I can change the wording of my original post if need be if it’s going to be used as an education tool… As long as I get concensus to do so

Just saw this comment. Yes it was silly, and in no way meant to be taken literal. Looking at the history of those states that were under the USSR, putin is trying to keep control of them

You could just talk to me directly, but fine. I’ll delete the post

Agreed. I tried to make due, but I won’t hold it against the mods if this gets deleted. Just needed to get it out

I see it as the neonazi movement in the US in late 90s and early 2000s. They want to be edgy, but don’t have a significant structure to actually do anything important. Around 2006 I ended up stealing a knife from a neonazi that came in to the restaurant that I worked at. It was a Mexican restaurant btw lol

Insane!? You’re talking about Insane right?

Putin just needs to stop with the fake elections.

I personally feel like you guys are on the same side, so please don’t argue

Edit: my bad. I was wrong. The other person got upset because I thought you two were under agreement. They’re gone from my post now 😁

Not to be a dick, but it seems like you guys are on the same side, so why are you arguing?

My friend, I don’t give a shit

Well thank you letting me live rent free in your head. You wasted your mental energy by coming here and saying that. And you have proved nothing besides exactly what I said. You didn’t come here to get an understanding of me, you came here to try and call me out.

So do you feel better about yourself? You holding your head up higher now?

It seems to me you’re under the belief that they can say and believe whatever they want without criticism, and they shouldn’t be allowed to be criticized. Also, I see you have used the phrase “neolib,” so your beliefs are probably more in line with theirs than mine are. Of course, you’re not going to be criticized. However, I do have the right to critique the approach with their criticism. The short-and-skinny of what I observed is that they can dish it out, but can’t take it. It’s irrational and a very closed off way if thinking. If they want to be talked to and about in a certain way, then they themselves need to do the same

Not wrong, but a few bad apples can ruin the whole bunch

I am already aware of the CIA’s fuckery. It’s no different than what the KGB was. They claim(ed) counter intelligence, but ultimately, their job is/was to destabilize to create political advantage. Career liars every last one of them

Who said stupid?

Edit: I changed it because it was me assuming. I don’t want anyone to feel stupid. If someone called you stupid in my post, point them out and I’ll take care of it (at least in my post)

That’s cool, bud. And I’m doing my best to not criticize the individual person, but there are a few people that make souring the reputation of all on HB

Agreed

First, I see you disagree, and thank you for expressing your disagreement in a respectful way.

Now, with that being said, what evidence do you have that your media is no different?

And please understand I’m not being sarcastic or playing a game. I am legitimately curious of your perspective. I really wish to understand your perspective. If any other person tries to treat you like crap, I’ll do my best to keep them from being shitty to you. Please feel free to explain your ideology in a respectful way and I will do my best to protect you from ridicule as well

Edit: also if I misunderstood what you’re saying, please say so and I’ll correct myself

But in their eyes, I’m the crazy, illiterate, stupid lib

That’s ok. Instead of having a normal dialog or civil disagreement, they want to be cowards and try to bully or demean people that disagree with them. Those people that do that are honestly sad and I pity them
