Here is my latest appearance on Silicon Curtain! Check out our conversation for my unfiltered opinion of what is going on with Trump and the Russians. youtu.be/kyrY0FqdrZo
Doesn't deal with my point In my society, THAT'S what conservative voices looked like before the political sphere got infiltrated by disinformation They may still not be what you'd prefer - I have plenty of gripes with them, trust me - but it's far from the religious conservative bigots you fight
1 that society needs different voices and opinions to be healthy, and conservatives can be part of that 2 that what is conservative depends on the society within which they exist I followed up with the fact that pace should be tempered to ensure we don't rush into solutions and risk overcorrecting
I'm honestly confused - how would someone be a Nazi if they didn't behave according to Nazi beliefs? What moderate Dems Nazis? And my original points were two:
☠️ Sabotage groups in Pokrovsk: out of 150 Russians, about 30 reached the city, - DeepState 🔄 The enemy formed tactical groups of 50 people each from three companies. The goal of the action was to create panic and force the units to flee the city, as it was in Selydove.
Ukrainian forces have liberated the village of Bezsalivka in Sumy region and fully cleared it, the general staff confirms. The operation involved the 33rd Separate Assault Regiment and the 24th Separate Assault Battalion. During the battle, Ukrainian troops eliminated 18 Russian servicemen.

I promise you, demonising them has an even smaller success rate Whether facts work also depends on degree of brainwashing. If they've been radicalised or convinced everyone else lies, then anything you tell them is futile But one of my comments in above thread mentioned what has in fact helped
Circles back to my starting point. That 'conservative' is not inherently bad, because it changes with societal circumstances. In practice there are places where conservatives are horrible, because the status quo is horrible. But that doesn't mean conservatives can't have a place in the right society
Is that their outright goal or a blip in their system? Cause to those who has that goal (and those are quite a few moderate politicians in the US) I'm opposed! It's also time to point out that conservative in US and my home are very different. Our traditional conservatives are your moderate Dems

⚡️As ceasefire deadline passes, no additional Russia sanctions announced by Trump. U.S. President Donald Trump has not imposed fresh sanctions on Russia, even as Moscow refused to cease hostilities in Ukraine by his Aug. 8 deadline.
And some have flipped sides in the because they are indeed misinformed, sucked in when they are young, dumb and fierce. It's mostly experience and humanisation that gets them. Learning their presented enemy isn't vile monsters but people like them But first priority is protecting their victims
Anger and fear makes them act irrationally, thinking they stand against an existential threat that must be extinguished, created by often a few leaders The difference between Nazis and most the rest of the Right? They actively want to destroy people. Average conservatives don't intend that
And on another front - in fact many of them are misinformed And I know you think so to, otherwise you'd agree with their ideology. The only way for them not to be misinformed is if they had the right of it - they factually don't, luckily As I warned you about previous they are fuelled by emotions
If you can explain your points and frustration without presenting false inflammatory statements, I'd love to talk. Put your mind at ease, likely agree with you in quite a few areas (as I do), potentially be swayed on some. In return, you try to listen to my points, not the ones you think I make
I'll just be more concise for a point I tried previously to point to: If your prime defense of your position is the misrepresentation of your opposition, you don't have a good position You're rather being dishonest I'd love to start over. For us to take a moment to listen and talk, human to human

