Do you believe history is the course of ideas and feelings, or material realities and conditions? Which is the primary mover?
History ended in the 90s for liberals like this fellow. It’s all vibes based international order now.
Yes, but hopefully calling into question the foundations of their logic will help.
Has any lost lib ever shown up here an actually made an argument? Y'all just show up and are like "wow you said a thing I disagree with so you must all be CRAZY!" and then complain that we're "uncivil" when we respond with
Nobody besides your government owes you an education, and even then they try not to. Thus, people like you.
Yes it's very clear the only education you've ever received is from your government.
Bullshit dude, bullshit. I once ate a tray of 24 assorted muffins: blueberry, lemon poppy-seed, cranberry apple, banana nut, even bran. Large muffins too, like you'd buy at the bakery, not grocery store mini-muffins. I ate the first five or six out of hunger, and the next dozen I can only attribute to gluttony, but the last half dozen were devoured by determination alone. A part of me wanted to stop— I was full, the muffins had become repulsive, and there was a disconcerting pressure in my chest. The other, stronger part of me knew that if I gave up on that muffin platter I would admit limitation. A limited man can rationalize his every weakness, turn away from every challenge, live his life within the narrow confines of comfort; that's not how I live my life. But I digress. It took six days for my bowels to move, and when they did I shat a monolithic muffin block so wide it could not be flushed, so dense it would not dissolve with repeated flushing, and so heavy it took two hands to lift. The measure of anxiety, pain, pride and love is indescribable, so don't tell me I don't understand childbirth.
No argument? I'm going to vote for Trump now until you give us an answer
What's the point of just insulting, rather than actually addressing claims? Nobody here seems to agree with you, do you just get personal satisfaction?
Why not actually address the points?
You could have attempted to contradict any one of the seven main points he brings up in the beginning if you wanted to be taken seriously. Hitting your keyboard while shouting "moron" is not a compelling argument.
don't know why but I felt like pulling out the bolded headers of each of the seven points
FIRST, there is simply no evidence from before 24 February 2022 that Putin wanted to conquer Ukraine and incorporate it into Russia. Proponents of the conventional wisdom cannot point to anything Putin wrote or said that indicates he was bent on conquering Ukraine.
SECOND, there is no evidence that Putin was preparing a puppet government for Ukraine, cultivating pro-Russian leaders in Kyiv, or pursuing any political measures that would make it possible to occupy the entire country and eventually integrate it into Russia.
THIRD, Putin did not have anywhere near enough troops to conquer Ukraine.
FOURTH, in the months before the war started, Putin tried to find a diplomatic solution to the brewing crisis.
FIFTH, immediately after the war began, Russia reached out to Ukraine to start negotiations to end the war and work out a modus vivendi between the two countries.
SIXTH, putting Ukraine aside, there is not a scintilla of evidence that Putin was contemplating conquering any other countries in eastern Europe.
SEVENTH, hardly anyone in the West argued that Putin had imperial ambitions from the time he took the reins of power in 2000 until the Ukraine crisis started on 22 February 2014. At that point, he suddenly became an imperial aggressor. Why? Because Western leaders needed a reason to blame him for causing the crisis.
How do people like this even get out of bed in the morning knowing that they're just going to be a god damned moron all day long?
