Yeah, well in personal circumstances , and you can take someones preferred pronoun into account. But why would you be offended in general texts where the gender doesn't even matter.

They're not being arrested, their visa would be revoked. I guess there are reasons you can use to revoke a visa. Maybe if you are pro some terrorist group that could be a reason. Not sure though.

Yeah me too. I think most people that don't like Rogan is because they never actually listened to him, but only heard controversial things about him.

Come on, every president lies. What does it matter if they're a clown or not. At least with Trump it's obvious, and it's not so hypocritical.

But it's maybe also dumb to alter health articles to DEI when it's about scientific sex and not imaginary genders. In what case does a scientific health article need to take someone's gender preference into account?
426.
by gitaarik 2y ago
So why is this only happening now
427.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Ok, but how many articles that were about DEI were removed compared to that weren't? If they do a big amount of work with a small error margin that wouldn't be so dramatic. Also, 7.6% seems very high, what is this number based on,
428.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Yeah bit they werd removed because they were supposedly written in a LBQT focused way?

Why is this Russian propaganda? The agreement was not official, but it did certainly seem to have happened. If you open up history books you should also understand that.

I agree we shouldn't take the mindset of a dictator seriously, but we should take the threat of a superpower seriously. And we should show respect to a superpower as long as it's a superpower, because getting into conflict with a

That sounds like a prejudgment. You say Russia would have done this regardless of NATO's actions, but you don't know that. And you're downplaying the importance of NATO's actions and it's influence on Russia's

> "We" (americans) aren't doing anything to help, and are in fact withdrawing support. How can America not do anything and withdraw support at the same time? > Ukraine is not going to start WW3. Yes Ukraine is not going

I'm not saying Russia is just defending itself. I'm saying there was an agreement between NATO and Russia which NATO broke. And since Russia is a superpower, it can start a war, and it can result in WW3. So it's maybe wise to
434.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Yeah no I'm not saying that that is necessary ok, but that we should consider making a deal with Russia instead of just continuing the war.
435.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Then what is fine? To expand NATO? Maybe it's not fine if it causes WW3
436.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Well I guess that for Russia it doesn't really matter if the agreement was official. They still feel threatened by it, and they have been saying that, and NATO still went on.
437.
by gitaarik 2y ago
But NATO first agreed not to expand to countries along Russia's border, because they see that as a threat. But then NATO did anyway. So it's not like we're being told by Russia what to do, we made an agreement. And Russia is
438.
by gitaarik 2y ago
So what is your argument, that we should go on fully with the war and send more soldiers to the front? Because we don't want to make any concession with Russia? Because we don't want to sympathize at least a little bit because tha
439.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Yeah Russia started the war, but the NATO expansion pressured them, and that was the responsibility of NATO. But what's your point?

He's maybe breaking continuity of the US as a whole, but in general he seems to be quite consistent in his actions and motivations. And maybe he's the first president in a long time that actually understands Russia's perspect
441.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Yeah but we could have prevented it, so that means we wanted to so badly expand NATO that we would go into war with Russia for it? Why can't we stay put and maybe try to talk more? And now that we have an opportunity to talk or make a
442.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Of course they want NATO, but Russia doesn't want it, and considers it a threat. I think the cold war never ended. And it's not just the Russians that are active in it.
443.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Before I started delving into this topic, I also thought that Russia was just doing this because they are a crazy war machine. But after I looked into the history of it, I can understand better that Russia does have some reasons to feel thr
444.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Well if it's so clear to you, why can't you give a straight up argument? People always say things like "explore it for 15 minutes" or "think about it" or whatever. But I think people are just repeating what oth
445.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Ok, but now we have a war going on for 3 years, and there is a threat for WW3, is that nice?
446.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Well maybe that is what they say they are but maybe there is more going on, and I can imagine that Russia might consider that.
447.

It's not only a narrative of Russia, there are also Americans like Jeffrey Sachs saying this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9x5E0ETyv8 And recently two Trump administration officials also brought this up: https:&#x

by gitaarik 2y ago
And I rarely see this topic being discussed. Why is that a taboo? That's supicious
449.
by gitaarik 2y ago
Well if you are in war with a country, you should at least try to understanding their perspective from their viewpoint to understand their motivations. If you want to prevent more conflict at least..

by gitaarik 2y ago
Regardless of whether there is a drawn up agreement, still the expansion of NATO to the Russian borders is putting pressure on Russia I would assume, and can cause conflicts. But yeah it would certainly help if they would make the agreement
