That's a false analogy. We're not fighting the Nazis, and Russia has no intention of dominating the world. If waging war was enough to be like the Nazis, I believe the USA got there a long time ago.

I do! I'd much rather see that than a general war with Russia, thank you. Only the insane believe this war could end in anything but extinction or decades of misery and conflict.

Can't replace Number with BigInt as BigInt is orders of magnitude slower on certain operations. Try to do bitwise operations with BigInt, you'll see what I mean.

And who's going to teach the AI what's a conspiracy and what's not? Battles have been fought over what narrative certain Wikipedia pages should push; it's pretty hard to find information that can be objectively considere

If you want a plutocracy then that's how you'd do it. Spoiler: the weight your vote is already determined by your worth, billionaires can lobby governments, average people can't.

Someone who makes that kind of statements intentionally and publicly while building a political platform on it is simply irrecoverable. I don't really care if a few years later he found out that it was politically more convenient for h

I simply stated two facts. There is no narrative except the one you are extrapolating. I'm sorry if you don't like reality but it's not my fault. But hey, the post itself was flagged. I'm glad that glorification of fasci

Do you expect propaganda to only come directly from the government? Look at this operation by Israel for example[0]. The USA aren't new to this either[1]. A part of Wikipedia is literally a battle field between propaganda arms of diffe

What a laughably naive view of the world. Ever wondered why goods are affordable in our "modern market economies"? It's because we exploit labor and resources in poorer countries, at a fraction of what it would cost here, to

Personal experience, but pro-Ukrainian accounts/channels are much worse in terms of "Othering", be it justified or not. There is a widespread tendence to call Russians a variety of names, such as "Orcs"[0], "Co

The real question is why don't they have a modern market economy, and if they all did, what would happen to the existing modern market economies?
