That's not a scoop though: we all know you are clueless already. You wouldn't even know how assess your sources. Fact: you have not talked at all abou...
I said: either illegal (if one lives in Russia) or convenient moralizing (if one lives outside of it). In an "either / or" sentence the two things aft...
I am beyond my expertise level, but let me try an experiment here. Considering the lack of credible arguments proposed lately by our dear friends the ...
This is the passage I summarized by stating that: to criticize the Russian government is either illegal (if you live in Russia) or immoral (if you liv...
I think Biden is doing what he can. He needs to avoid escalation. Dombass is collapsing as we speak, and retaking it will be very difficult according ...
I don't know. Here in Italy, pro-russian feelings are stronger than elsewhere in the West -- this country has always been a reluctant atlantist, like ...
Yes, seen that. It's often an ultra violent environment, apparently. So no wonder they kill people for fun, if that how they themselves are treated by...
About the edges. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0LpdEyGhNxM Well they're still racing out at the trestles But that blood it never burned in her veins N...
Congratulations to @"Tobias" for the Brel song, and for making the first philosophical comment on this thread for a long time. Also for @"180 Proof" f...
The reference to la lingua di Dante is much appreciated. :-) Campanile (it) = clocher (fr) = church tower (en). Campanilismo = esprit de clocher = par...

I feel sorry for you too. It must be sad to be you. It's already depressing to have you around. Of course war is a crime. But who started this war? Yo...
So Hitler and Stalin were in the right, and the Red Cross are fools. Good to know. We do have the option of protesting against the Russian government....
I would add a number of unalienable rights to the list, such as the right of thinking and saying more or less what you want to, the right to private p...
I have lived and worked in many places, in Africa and Asia, including countries where the state jails or kills folks for their ideas, with total impun...
To what extent is this judgement based on your own personal experience with different modes or types of governments? Because this strikes me as someth...
I am prepared to back it up, if challenged. As for comparisons, those are rarely about Ukraine. They are usually about how equally destructive the US ...
I am not saying that democracies are always right or that they occupy any moral high ground by virtue of being democracies. Some of them are also dysf...
I am not interested in your war crime apologies. If philosophy has led you there, in this moral cloaca where you cannot even distinguish between an ag...
