It depends on your ideology. If you believe in international law, sovereignty and self-determination of peoples, as I do, you will have a different truth than if you believe in dominionism, might makes right, panslavism and historical revisionism as the majority of the Russian population does.
That's exactly my point, your truth is a reflection of your world view and your ideology.
It is silly to assume one's truth as universal and doing so kills all nuance.
- wiseowise 1y agoPhilosophical ramblings are irrelevant when it comes to international law.
- saubeidl 1y agoInternational law is irrelevant when it comes to people's perception of truth.
- wiseowise 1y agoSo the only truth is people's perception of truth?
- saubeidl 1y agoYes. As humans are inherently ideological and subjective beings, that is all we will ever have.
- wiseowise 1y agoSo killing you is not an inherently immoral act and should be justified under someone's ideological standpoint?
- saubeidl 1y agoThe morality of killing, as everything else, is a question of ideology. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldiers_are_murderers https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soldiers_are_murderers for a famous debate on this subject.
