No offence, but the bias mentioned by verisimi earlier seems to be quite obvious at this point. I don't think continuing the discussion makes much sense.
Well, I am currently trying to help a Russian escape Russia for his antiwar sentiments so you really ought to be clear about which part of anti-Russian bias I am representing.
Should you have arguments that don't lean on Mearsheimer or provably false promises against NATO expansion [1], I'd be happy to continue.
I am not sure how that disproves your bias, respectively what that is even supposed to mean. I am not aware of any travel restrictions, so there's no "escape".
I am also not quite sure why you are so dismissive of Mearsheimer. But again, there will be little point in continuing the discussion.
I bothered taking a look at verisimi's earlier comments. It's absolutely clear that he has a strong pro-Russia position, and given how his account is 6 months old, it's possible that he's here only to spread pro-Russian talking points.
Continuing discussion with such people/russotrolls[0] is pointless, indeed. Too bad this site doesn't have a block user functionality.
I'm glad you did a little research on my history - all credit to you.
But I'm not glad you characterise me as a troll - its just not true. While I am not lining up to shout hate at "Russia" (as if all individuals who live in a place called 'Russia' line up behind Putin), I've no illusions that they are better than our Western governments - I'm sure they are as bad.
If you had dug a little deeper this would have become obvious to you.
If you were to try to characterise me as something, I'd thank you to get it right - I am anti-statist (aka anarchist). I see the state and any external governance as an immoral structure, with no legitimate authority over an individual. I will point you to this quote from Nietzsche to capture how I feel about all governance structures:
"A state, is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: "I, the state, am the people.""
But what of you? How easy is it for you to smear commentators of comments you don't like? Do you ever consider that your approach is outrageous and immoral? Is it ok to label someone as 'whatever-it-is-you-dont-like-today' and to be ignored rather than engage in a conversation?
Do you ever think that in calling for people to be de-platformed, you are in fact part of the problem?
