The idea that there’s a war against Russia in another country that they invaded tells me all I need to know about how they write.
- dredmorbius 3y agoI'm not sympathetic to the view. Thought I'd at least let it see daylight, however. Which is often a strong disinfectant.
- azinman2 3y agoWhat are you disinfecting with a trash write up though?
- dredmorbius 3y agoI'm the submitter of the NY Times piece here. The WSWS link was submitted by a banned account (I have "showdead" enabled so I see such comments). In the interests of fairness and to remove the claim that that viewpoint is being suppressed, I provided it myself in my own comment. I'm going to suggest that the HN readership should be sufficiently literate to compare the two pieces, the narratives, facts, and shadings presented, and if it chooses to do so, assess and/or identify slants, defects, or strengths of each piece. Which might be more productive than attacking someone who's already said that they don't endorse the piece.
- everybodyknows 3y agoTrash writeups are the norm nowadays. Any effective knowledge acquisition now therefore depends upon finely-tuned comparative analysis of the opposed, competing trash streams.