Hence why I have another controversial position that representative democracy is not good enough. Politicians can and will slide in self-serving or directly unpopular laws, they behave right around voting time before slipping back once their position is settled I prefer the Swiss solution
And finally? Politicians are one thing while people are another. A lot of polls show that common people (at least here) want more done, that the government is failing. But politicians don't always reflect people, they reflect personal interest too often
Similar to how I've had discussions with strong pro-Palestine people who spouted anti-Ukrainian rhetoric because they got it into their heads that the minimal aid Israel has provided Ukraine meant they were friends Fully ignoring Putin's active genocide attempt
Those who ACTIVELY support it? Horrible ass people Those who've been enveloped in propaganda that was the entire point of Israel removing media from Gaza? Intentionally misinformed You'll very rarely find people actually support genocide. Most just don't know and don't recognise it
But you truly think the conservative side is only Nazis, then we have the broad and nuanced Left wing that spans from free market+progressive policies and end around anarchy? Cause I doubt you're that stupid, but that position is necessary if you want my position to indeed be ridiculous
Impressive you skip the point of the post before this one entirely to reach your point I'm curious as well why you insist on making these inflammatory statements? They aren't constructive and neither reflect my position, only a severely mangled version of in Cause Nazis can fuck right off
Further, that trans hate is imported from America because outside influences want to destabilise us too. It's part of dictatorships etc. trying to undermine the West whether individual politicians realise they are being puppeteered. It doesn't come from the population, and hasn't spread wide (yet)
And if you stopped focusing so much on accusations and started actually being interested in my opinions, you'd have read that I specifically state the bigoted ones are a problem. They are not the ones I'm talking about
The science is clear that fossil fuel fueled climate change is making heat waves, fires, floods, hurricanes, & extreme weather worse. Yet major news outlets, especially TV news, often fail to name the connection. Demand they do better! sc.org/EndClimateSilence
Certainly not celebrated by me and millions of others who grew up in council houses Nor the millions of young people being forced to pay rip-off rents to greedy private landlords who now OWN many of these former council houses www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Nordic, then. That should offer a LOT of clarification And the conservative parties are certainly not working 'for' my cause. They just simply aren't filled and voted on by bad people who deserves to be called out. They just see different solutions to the same problems than I do
If you think ONLY natural development is at play, I certainly understand why you distrust the whole setup, but a great bit of especially last decade's madness is from outside mingling. Biggest culprits are elites destroying education and outside dictators eliminating 'threats'
You are also very misplaced to say every movement is doing bad shit things. A majority? Yes! But not every movement, certainly not every individual, and many of the worst are orchestrated by outside forces using their extreme versions to destabilise our societies
Considering those people inherently bad when all they do is believe they have found an alternative fix to society's problems and messing more with the system exacerbate the issue, I can't demonise them, only disagree. I only truly demonise institutions
If they also disagree on the slew of issues roiled into Christian and colonial traditions - racism, homophobia, sexism - THEN we deal with bad people. In a society less extreme than yours, some supporters of the free market genuinely believe it fixes issues we want to fix with egalitarian efforts
Remember when I said I wasn't spouting my own views? I'm fiercely against the free market. Most international crises are caused by it. But free market people don't NEED to be bigoted to have those views, and aren't inherently bad people They are just people who disagree with us on economics
From what I further see, a lot of the traditional people who created and highjacked the system has lost control because of Trump, since only a small subset (Heritage Foundation) and international instigators has proper tabs on him. Their artificially created uneducated base got a lose canon Messiah
Conservatives and ESPECIALLY Christians in the US realized they were losing ground long ago, and corporations found social-/communism an existential threat, so the elite teamed up to destroy educational systems, invade media and create fake narratives to keep an uneducated base. That's artificial
Very next sentence shows a good bit of what I'm talking about. Read on, and you'll find that I mention precisely that 1776 status quo a problem Though those problems are much more systemic than natural regarding politics. Your system has been the victim of manipulation and propaganda for decades
Anti-LGBT are from religious traditions, not politics. Free market people can be for immigration, both for extra labour and specialist workers (why the US farming industry are the biggest hypocrites with their votes). A person with socialist views might limit their efforts to only their ethnic group
A further thing missed here is that these describe not political movements top to bottom, but primarily how society should be structured economically. The bare bones are set within above words, but their practical setup changes. That's where Left and Right becomes arbitrary
I don't believe in forcing anything over people's heads. That will make them fight like hell. But everything shows education shift people in my direction, so I educate That means conservatives are not the enemy, but rather future friends. Especially in a system where we can still talk (my nation)
To truly dismantle and restructure a system, you must understand what you're dismantling, why, and what the alternative you work towards is. Otherwise you risk repeating the mistakes of the past and fall into traps like those that fucked up the French Revolution and the formation of the Soviets
Regarding practicality? If my world view only works in the fantasy realm I don't want it implemented, cause then it'll hurt rather than heal I engage in theoretical considerations WHILE fighting for change, cause I want to be certain the change I push for is viable. Politics aren't black and white
Cause it's the f'ing internet? If you're truly that interested you can dig around on me, but damn Neither do I have to appease you. I'm for socialism, I don't have gripes. However, other people aren't. We can insult those to hell and back, but I promise you that only get them further from the cause
Please frame out exactly what I've been saying. I don't think you've understood my position
And, if you truly want to know? I'm closest in beliefs to 'communist' myself. I find anarchist a bit too optimistic on how people organise, but don't oppose their sentiments. Socialism is a mostly acceptable alternative to my own views, and in general I support what works practically over ideals
I've not refused to acknowledge anything I've not mentioned this, no, but have indeed mentioned that the US situation is horrendous However, I'm not from the US, and I didn't talk about the practical situation originally And I didn't mention that because it's untrue in my nation
And the half of conservatives that are against that I despise I guess nuances are a bit easier to see when vastly different sets of ideals are not stuck dividing themselves into only two categories
Answered your own question, I see 😉 no, not a Brit
My biggest gripe with politics is this fanclub mentality. People should fight for their own beliefs, ideals and politics instead of aligning themselves to parties and sides, cause those sides need to constantly be kept in check, and you might allow them to flip while still blindly rooting their side
Current 'Left' is not past 'Left'. Current 'Right' is not past 'Right' And current Right fucking sucks. Doesn't deserve to exist. But chopping people down into one set of ideals currently trending on one side doesn't do
Instead of 'sides' we have a set of policies that fluctuate back and forth between two groups just wanting to be elected. When one alters their stance, or the public change response, they might switch So those who are for free market, those who are for tradition, can have any collection of opinions
But everyone who wants free market doesn't default to racism, they just have a different economic ideology 'Left' and 'Right' doesn't exist. What they've stand for changes constantly depending on the pressures society face. Reagan and Bush liked immigrants for an American example
Indeed! As I said myself, current states require fighting! It's unacceptable! I've agitated for no such thing. If people are arguing for the oppression and mistreatment of others, there is no compromise
You're dealing in the practical where I'm talking about the theoretical So I repeat myself. Current standards in much of the world requires fight against conservatives because of the basis they protect is bad. That doesn't make their stance, as a concept, bad in every circumstance
Once more showing you either don't understand my point or deliberately want to misrepresent it to cause anger/outrage and/or protect yourself I'm obviously against genocide and racism. Have been hounding my government a while to get them moving on Israel, and am putting pressure regarding Ukraine
Look just one little response if mine below There's the answer to your question. Which brings me back to that wondering of whether you are deliberately antagonistic because you want a fight, are just so wired for opposition that you're paranoid, or if reading comprehension is the problem
As often and always, Russia can't handle their OWN DAMN TACTICS when used against them I don't know if they don't get how weak that makes them seem? But still, very typical abuser/bully behaviour flipping any retaliation over as 'going too far', 'you're being cruel and unreasonable' 🤢🤮
Don't know why you found this comment necessary, nor why you insist on putting words and opinions in my mouth Don't know if you just look for a fight out of boredom or frustration. If that's the case, put that energy where it's needed. I presume you're American? So work to save your country instead
