NY Times just casually dropped that the official U.S. intelligence assessment has always been that Putin didn't want to expand the Ukraine conflict beyond Ukraine

      They literally think the Russian brainpan is incapable of comprehending democracy due to them assimilating Mongolo-Asiatic authoritarianism genes in the time they were under Mongol rule so probably, yeah.

        Missed all the fun being out for the evening. I just want to inform you that I am not even exaggerating for comedic purposes that much, here is a random video found by typing “mongol influence on russian culture” on google and clicking the video tab. It features bangers such as “It has been several hundred years in their genetic inheritance that authoritarianism is the only solution”.

              be specific

              if you’re referring to the specific thing about Asians (and Russians in particular) having some inherent desire for authoritarian figures, I have personally seen this idea in the book Everything Flows by Vasily Grossman.

                  I actually kinda liked Everything Flows, the first half at least. The second half descends very quickly into incoherent anti-Russian/Soviet rants but the vignette about the Old Bolshevik being sent to the labor camp was very moving.

                Replying to a comment is not specific enough an example for you? Do you think I’m referring to a random comment in a different post or something?

                  Okay, so what about the comment do you take issue with? Do you not believe it is a widely-disseminated idea in the west that Russians & Asians are inherently predisposed toward authoritarianism?

                  Is this a good enough reply? Why not engage with that part of their comment?

              Have you read the comments on reddit-logo?

              It got so bad the mods banned using ‘Orcs’ as the term to refer to Russians with in the early days of the war. And many redditors cried about that.

              We can argue the semantics of what exact type of dehumanizing language was used, but the overarching point remains.

                  Then what’s your complaint here, exactly? People are shitposting and being somewhat hyperbolic, but a lot of liberals have considered Russians subhuman morons since at least the beginning of this war

              I don’t see why anyone is even bothering engaging this person with good faith. They’re just “trolling” the same way people did back decades ago. Adding “lol” or “lmao” on to everything to pretend they’re not upset, not reading anything, calling everyone stupid no matter what is said, always saying “I’m sitting here laughing at you” to again pretend they’re not upset. They all ended up being incels and I wouldn’t be surprised if this is no different

      I particularly love the fact that libs simultaneously believe that Russia is on a brink of collapse and about to roll over Europe as soon as it’s done with Ukraine. They see no contradiction there.

        He has also said that he is proud to have been the first black woman to serve with a black president.

        In general, I would not associate Biden with the word ‘intelligence’.

        And yeah, no, if Putin was trying to reestablish the USSR, he would be much better than he is. An anti-colonial power that massively improves its people’s lives? Sign me up.

            Considering that Biden is a lib, your reply, at best, supports the comment that you were replying to.

            Furthermore, you seem to think that this point about Biden somehow contradicts the fact that ‘NY Times just casually dropped that the official U.S. intelligence assessment has always been that Putin didn’t want to expand the Ukraine conflict beyond Ukraine’

                Most of us are pretty skeptical he actually did think so, especially considering a lot of experts in his circle have said things that contradict it. Case in point: the article being discussed.

        He also managed to mumble this out during the debate a week ago, too. However, we can’t be sure Biden even knows what year it is, so it’s unclear if he still believes this hilarious lie or if he thinks it’s 2022.

      Ögedei didn’t even tried to take Europe, it was a really big scout party which casually obliterated every army they encountered, arrived at Hungary, seen the pushta and considered staying because it reminded them of home and then went back because khan died and new one had to be elected. In the meantime collective Europe was thrown into a state of abject terror not known since Attila the Hun. But of course as soon as it passed, islamophobia kicked in, they started to blabber about Prester John and tried to use Mongols against muslims.

    Still not as embarrassing as angular-merkel admitting the Minsk agreements were all just to buy time for Ukraine.

    The original narratives about Ukraine no longer matter, the only thing left in the collective consciousness is Ukraine is a democracy therefore the war is about “western values”. The good thing is since then even a good part liberals don’t care about that anymore, its impossible to manufacture a narrative that Ukraine is winning right now, at best they “resisting” evil Putler and Zelensky does nothing but beg for more aid.

        I don’t think liberals could have had a worse week. The cracks in their dome are apparent and aren’t going away. Some people are checking out, some people are saying “enough” to the constant stream of bullshit right to their faces. /R/politics is a hoot right now.

        But do they change anything about their approach? Of course not.

              I mean, for them to stop believing in their ideology, they’d have to find something else to believe in. What would that even be? Most of them are probably innoculated against ideas left of Mussolini due to the constant government programming happening on reddit, so they’d either become anarchobidenists and believe 95% of the same things by saying to themselves “anarchism is when you hate authoritarian governments (read: governments who are resistant to being totally rolled over by American monopolies) and love western democracies. who the fuck is kropotkin? gelderloos? I’m listening to a 3 hour video essay by a breadtuber”

              or, I guess, they’d turn even further conservative and/or libertarian and start frothing at the mouth about the federal reserve and age of consent laws

                In my observations on Libs, I think the biggest challenge for them is that they fundamentally trust the institutions that govern our society. In order to believe in something else, they would have to break that trust on a fundamental level. But that trust underpins their entire worldview, so in doing so they would not only have to fundamentally alter their core values, but also in doing to have to admit that they have been wrong about everything their entire lives. That’s a pretty tall order.

              I’d argue that mainstream libs represent the segment of the population that still hasn’t been significantly affected materially. They still have their jobs, they can pay their bills, and there really hasn’t been any dramatic change in their lifestyle. They also tend to stay in their bubble avoiding interaction with people who are struggling. This segment of the population is rapidly shrinking though, and we can see them starting to freaking out that their voices are increasingly challenged nowadays. It’s a huge shock for them that their narrative can’t spread unchallenged.

    No, it was always this way. We always knew this. The way the government is admitting things are is the same as what they’ve been saying all along. Your left-wing views always make you say paranoid stuff like this. This is not an unexpected departure from the official line. The only people who were trying to scare us about how Europe could be invaded next were misinformed marginal figures, not the actual authority figures who always had a reassuring firm grip and level gaze toward reality. If it were really a big change then someone would make a big deal about it, and I don’t see anybody making a fuss.

    If you use an ounce of critical thinking it was always clear NATO wants a war with Russia, not the other way around.

          I thought they were letters from another alphabet or something, had no idea they were just another font.

            It’s the thing where similar-looking letters are taken from other alphabets to make fancy looking letters. The not-O there is a Greek letter, for example, specifically I think it’s lowercase Sigma.

            Ironically, given Yog is a Russophone and people do this with Cyrillic all the time, much to the chagrin of those who can read Cyrillic.

              A very mean, and sometimes fun, trick to play on others in a collaborative programming environment is to randomly replace semicolons with Greek question marks and watch them slowly descend into madness during debugging.

                Captcha: Type these letters (and its just ones, capital I’s and lowercase l’s in that font where they all look the same)

              As a person with a math degree (meaning that I’m an expert on the Greek alphabet), I confirm, that is lowercase sigma.
