Do you have a non paywalled link?

If only

Americans see something American happening Americanly in America: what are we a bunch of ASIANS!!!

They probably mean that liberals (which they mix up with leftists) are self-conscious pushing conspiracy theories, but I’d argue that’s not true at all

Slenderman

Lmao you’re wrong and doubling down

I only brought up the USSR because you claimed that Russia was exporting far right ideology before the fall of the USSR.

Except they did collapse in 1989, remember?

Again, you were claiming MODERN Russia would collapse soon, I was pushing back against that because they have been saying that forever in media and so far it doesn’t seem to be happening.

Last thing, please don’t be so rude, I was trying not to insult or offend you.

The Clintons were friends with Trump (before he ran against them) and Epstein

Russia was literally the driver of far-right extremism before the fall of the Soviet Union

The USSR was one of the main reasons why Hitler didn’t win, what are you talking about lol

authentic political entity and news media on the planet.

What’s the bar for that? Authentic in what sense? And if you’re including the media that lied to our faces for the last few years on Palestine then I have to dispute their veracity.

Either way my point isn’t that you should like Russia or Putin or believe in something uncritically, my point was that western media has predicted Russian collapsing any minute now for years and it doesn’t seem to be the case, so some skepticism is warranted. As long as you’re aware of the biases of the media you consume you can at least understand it better, and this includes whatever media and personalities you find trustworthy.

You need to diversify your news consumption, you can dislike Russia and reactionary movements and simultaneously engage with reality

That’d destroy their image and make the people of Taiwan hate them for many generations when it’s much simpler to keep the status quo until the people of Taiwan want reunification.

Neoliberals who unconditionally support the Democrat establishment and blame the left for everything etc

Thank you for being so kind and receptive

I’m close friends with a woman with NPD and she’s nothing like that. Whether we’re born or conditioned to be narcissists the word is still heavily misused and I’m troubled by this kind of assertion because (again) they’re more likely to be victims than abusers.

No need to use medicalized language, you can say asshole. Lots of people are diagnosed as narcissists without doing or wanting to do any of the disgusting shit he did and does. We need to avoid stigmatizing people for their mental conditions, it’s the actions that count and plenty of people act monstrously because of systemic reasons rather than brain chemistry or whatever.

Be respectful and try to google shit before making claims and you’ll be fine. Most deleted comments I see when I check the modlog are people dehumanizing others or spreading anticommunist propaganda without even trying to source shit.

My bad it was the laundry I was doing

If we’re talking about the MIC, fraud

It’s about loot boxes and the like

Sure, but that’s not enough, there’s endless injustices built into the system that need to be in the spotlight just as much
