Uh, that wasn’t posted until well after the comment where he was making the accusation. And honestly, it’s still not clear context, since you have to go read a twitter thread that has absolutely nothing to do with anything else here. I’m perfectly happy to admit I’m just totally missing something obvious, but seriously… what does that link, posted long after the fact, have anything to do with the rest of this thread?
My bad, when you added your edit to your comment, it replaced the first time stamp, so I didn't realize the order of comments.
Yeah, I agree that the image in the OP is ridiculous. Putin is not "based", and there's absolutely no sense in saying so. I just wanted to make the point that there are contexts in which focusing on criticisms, even if they are true, is still harmful.
In the context of what’s actually happening and being discussed here, to me it seems pretty weird to come in with “they have a point” in defense of someone arguing that it’s wrong to call Putin a reactionary.
Yeah, agreed. I initially read that user's comment as directed in general and not at you/RNAi specifically, but I think in retrospect that may have been too charitable a reading.
IDK, you're probably right that I picked the wrong place to make my point here. Sorry for any confusion I caused.
I hear you, it's all good. And to be clear, I don't think you owe any kind of apology, I just couldn't make sense of BeriaInocenceProject's comments, nor what I took as your defense of them.
