Ad Ignorantiam fallacy states otherwise.
“Fake” is itself an assertion requiring evidence, independent from stating neutrality, e.g., “We don’t know whether it is true or not.”
Also, circular-reasoning fallacy: Who says they’re extraordinary claims within the context of what we already know?
Unverified? Yes. Corroborating some of what we already know? Also yes.
Proven fake? Definitely not. That is unless you are to believe the word of Republicans and Trump.
lmao this kid saw, “Russia if you’re listening,” the Mueller reporter (did not exonerate), numerous Trump cabinet members imprisoned for speaking to Russian spies, Krasnov and Steele dossier, Trump flying to Moscow in 80s only to within weeks upon return out a full page ad abolishing NATO in 3 major newspapers, saw the hand-delivered letter flown to Moscow by Rand Paul on behalf of Trump; saw numerous GOP Congressmen fly over to Moscow to have private meetings on 4th of July no less.
… And apparently cannot connect the dots lmao.
Putin couldn’t be happier by this chaos and distraction from Ukraine. Investment paying off.
Such is the point. There’s a reason Donnie started his first term so aggressively picking fights with Canada and Norway. Fulfilling Putin’s wish.
Also diverts attention from Ukraine.
Not the first time fuckwit has done this, as article notes. Just saber-rattling bullshit. Usually means Russia is desperate.
Your point is completely valid but what’s scary to me is that very much in name of, “Info Wars” and Plato’s Allegory of the Cave, perception becomes reality.
In short, they know they fully in control of the biggest megaphones of media and so can mold reality however they like
Is that the same as Intouchables? If so, I loved that film!
Oh man, tough…
All come to mind first.
Sven co-op was so fun! I thought it as so freaking cool at the time to be able to do that.
They know they just seeded the next several generations of terrorists with the regional destabilization they caused. Time to try finding a new solution for the problem they made…
Side note but I was literally just thinking the other day that the accelerated rise of corruption and right-wing pivot of the globe also coincides with encrypted / anonymous communications. Mobsters and state actors must be having an absolute field day this past decade.
No. All are dyed in the wool trumpers these days and didn’t do jack shit for me in younger years in the midst of very hard times of family problems (eg, parental divorce).
I have my true family and loved ones, and would rather not complicate things. I’ve already spent hundreds of thousands of words mending one close relationship successfully; but that was one worth saving as taxing as it was.
As far as older people go you mention, the funny thing is I’ve always been more comfortable around people much older than me. Always felt distant from my peers, generally.
When I feel that I can’t improve the world, I improve myself and focus on my family.
You can have a fair and equitable court system, or you can have a fast one; rarely if ever both. True justice tends to be slow and steady and helps to account for public witch-hunts and reduce risk of someone innocent being wrongfully convicted. People always say, “Yeah well this one is obvious!” but that’s not how justice works. It must be absolute. It must be there for the lowest of hanging fruit if it is to be there for the more nuanced cases just the same.
On the other hand, sadly, a slow and unfair one are not mutually-exclusive.
No good comes from this. This is the equivalent threatening or intending for violence.
And yet, I’m told by another user, a free speech absolutist, that this is absolutely normal and should be protected.
And I’m simply answering that they’re really not, or at least not in the falsely-equivalent picture you painted with the US. USA is closer to Russia in terms of its fast-track to authoritarianism. UK? They’re engaging in what many here claim to support: no tolerance for intolerance.
If by keeping losers who run their mouths with hate speech in check, then sure.
UK and Germany kind of felt the worst effects of fascism and so have less tolerance for intolerance. This doesn’t seem like a bad thing.
Don’t promote talking-points originating from far-right propaganda outlets. This isn’t when remotely the same as the blatantly unconstitutional Gestapo-like actions of ICE thugs going on in America. Friendly reminder this administration is actively trying to remove political satirist from television by leveraging their oversight of corporate mergers and the FCC. They succeeded with Colbert.
Don’t forget all the publicly-funded universities that caved to pressure on bogus claims of antisemitism with protesters exercising their first amendment rights. Hell, some when tried to stop protests of Israel itself.
Echoing this: If you set out to finds someone directly, more often than not you’re going to have a bad time I think. The most organic way is through self-improvement and a certain inner-peace or contentment with being on your own. Combine this with getting involved in communities of ANY sort that you find comfort or passion in, from a pick-up sports league to DnD group to renaissance festival — whatever. Start finding community, and from there organic connection is bound to occur.
But again, it’s not something you pursue directly but almost always by serendipitous, indirect means.
For me, it was like a flip of the switch. The moment I started to focus on self-improvement and be content with being on my own was the moment I started to be invited to things; which then gave me the confidence to say, “yeah, sure I’ll go.” It was one of these times I met my partner, soul mate, of going on 2 decades.
I’m very much an introvert, and my partner is extremely extroverted. She asked me out on our first date, actually lol.
Ah, and therein lies the problem ladies & gentlemen.
