None of us are surprised at your open support of a murderous tyrant like Putin. And we're equally not surprised that you know nothing about fairness, or Fascists or democrats or history and that you just a stinky little anarchist and troll.

Would be interested to know where he is from. From his sentence structure and unfamiliarity with the spelling of certain words he is seemingly not from the USA. No one in the USA would spell it "cool aid".
What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence. -Christopher Hitchens
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts
"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.
If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?
He claims he's posting with his phone so that might be part of his issues.

quote:People here feel that 10% of Republicans holding a favorable view of Putin is just too much to stomach
They do? It isn’t good when Putin is a murdering fascist tyrant. But I haven’t seen anyone complaining about that. The influential voices speaking in favour of Putin is a bigger problem.
quote:EvC has a mass of posters that have a fascist mindset, granted - but, even this lot clearly suffer from only hearing the imperalistic, expansionist, militaristic, "western" side in the debate.
The “imperialist, expansionist, militaristic” force in this discussion would be the Russians. And your projection is noted.
quote:The country will buy the b.s. Democrats will swallow the imperalistic cool-aid, and feel that it is "too Republican" to try to learn about the various sides in the (POTENTIAL) "debate", so Democratic views will start to mirror the anti-Russian views of Republicans.
I would think that the fact that Russia is an imperialistic expansionist power that has launched a war against a peaceful neighbour has rather a lot to do with any negative impressions.
quote:John McCain & Mitt Romney (and Hillary,too!) were defeated by a war-weary electorate, that seemed to be growing in suspicion when it came to nationalism, imperialism & propaganda.
Your list of hate figures is very telling,
quote:But, there seems to be a reconstitution at work. Masterful never-ending propaganda has managed to brainwashed EVEN IN THE INTERNET AGE.
And it sucks.
There is plenty of Russian propaganda out there.
quote:*Can we please have a revamped *fairness doctrine, with fully updated rules governing search engines, social media, etc. My revamped Fairness Doctrine would be based around ADDING INFORMATION, not censorship. Make people's world smarter, not smaller!
So you want more Russian propaganda, Covid disinformation, conspiracy theories etc. etc. Oh and all the bogus claims about how Trump won the 2020 election, of course.

"Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed. Faith is the denial of observation so that Belief can be preserved." - Tim Minchin, in his beat poem, Storm.
Yep. They (and to be honest, half or more of the world's leaders) are at a point where their level of privilege and power has removed them from the world of decency, compassion and sanity.
They are prepared to consider wiping out billions of fellow human beings in a nuclear holocaust, as long as they get to survive in a sparkly nuclear bunker, with enough luxuries, lapdogs and concubines to keep them happy until they die.
Saddest fact of all is that so many ordinary people are prepared to swallow their lies and vote them in to power. "Don't trust democracy, with all of its kindness, equality and attemps to save the planet - vote for autocracy instead, and we'll let you piss on some minorities (as long as we get to piss on you, of course)."
Could there be any greater conceit, than for someone to believe that the universe has to be simple enough for them to be able to understand it ?
Essentially the Russian paratroopers - although they’re an elite unit - rely on fear rather than fighting capability. Against solid resistance they are not very effective. We know that they haven’t been successful in Ukraine.
Also, Russian logistics are terrible. The reason they have a massive convoy sitting in the road to Kyiv is that they don’t have the supplies to get it there. Long may that situation continue!
Though I had not read much of Robert Reich, I was intrigued due to the fact that his information challenged so much of my own. Here is more by him:
"A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes." ~Mark Twain " *** “…far from science having buried God, not only do the results of science point towards his existence, but the scientific enterprise itself is validated by his existence.”- Dr.John Lennox
“A God without wrath brought men without sin into a Kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a Cross.” H. Richard Niebuhr, The Kingdom of God in America
“The most difficult subjects can be explained to the most slow-witted man if he has not formed any idea of them already; but the simplest thing cannot be made clear to the most intelligent man if he is firmly persuaded that he knows already, without a shadow of a doubt, what is laid before him.” — Leo Tolstoy, The Kingdom of God is Within You (1894).
It is what I call the right-wing pecking order vision of society. They know that a fair number of people will support them if they are convinced that no matter how low they are in the order or how bad their life is, there is someone lower on the pecking order than they are.

Are wing nuts that ignorant of things like the fairness doctrine? I still think this troll may not be from US.
Well, he is completely fucking nuts too, to put it politely.
