Thank you for your effort to prove my point about having nothing new to say, much appreciated.
No one here is going to have anything new to say about this war. Are you going to pretend to have an actual original thought? I'd love to hear it then.
It has long been clear that the majority here doesn't care about what I have to say, so I'm not going to waste my time unless someone asks me an actual question. I posted the gist of my position before. As I said to MSB before, if you want me to explain something, just ask.
Quote:Your ridiculous insinuation, which is a very deceptive misrepresentation of what I said, reveals more about you than it does about me. It would appear that, in your mind, anything that doesn't come from an EU statist bootlicker is Russian state media? That would literally be an implicit part of any logical process that concludes my statement was anywhere close to your ridiculous suggestion.
You frequently use these deceptive rhetorical devices. It's indicative of low character. The alternative is that you're ignorant of what it is you're doing and how wildly illogical your conclusion was. If you do know exactly what it is you're doing... you should just stop. While it may feel good in the moment to engage in histrionics, it's off-putting to others and isn't a healthy way for you to get attention.
Posts like this don't trigger any sort of emotion for me and I won't be baited into engaging with this irrelevant tangent of your OP topic. I will point out deceptive behavior when I see it though and I can elaborate more on the kinds of people that are routine users of those tactics.
Speaking purely as a moderator:
If you make a habit of posting meaningless, deceptive, and/or low effort drivel like this to bait people or be disruptive, I will eventually consider it spam and treat it accordingly. This just isn't a meaningful post, is very deceptive, and relies entirely on an emotional response to your accusation. If you don't understand why deception is wrong then you need lots of further nannying that I'm not going to give you. It's rather ironic that I need to say any of this in a thread where you're trying to establish the moral superiority of your political beliefs, is it not?
It was a genuine question. Let me explain. You wrote
Quote:I determined a couple years ago that there's not a single meaningful thing a statist EU bootlicker on the Internet has to say about Ukraine and Russia that wasn't already said within the first week of the invasion. It's just a been a stream of blind hatred for anyone that disagrees with their imaginary invasion of western Europe bullshit or brings up the CIA coup and years of Zelenskyy bombing his own citizens.
The person who disagreed with me in this thread is the one who brought up Russian state media as their source, and then went on to justify his reliance on Russian state media as the source for learning about the war. By suggesting that my rejection of their sources is just "blind hatred" and therefore not reasonable, you were implicitly (rather, I inferred it) rejecting my position that relying solely on Russian state media is bad. See how I got there?
I know it's all suggestion and inference, that's why I asked you a question to clarify. Apparently, you don't think it's reasonable to rely solely on Russian state media. Great, we agree. I guess you weren't talking about me, then, when you made your point about "statist EU bootlickers" and their "stream of blind hatred for anyone that disagrees with [...]".
If you were talking about me, and your judgment of my character isn't based on the disagreement between me and NobodySpecial, then what is it based on? Where is this "blind hatred for anyone that disagrees", not relating to NobodySpecial? Where have I expressed it?
Not only have your posts been nothing but personal attacks, you even played your moderator card. Another pathetic display. If anyone is showing "blind hatred" here, it's you.
