> If 1 good thing will come out of this russian war is the firm realization globally that russia is a solid dictatorship still/again actively opposing democracy anywhere in the world... "Realization" implies truth. I bet you couldn't even try to prove your theory. > ...not a country of 150 millions of which many are barely literate and fed propaganda every day. Pot, meet kettle.

  Flamebait I have no issue with (the "fact of the matter" as it is aspect of it; that mildly strict epistemology is necessarily flamebait on a forum of this (alleged) caliber, on subjects involving literal life and death, that I do have an issue with; also the misleading "and/or" connector, but I'll assume that's a copy/paste artifact). The "unsubstantive" part is another matter. Stop and look at the actual quality of my counterparts' comments Dang. Is it (solely) me who is deserving of a scolding? These are not minor or inconsequential topics being discussed here. If no community takes a stand and takes thinking more seriously especially when it matters, humans will continue to be tricked into forever war, indefinitely.
