quote: Oh, and because it bears repeating, you tried to claim that the 1939 Soviet invasion of Finland was justified because a neo-Nazi wrestler came from Finland to the US in 1993. To any sane person THAT would be a joke of an argument.

Im curious where you were born, L.N.A. You seem particularly sensitive to emerging and minority cultures (which is good) and also seem prejudiced against the beneficiaries of white privilege (which stirs a lot of stuff up).
Can't we just all get along? And by the way, if you choose to discuss this stuff publically, you can hardly be called a troll. Everyone seems to think you are just learning U.S. slanguage. I remember I used to get mad at you for constant cut & pastes and copypasta, but you have improved over the years. And despite what the peanut gallery thinks, I don't picture you as a caucasian. Personally, it matters little to me, but would start a discussion on your personal experiences in life and how you came to despise "white" people in general. (Was it the arrogance or was it the discrimination which you yourself may have experienced?) I agree with the EvC bunch about Putin's actions, but I think that Putin sees the future better than the clowns at the Federal Reserve and global finance in general. They are not that bright. Were I to go out on a limb, I would guess that you originally came from a country that was at one time colonized. I see you as more to the Left than to the Right, if these terms have any universal meaning. I see you as wanting the 3rd world people to get a break. Even at my and others expense. But I'll get along with you.

He is a white imperialist. His arguments are classic reactionary when it comes to third world nations and minority groups.
This is exposed by his claim that non-white and minority groups are monolithic in their views, ideas, and aspirations. As a Boricua(US citizen of Puerto Rican ancestry) I can tell you that minorities are just like all other groups. There is a wide range of political and social positions. To make the claim that all people of any group feel a certain way is the height of racism. In the Hispanic (especially Puerto Rican) world we have friends and family that run the full gamut of color and opinion. In South Africa, I know women that were on the front lines fighting apartheid(at least one is enshrined in a photo at the Apartheid Museum of a group of protestors). I know people in the next couple of generations that are much more closely aligned with the western democracies and feel they were used as much by the Soviets as they were by the west. In their view, the west has a lot more to offer. LNA is simply a troll and/or a reactionary harkening for the glory days(which never existed) of the USSR. Wishing for the return of the Comintern. 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?

Seems like Tankies are not much different from MAGAts.

There’s not a lot of space between them. And LNA seems closer than most - note how he often attacks Republican politicians seen as being disloyal to Trump. Big, big clue to his sympathies.

You ignore the democratically-elected majority view (see the ANC) which reflects black South Africans.
South African whites are the ones with YOUR views. They are half as removed from forced-segregation as Mississippi whites are. You ignore the views of minorities, because you feel "white is right", or at least "white is might". You ignore them "because you can". You agree with the white imperalistic order.

And I never said minority groups were not packed with members who held conservative views on a ton of issues.
(Not that I see this as some American "conservative" verses "liberal" issue, as it is a distraction) I never said that there was some universal enlightenment, with some people. I know that your imperialistic white policies are generally disliked in Africa. Edited by LamarkNewAge, : No reason given.

The more salient point (Theodoric is an offensive liar, to start with, but lets look at salience) is that the ANC had the courage to represent the black majority constituency, due to its legendary moral high ground - recognized globally (though to the consternation of white imperialists).
The Western powers are trying to find a way to punish South Africa into submission. See: Bloomberg - Are you a robot? March 4, 2022 US backs EU Pressure on South Africa to Take...

Theodoric is all giddy about the Democratic Alliance party, which has severely attacked the ANC position on the Ukraine issue.
The Democratic Alliance is a majority white political party that got 20% of the vote in the 2019 South African national election. The ANC got 55%. The Democratic Alliance is a "right wing" openly pro colonialism party. Theodoric swallows the white imperalistic propaganda whole. Notice how he smears black South Africans. So do DA members of parliament. The UN resolution was an illegitimate vote, because the worldwide non-white community had a white-imperialistic bullet held to its head. South Africa is a profile in courage and a testament to the power of intelligent,independent thought. South Africa is a beacon to human rights and human consciousness.

Don't expect anything coherent from LNA. He's a little shit-for-brains Commie MAGA who supports and advocates for the murders of Ukrainian women and children by Putin and Russia.

If you can not link to your sources don't bother.
I am not going to waste my time researching for your sources. As I say all the time.What can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence.
