    i mean he has said similar things before. libs don't care about 2014, they just see Ukraine as the little guy defending themselves against the big bad Russia.

      Bro you can't expect him to unfurl hammer and sickle on kremlin but atleast he took a hard stance on NATO and Russia's sovereignty that takes huge balls. Even China doesn't want a direct confrontation with US.

        He is a nationalistic pragmatist. He despises communists and has made that very clear, if he had the chance to unfurl the hammer and sickle he would never do it.

        It just so happens that the national and economic interests of Russia are anti-west and trending in the direction of China. If NATO and the US were friendly to Russia, Putin would be the first one signing on to work with them and cooperate.

            I agree, that's why that would never happen in any reality. I'm just saying in the hypothetical that if it did happen by some insane metric.

                I think you’re misunderstanding ComradeSalad if you took away them “feel[ing] smug about how bad imaginary Putin … is”.

                It is worth pointing this out because Putin did repeatedly try to make friendly terms with the West but it refused (and then tried to gaslight us into thinking none of that happened)

                You’re right. Putin is a Marxist Leninist at heart who loves the working class and Soviet Union and is not primarily driven by the capitalistic desires of Russia’s bourgeoisie class at all.

                He is a shining example of what we should all aspire to be.

                Happy? Imagine getting riled up at an analogy and running to uncritically defend Putin from any and all complaint. I’m not a liberal, there’s no need to immediately say anything negative about someone that is situationally aligned with the leftist movement is hearsay.

          Putin is bad

          None of us here are saying that Russia is a shining beacon of communism. I think though that a binary “good” and “bad” isn’t how the world works — there are varying degrees of good and bad.

          If we had an evil scale where higher = more evil like some people would like to have, and the Putin administration is some finite number, post-Euromaidan Ukrainian government is a higher one, and the US is definitely infinity.

            I don't know about this specifically, but China's typically taken a neutral route when it comes to international affairs. And that's for better or worse I guess. They haven't really funded external communist groups nor have they embroiled themselves within proxy wars. Last time I think they did that was the Korean War?

            And that's fair to criticize but China's pretty consistent on how it tries to achieve very neutral terms internationally. China even trades weapons with Israel, which sucks.

      They don't summarize it, they cherrypick it and twist the shit out of it to the point of sometimes giving an impression that is sometimes the diametrically opposite of what he was actually saying. The most famous example of this was when they twisted the shit out of when Putin said the collapse of the USSR was a great catastrophe, completely omitting what he said afterwards and making it look like he wanted to recreate the USSR (which would be based actually but unfortunately that's not what he meant) when in reality he was only saying it because it left large numbers of Russian diaspora in former Soviet republics.

        I don't know what the hell happened but all of a sudden in his mobilization speech western media started that Putin will nuke the world or ukraine. I regularly watch Putin's speech (heck it was just 15 -20mins) but the grand scale they twisted the whole context where he threatened Liz Truss's speech turned into a whole new game of Putin gonna nuke anyday now to the point Elon Musk got worried 🤣.

    So what does this pay, in US dollars? Do you get a check each month, or is it piecework?

    I’ve always been curious about how this works, because you need to make it look organic, but when you land in the uncanny valley like this and then all pile on not realizing, it can result in a huge waste of resources trying to build online personas, integrating them with communities, etc, to try to gain organic growth. I’d personally charge a lot for this, but with AI you face a lot of competition that charges less for adequate results.

    So can anyone comment on the pay here?

      Quick everyone, hide your ID badges!

      I think its probably the fact that there is a type of person you're used to arguing with that makes your type so angry when you decide to visit.

      To protect your ego, you have unconsciously going into and starting arguments with people you consider inferior. Perhaps with this habit over time you made the common mistake of conflating your choice of hanging around ignorance as evidence that you are smarter than your average person.

      Am i close? Should i keep going?

      Your average comment is snark, yes? Do you go into deep conversations online? Do you know history beyond what you learned in school? Do you daily seek out knowledge?

      If the answer to these questions is yes, no, no, no as i suspect (don't answer me, answer them to yourself online arguments are stupid and useless) then do better, ok? The world needs people to try. They don't need more of the you you just displayed.

      This section was great:

      To attain these goals, they try to replace international law with a “rules-based order,” whatever that means. It is not clear what rules these are and who invented them. It is just rubbish, but they are trying to plant this idea in the minds of millions of people. “You must live according to the rules.” What rules?

      And actually, if I may, our Western “colleagues,” especially those from the United States, don’t just arbitrarily set these rules, they teach others how to follow them, and how others should behave overall. All of this is done and expressed in a blatantly ill-mannered and pushy way. This is another manifestation of colonial mentality. All the time we hear, “you must,” “you are obligated,” “we are seriously warning you.”

      Who are you to do that? What right do you have to warn others? This is just amazing. Maybe those who say all this should get rid of their arrogance and stop behaving in such a way towards the global community that perfectly knows its objectives and interests, and should drop this colonial-era thinking? I want to tell them sometimes: wake up, this era has long gone and will never return.

    I don't think American people really understand how big of an ICBM stock Russia has. Putin's whole policy about holding USA in check was to development of ICBMs and establishing a no win scenario if Russia was to be attacked.

    Which he already achieved. I just hope we won't have to go through one more WW.
