It's not. But when one does so in each and every post of his over 200+ pages, you start to wonder what got into them.

Okay, so I did not misrepresent your position. Thank you.
June 01, 2022 at 06:13
God. He wants a nuclear Armageddon.
June 01, 2022 at 06:10
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...

You stated: And yet, when offered by @"ssu" an opportunity to discuss just that, you were not interested: Your pants are on fire.
May 31, 2022 at 21:59
I believe so, yes. So I agree with you: we are all responsible for what we do, including the Russians.

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 ...

Own what you say. Don't run away like this.
May 31, 2022 at 16:34
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 ...
May 31, 2022 at 12:51
The western Putinistas are a small minority in most countries, tho a vocal one.
May 31, 2022 at 12:35
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...

Hatred would be a better word here. The Ukrainians and Russians used to be brothers; now they will positively hate one other for generations.
May 31, 2022 at 12:07
Your petty mind and your constant lies should really fuck off.
May 31, 2022 at 11:47
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...

@"Manuel"'s idea could be summarized as follows: IFF you are Russian, then you would have good moral grounds to criticize the Russia government, but u...

Street was a mod once? I hear he's considered very smart around here, which says a lot about this place.
May 31, 2022 at 08:56
It seems to me that this is how you think of it. I mentioned human rights, which can be unpleasant to protect, so in my view pleasantness is not a cri...

What other funny funny jokes could one make about war crimes? Any proposal? It's always good to start the day with maximum cynicism.
May 31, 2022 at 06:34
Sooo funny.
May 31, 2022 at 06:31
Better than you though.
May 31, 2022 at 06:30
I don't do war crime apologies, sorry.
May 31, 2022 at 06:27
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...
May 31, 2022 at 06:23
Nice example of the Putinistas' political philosophy: cynicism and nihilism.
May 31, 2022 at 06:18
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....

Show me one single post of yours discussing the possible consequences of this war on Ukraine.
May 30, 2022 at 20:07
Here is the background, and it's clearly about dictatorship vs democracy:
May 30, 2022 at 19:56
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...
May 30, 2022 at 19:34
I don't know whom you are talking about. Who are all these guys, and where are they discussing the impact on Ukraine, or the rest of the world?
May 30, 2022 at 16:58
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...
May 30, 2022 at 14:40
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...
May 30, 2022 at 13:57
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 ...
May 30, 2022 at 10:19
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...
May 30, 2022 at 09:48
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...
May 30, 2022 at 06:30
Personally, the general feeling of disgust I have for the Russian side has to see with war crimes being committed, not russophobia.
May 28, 2022 at 20:59
I appreciate the ideas but think it's just too late for the US to regulate gun purchase. There are too many weapons already out there in the hands of ...
May 28, 2022 at 07:28
Does that mean you support Mario Draghi's efforts?
May 27, 2022 at 13:08
To test your interest in a specific, actual diplomatic effort as opposed to theoretical gesticulations in favor of diplomacy in general.
May 27, 2022 at 09:34
Would you find it objectionable if Draghi (and/or others) would find a diplomatic way to get this wheat out of Odessa?
May 27, 2022 at 08:25
Translation: the world can die, as long as Putin is safe.

In your dreams. The point would obviously be to lower food prices and reduce suffering the world over. Your casual disregard of the poor is noted. As ...
May 27, 2022 at 06:48
It's precisely because I care for the truth that I am not interested in your numbered propaganda items.
May 26, 2022 at 21:27
I confirm I couldn't care less, then.
May 26, 2022 at 21:02
Do you reckon it may be possible to break the blockade?
May 26, 2022 at 20:57
So why would we be bothered with your long numbered lists of lies they could say?
May 26, 2022 at 20:55
They could say any number of lies.
