273 – Unsatisfying Discussion

(Discussing “footage” of the war that turned out to be from a video game, and the importance of fact-checking)

> It’s important to remember that there aren’t just 2 sides. There’s a third that isn’t trying to win, just trying to keep the fighting going. Confirming sources is how you keep yourself from becoming one of their pawns.

< Russia can stop at any time, that’s the side that is just trying to keep the fighting going at this point.

> You don’t understand my words

< No, you don’t understand the situation. There is exactly ONE aggressor here, when that aggressor stops, it’s over.

> I never said otherwise, and so I repeat myself: you don’t understand my words.

< You abso-fucking-lutely said that. You might not have meant it but rather than having people read your mind you could fucking clarify.

> Can you directly quote the words where I said that? Otherwise you are projecting meaning.
