all kinds of reasons for joining NATO. An imperialist threat from Russia was not one of them in 2008. Which is why you cannot provide one re...
Exactly. Likewise for US/NATO-Ukraine/Georgia in 2008. The reasons for membership were not some imperialist threat from Russia. No one made that claim...
The US and NATO are primarily responsible for escalating this war, yes. Ultimately the decision was Putin's, and so I blame him for the war. Person A ...
It would help if you quoted the entirety of my response: There is no evidence that the was an imperialist bent on expanding Russia. The answer given i...
I really don't know what the second sentence means. Who is the "instigator," and who does "them" refer to? And I suppose this reaction to China's invo...

“Only”? I blame Putin for the war. NATO was a reason given for invasion — one that was given for years, clearly and consistently. The conclusion? That...
That was suggested by Olivier, and I stated that it may very well be correct. Whatever works. Negotiations should be supported as strongly as we’re su...
No. I never said the US or NATO should be blamed for the war. Putin is to blame for the war. Why? Because it was his decision to invade Ukraine. I thi...
I understand it’s tiresome if you’ve been through this with several other people on this thread. But if you’re not interested in discussion — again, I...
Only that it's important to understand why something is happening. I was hoping not to get into history, but it was raised and so I continued with it....
