you don’t know anything about anyone you are talking to you are brand new here
you dont know any of us
Where are your facts and history to make all these assumptions about what we will care about and when or why?
you dont know if we have family there
if we are from there
if we family fighting there
you are just flying blind
making assumptions
a stupid approach in my opinion
not a way to win over anyone to your way of thinking
Gish Gallup and whataboutism
you can’t blame people for thinking you are a Russian troll you use their techniques
and you are contradicting yourself “putin isnt offended by the west” well I guess not truly contradicting
you didn’t say he was offended and I can imagine the way you argue you will say I never said offended
but before your argument was it was the west, the west brought this on, they could have stopped it but they didn’t
Putin felt threatened
now it’s Putin is so powerful, one of the most powerful people in the world, you can’t have it both ways. He can’t be this victim of the terrible west and this powerful man
You are falling for a Disney story. He is your damn Disney prince.
It’s funny how much you both slam psychology (the elites learn psychology to control people) and then roll out psychology to make your points.
Every negative story about the west, you believe but every negative story about Russia or Syria is some conspiracy.
people who think like you and argue like you and form belief systems like you do not think rationallly or argue rationally.
you have your Disney hero and villains already and are adapting the information as it comes in to fit your preexisting narrative.
The west will always be evil and nothing putin does will ever register as evil to you no matter how depraved.
why? that’s for you to wrestle with
maybe you are russian
maybe subconsciously you want to rape women and kill children
I don’t know
whatever it is it’s for you to sleep with at night
You essentially just attempted to reflect back what I said onto me. I'm seeking a genuine conversation and nobody can answer why they feel the way they do. Emphasis on FEEL, because that's all people are experiencing, FEELINGS. Nobody is stating facts. They are just saying essentially RUSSIA NEEDS TO DIE!!!?!!!
But on closer examination, they don't really know why they are saying it.
Can you explain why you hate Russia so much? And don't say because of what has recently happened because if you do, you're proving that your opinion on such a complex subject as politics can be manipulated so easily that you can go from not caring to breathing fire on demand. You didnt have this much sentiment towards Russia before, did you? Or has Russia always been a country you wake up having nightmares about? Come on. Be real. You didn't care for Russia OR Ukraine before you were told to do so.
That's not being a loyal credible citizen, that's being a sellout. If you put this into real life terms, that's you having your relationships controlled by an external force and being told when your relationships are acceptable and what you can believe about them. You like your parents one day but as soon as the controller tells you to hate them you start going on social media bashing them and promoting hateful rhetoric. But then months later you're attacking another relationship in your life while trying to play diplomat with the ties you've already severed from past skirmishes. Your opinion of your love life hangs on a dime. You're in love when it suits the controller, out of it when it doesn't. You will push everyone away in a heartbeat when told to do so. When you look at it like that, its really no different. When someone has that much power over you and your life, you're in a really serious situation. That was just an EXAMPLE by the way. I'm not assuming I know anything about your personal life and any connection to relationships I mentioned is purely incidental. But you get the point.
Yes, I do question what I'm told. And whenever I have done I've been rewarded with feedback reinforcing my decision. The world isn't how you have been told to see it. I'm sorry but it isn't. The world as people see it is a movie script sculpting over many generations of narrative spinning, manufacturing of history, planting seeds in the collective perceptions of the masses, influencing social, economical and political agendas through good 'ole fashioned manipulation. That's how your world works.
If you don't believe me, why are we the only species to have created laws for living in society? Why are we the only species to have a definition for what society is in the first place? You won't find a dog chuffing on a pipe deliberating on the sociological and philosophical meaning of dog society. Cats don't create laws around how cat world is run. So if that's true, when did our reality fall into place? And who made it? And were we involved? Are you involved in the creating of reality now in the world? Am I? Nope. So who is pulling the strings. If we can meet right now in this digital world based on no intentional desire to actually meet and talk about something we didn't create the context for talking about, what does that say about the control in place to make that happen? I mean, something pushed you to come here to talk about this. But it wasn't you. Because as stated, you can't even explain why you are saying what you are saying.
And see, you're projecting your distorted reality on global politics onto me. I think it's ALL FUCKED. I don't support any side. I would happily wipe out the idea of Putin being a world leader from peoples consciousness as much as I would Boris Johnson or Biden. I think my own government is just as much a major problem as Russia or Ukraine. I know moreover, they are, because the very existence of my government is to control me. And history has shown what the preferences are when the government gets that control. We all can relate to it because we all believe our governments don't actually serve us. We are the little guys after all. Were just helpless cattle being corralled by a rancher. And we have no real influence on what is going on. We just make noises when told to and vote with our emotions and then corralled back into the pen.
Yes, the West is evil. Or should I say, the political machinery that identifies itself as the west. The west is just a construct based on basic geography. Its nothing but a geographical reference to a particular area of landmass on a map. The landmass isn't responsible for the stories we tell each other and the shit that happens. Again, notice the concreteness in the belief of there being a West? The west doesn't exist. It only exists when we refer to the politics of the world we live in. And whose in control of the politics? You guessed it and its not you. So people believe home is what politicians have manufactured. You identify home with a political narrative, not the reality. And therein lies the problem.
I would happily make your problems go away by removing the control systems in place that imprison you and condition you into defending their existence. But that would involve removing the hierarchies in place that have existed since human civilization began. The whole world as you know it would change. All this started when clever people started to realize they could pull rank on less clever people and create hierarchies that when collectively agreed upon put them into powerful positions over the society they lived in. And then this expanded on until we have the machinery today. Someone essentially said "I am king and you will bow to me", people scratched their heads for a while and then said " Uhmm, okay, I guess?" and here we are. So the idea of power and control and all the realities that exist today are a product of it and I would happily undo all that if I could but it starts by understanding its got a little bit more to do with Ukraine than you think. Ukraine IS the distraction to keep you from actually taking back control over your own life and questioning the narrative.
And, what's wrong with being Russian?
Just like with the country you live in, Russians aren't the ones creating these problems. They are pawns in a political game that serves whom? Them? Or the ruling classes? Its no different to how it is over here. Subjects and rulers. Make sure you point your finger at the real culprits. 99% of the population are civilians. Me, you and pretty much everybody else. We are the casualties of this, not the aggressors. Which is exactly my point. Why are we casualties?
Think about that for a second.
