  I’m not sure who you’re referencing to, but I’m assuming you’re not referring to me, because I despise the IDF

  And maybe somebody to check all the women characters, and make sure he’s not coming across as being a little bit odd.

  Yeah…

  And Death Stranding is better about its female characters than most of the MGS games…

  It’s great seeing shitlibs building their campfire mythology in real time

  Thanks! That’s very comprehensive.

  I already told you what the lie was, lol. And no, I’m not going to provide the methodology for your article, you lazy bum.

  Yeah yeah, and your girlfriend goes to a different school

  No you didn’t. I asked for the methodology, you didn’t even remotely answer that.

  Maybe try not lying about things that are easy to check.

  You don’t actually have any idea how they derived those numbers, do you?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That didn’t remotely answer my question.

  The research is pretty clear on this:

  Lol. What was the methodology on this “research”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How in the world did you derive those numbers? How do you even quantify that in practice?

  Also, of course British State Media is going to discourage violent protests.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do realise that the whole point of the United Nations is so that things like that this don’t happen anymore.

  No? The point of the UN is to stop actual wars, not what the UK is trying to describe as war, which are things that the west has been consistently doing for the entire lifetime of the UN.

  So how can we not be at war with an entity so fundamentally untrustworthy.

  Because a lot of countries are fundamentally untrustworthy? Including all of the ones who are signed onto the Rome Statute who are still supporting Israel. Which includes the UN. If you really want to redefine terms so that any untrustworthy country is inherently at war, then the UK is at war with the entire world.

  You are complaining that the West is at war with Russia

  No, I’m pointing out that the West isn’t at war with Russia, and it’s an Orwellian abuse of language to say they are.

  that’s because Russia is constantly breaking the rules

  There is no rule that Russia has broken that the west, especially the UK, hasn’t repeatedly and flagrantly violated both in the past and currently.

  Your problem is that you’ve already decided who is right and who is wrong and you’re not going to allow anything like reality to get in the way of that.

  Wrong. Nothing I have said implies that; I’m guessing this is a go to straw-man you go to, but it most certainly doesn’t apply to me. If anything, it sounds like you’re projecting; you’ve already decided whos wrong and that’s why you’re not actually reading or responding to what I’m saying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t mean other countries were doing things do the West, lol.

  I meant the West has constantly been doing to most of the world what westerners are no trying to describe as “war” when Russia does it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia is at war with Britain and US is no longer a reliable ally, UK adviser says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine it westerners applied the same standard for “at war” to themselves that they do to Russia: they’d basically have been at war with most of the world for the last century.

  It doesn’t, and acting like you don’t know what words mean just makes you look foolish, not me.

  What exactly do you think strawmanning means?

  There are not, and even if there were, that still wouldn’t be strawmanning

  No there aren’t, and that’s not what strawmanning is

  Yeah. Use better sources

  No there aren’t, and you should lay off the thought terminating cliches

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Happy anniversary of the day absolutely nothing happened at nowhere square!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You used Wikipedia as a source and passed?

  Standards sure have dropped
