I'm not spreading disinformation-what I've posted in the sanction thread are links from the mainstream, pro-Ukrainian media.
Whether or not you are succeeding in your attempt to create a particular discourse is irrelevant to the fact that the attempt is being made, and what the ultimate aim is of making that attempt.
Mine is another pissing in the wind viewpoint. That's all.
Bothered? Having been presented with a view that contradicts my own, I am merely offering a robust counterargument. What bothers you so much about that? You've been faced with these all your life, and will be until the day you die.
Nothing. But I am not one of those constantly demanding some kind of simplistic unanimity, complete with an absurdly misplaced moral fervour.
Er, that’s exactly what you are
I neither demand unanimity nor believe morality even exists.
Absolute poppycock. Your every post reeks of it. If you truly believe this, you need to do some serious self-reflection.
You think I demand unanimity on a board where 90% of those who post oppose me, some to an almost obsessive extent?
You are literally accusing those posting up information of having hard-ons for death and destruction. That’s coercive behaviour, focused on getting other people in line with how you want them to behave. Unanimity to your moral perspective.
I didn’t think so, no. Neither, however, did I think it was revelling in death. It was stupid propaganda put out by those who have been attacked, raped and murdered and were enjoying the schadenfreude of those responsible having their holiday curtailed in response. Colour me meh.
If it does, then it shouldn't. Perspective and everything. So lay off the guilt tactics.
Yes, others are being coercive too. But we’re not talking about them. We’re talking about your claim that
This is palpably untrue and if you were honest with yourself and reflected on this, it would help you a lot.
Examples of the hysterical reaction, wrapped in a comical moral certainty, of the armchairs to any scepticism about this war abound in these threads.
So what?
It's something you denied in a previous post, in an attempt to paint a minority (possibly of just one) viewpoint as illegitimate.
No I didn’t. I’ve purposely steered clear of the behaviour of others. I’m interested in the behaviour of you. And you’re employing every psychic defence in the book — distraction, projection, denial, the works — to avoid dealing with the fact that you ARE “one of those constantly demanding some kind of simplistic unanimity, complete with an absurdly misplaced moral fervour.”
Thanks for the psychoanalysis, but don't bother sending me a bill. I've simply offered a fairly consistent opinion, and frequently stated that people can take it or leave it (I don't care, you see.)
You seem to think this thread is all about self important you. It's not and you're now banned from it.
I know that they were happy to go and holiday in the annexed territory of a country that they as a nation have invaded. That doesn’t exactly speak of hostility to the raping and murdering being performed in their names by their government. I didn’t say that they were attackers. I said that the Ukrainians would view them as bearing responsibility. And their decision to have that holiday in this occupied territory, which tacitly — if not actively — supports this invasion certainly argues that the Ukrainian view on this one is reasonable.
