      Sometimes I see messages like this and I wonder what fucked up nonsense worldview the author has, and how it got the way it got.

        Usually through the consistent application of pattern recognition and critical analysis

            What the fuck are you talking about. Liberal media be liberal. I agree its center right but cope harder I guess.

            Edit: I live in Canada - I watched in real time as the CBC interviewed a Ukrainian officer about training. The initial video showed his swastika tattoo plain as day on his right arm, and they quickly re-released it blurred out.

            If you think CBC is some kind of bastion of right winged-ness (in your liberal terms anyways…) then I’ve got a heavily underfunded public infrastructure project to sell you.

              It has a long line of Tory stooges running the joint, and lets TERFs run their mouths on the air uncontested, and lets dipshits like Farage say things without adequate critical pushback.

              That’s just what I’ve seen and heard while here on Normal Island in the last 48 hours.

              Its really, really obvious when you’ve been away from the Island for a while.

                But if they’re lefter than most other mainstream news sources, doesn’t that make them all rightoid news, including wherever you get your news from?

                Why do you trust rightoid news about Ukraine? Can you name a non-rightoid source you use for information about the conflict?

                    Your classy insults aside, it’s ok mang, just do yourself a favour and be more open-minded instead of trusting the same govt/media machine that told you there were WMDs in Iraq.

              Two things can be true at the same time. They can be a vibed up shitlib. You can be a moderator trying to use your power to cultivate a narrow and specific interpretation of world events.

                The correct interpretation of world events is, in fact, narrow and specific.

                There’s only one version of reality that happens, this isn’t a multiverse. There’s one correct version of events, and then everything else is made up.

                  Sure. It could be. Heck even three things could be true at much. Maybe even three ignorami all easily manipulated by their propaganda de jour. And its not like I’m new to this little panty-bundle pet issue you choose to editorially moderate around. We all see you. We all see what you are doing and have been doing around this issue for years. Just like we see Jordan Lund for what they do. Or Ruud. Or squid.

                  The issue to me isn’t the disagreement: its your refusal to have it and to use your moderator powers to suppress conversations which you can’t actually engage in, in a public manner, and expect to convince people to come to your side. And what it does, the way its almost exclusive to one particular pet issue: it dramatically weakens your stance.

                  Any point you could possibly be making which might actually be convincing becomes basically meaningless because you can’t do it rhetorically. You choose to not allow for it. Just like Squid coudlnt defend zionism rhetorically, and so they abused the power of moderation; just like Jordan Lund and their defense of establishment poltiics. These are your peers. These are who you share a bench with when you choose to engage in this manner.

                  If your arguments were really good and convincing, you wouldn’t need to editorialize via moderation. When you do what you do, it says more about the weakness of your perspective than it does show any kind of strength.

                    It says plenty about western propaganda and how libs refuse to even consider that the same people who lied about Cuba, Vietnam, Peru, Palestine, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, South Africa, Bahrain, Yemen, slavery, Thanksgiving, Columbus, Argentina, Hawaii, Philippines is certainly telling the truth about Russia and China.
