Why is it justifiable to violate the property rights of the company owners to exert influence on jobs that the company also owns? Again - to level the playing field. Because there's also this thing known as "human rights",

Because we can be sure that all the while -- companies are using their resources to engage in potentially anti-employee and employee-undermining activities. And in some cases not just potentially, but manifestly. So it's to level the

There is no point of course -- other than to make yet another attempt at intellectual obfuscation, and to push people's emotional buttons. As to what the video shows -- it was a local ceremony, not any kind of federal recognition of

Having failed to turn Nikolaev (and apparently no intent to take it by force), Not only did they absolutely intend to take Mikolaiv - they were expecting to positively waltz their way through it, on their way to waltzing through Odesa, wh

Yup - they're literally saying that the fact of a tiny fringe group that managed to get involved with the Muj in Chechnya -- is equivalent to saying that Ukraine as a whole (or its government, whatever) supported those folks. Which k

I don't deny Mearsheimer's views on Ukraine at all. On the contrary, I believe we should let them stand for what they are - as a shining example of Orwell's famous mamxim: “One has to belong to the intelligentsia to be

You know that just because some professor somewhere says something (in a way that makes it sound high-minded and respectable) -- that doesn't make it so, right?

I can't shake off the fact that Western powers won the cold war but imposed a victor's peace on Russia. It's more of an assessment than "fact". But still, you don't need to shake if off. You can obsess abou

This apparently started a lengthy thread between him and the 5 PMs where they explained to him that the reason he wasn't supportive of the change was because of the "systemic and cultural racism" he apparently internalized.

As a hypothetical pro-Russian user, why would you ...? Because as a troll, your goal certainly isn't to be popular. It's to dilute the narrative, and wear people down. For which getting dogpiled is just par for the course.

You were asked a specific, yes-or-no question. Care to answer?

Right -- all that was ever said at the time was that the pipeline would be put on hold. Not "bombed" as the commenter above yours is perfectly aware.

You know, that thing that will never fucking happen. Exactly. To the extent that there's any validity in looking at the current situation between the US and its larger neighbors, it completely demolishes the idea that we should have

Several US state officials, even Biden, stated they would do this if the US invaded Ukraine. They stated what, specifically? That they would literally bomb the pipeline? You need to be at least a little more careful with these cognit

Enough, please. None of these ridiculous comparisons have anything to do with the current situation.

A spy, no. Just unfortunately living in the bubble of whatever blogs and other ideologically warped news sources you're reading. No one in (mainstream) Ukrainian society believes in the "coup" or attaches any special signifi

From their language they seem not to be Russian natives, but rather Westerners who have bought into the Russian (government's) narrative. Pure mindfuck all the way down, in any case.

Except that -- given Ukraine's history vis-a-vis Russia since the 19th century -- that's nowhere near an appropriate analogy.

So I don’t think I did anything wrong but still feel bad. And there’s no way I could predict such a response. I feel bad for both of you. This anecdote seems to capture everything wrong with the current climate of discussion on these top

Agreed - a web interface would be very significant boost. The idea certainly has potential, but first one needs to see the aggregate results (for which phones are way too tiny, and require on to be ... on one's phone)
