false dichotomy Canada doesn't need to be one country to prevent war the federal government is useless

I don't want it protected I want it to collapse down with Confederation

in 1914, Russia mobilized for war on behalf of Serbia which made war between them and Austria-Hungary inevitable which drags Germany in to defend Austria-Hungary and France in to defend Russia Germany decides to get a jump on France coming in by going after them pre-emptively but goes through Belgium to do it who Britain enters the war to defend

Russia mobilized for war

Finland and Sweden are joining NATO they will be accepted

fake news all was not well some people just thought it was they were wrong

socialism lives the Soviet Union fell

the Berlin Wall came down the Soviet Union fell the relationship is not worse than it's ever been

the idea that only people who live in a country can know what it's like might be the dumbest argument I've heard in quite some time

I am trying to tell you know sweet dyk all and project that ignorance unto others to justify your clear lack of knowledge pretending that only a typical lefty liberal would disagree with you when simply anyone with a brain would

you do it repeatedly any time anyone says anything negative about Russia you just assume they don't know what they are talking about and are brainwashed by propaganda when many people who say negative things about Russia are plenty educated on the matter if all you were doing is pointing out people who base their beliefs on one sided propaganda then I wouldn't take issue but you also call out people for believing in one sided propaganda who clearly don't while clearly believing in one sided propaganda yourself if you want to point fingers, point them at yourself instead of acting holier than thou and pointing them at people far less guilty of the crime you are accusing them of than you are

obviously August1991 buys into anti-communist identity politics where he feels he has to defend even America's greatest mistakes in the Cold War as necessary sacrifices that were responsible for its victory just as you buy into anti-globalist identity politics and feel you have to defend even Russia's biggest mistakes while calling out the globalist elites for all of theirs if anyone calls either of you out on that you'll just claim a false dichotomy that puts anyone who disagrees with you on the other team you are so intent on virtue signalling your opposition of so you can write off their opinions without thinking for example I both hate communists and globalist elites but since I don't defend all the stupidest talking points that attack those groups those who are radical tribalist identity politics people use with us or against us purity spiral bullshit to portray me as the enemy too these are classical examples of the pitfalls of reactionary thinking and the pitfalls of basing your identity on it

plenty of people outside Russia can know it's not some big secret you just want to make it seem impossible to know so you can dismiss any source that points out how bad it is as simply anti-Russian propaganda you'll defend Russia from any attacks against it simply because some people you don't like also attack Russia and you want to virtue signal how much you oppose those people even if it means defending one of the last countries deserving of that defense the enemy of the enemy is not your friend and by treating them like it is, you discredit yourself

more people are leaving Russia than want to join it try and make sense of that tidbit with the idiotic theory that Russia ain't so bad

I was agreeing with you you really are dense

one election cannot ruin America it is far too resilient for that to happen

more projection physician heal thyself

projection is a helluva drug

I am the educated you are the other one

you only mention the bad Russia does as a token throwaway line to gloss over being called out on bias in their favor and even then, you barely mention it, and only mention it in a long diatribe about Russia's enemies being bad otherwise you never bring it up, ever you spend the vast majority of your time talking about the bad everyone else did, ad nauseum and downplaying the bad things about Russia everyone else mentions you aren't fooling anyone with half a brain obvious Russian hack is obvious your neutral unbiased observer routine is a transparent joke

see you say one tiny little thing about Russia then go on and on about the EU, NATO and America because clearly you have a pro-Russian bias and think all other parties are more to blame than they are or you would have said a lot more bad things about Russia or you would have said a lot less bad things about everyone who opposes Russia you're the reactionary simpleton who sides with Russia because people he doesn't like side against them doesn't get anymore reactionary than that

because any time someone rightfully calls Russia out you deflect and defend them while blaming everyone under the sun but them that's why you want to change that perception stop constantly going to bat for them when they are attacked with Russian propaganda talking points and try actually calling them out every now and then instead of playing contrarian you are treating Russia with kid gloves and going out of your way to point fingers elsewhere going on and on in post after post about the shortcomings of everyone but Russia while writing everyone off who attacks them for good reason as "libbies" you can't effectively feign neutrality while doing that obvious pro-Russian hack is obvious

pretty much

not a Libbie if you're intelligent enough to know Russia deserves plenty of blame then why be stupid and defend them just because the Libbies attack them? that just discredits your argument and plays into the Libbies hands good job

nah I just don't engage in silly false equivalencies I blame who is actually to blame instead of letting Russia off the hook to emphasize the mistakes of others as if pointing fingers elsewhere is more relevant than pointing them at Russia you are what is commonly known as a "moral relativist"
