        I’m already aware of what the words mean, it was a jab at the way that relying on chatbots for information damages people’s ability to think.

            • I actually accused OP of uncritical support (which means supporting someone/something without any criticism).

            • Russia is an imperialist state. The fact that other states are also imperialists doesn’t change this fact in any way.

            Current homework:

            • Ask yourself why you are jumping to the defense of someone who constantly shills for an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy.

              No you attacked a straw man.

              Russia is an imperialist state. The fact that other states are also imperialists doesn’t change this fact in any way.

              No you don’t know what imperialism is and yes Russian is a capitalist hellscape(thank you USA) but it’s not imperialist. Redo your homework

              Additional homework:

              • research the multiples definitions of authoritarian and answer how any definition is any different than us-foreign-policy

              Ask yourself why you are jumping to the defense of someone who constantly shills for an authoritarian capitalist oligarchy.

              Sometimes OP post something relevant or correct but people hit themselves in confusion after too much critical damage thinking.

                Who’s attacking straw men now? When did I ever insinuate that the US/EU/anyone else were in some way better than Russia? And what the fuck does skin colour have to do with any of this?

                  The emote is because the use of authoritarian is quite arbitrary the okay ones are government the not okay are authoritarian regimes. Because you called Russia authoritarian, which is yeah is authoritarian like any other country, and the entire conversation is written in libspeak language I’m assuming it’s has a bias to that word.

                    So, you haven’t actually responded to what I’ve said, you’ve instead responded to an imaginary bogeyman saying different things from what I’ve said?

                    Because I never said anything in support of any government whatsoever, so you’ve basically just admitted to arguing in bad faith. Shame on you for trying to call me a racist though, resorting to insults just demonstrates the fact that you don’t have a coherent point to make.
