It's incredibly ironic that you talk about agreement and openmindedness and "being able to think".
You can't discuss this. I hope for other reasons than lying about supporting Ukraine. But you did argue something that is Russian propaganda. Perhaps you knew it was, perhaps you didn't. But it definitely is.
Now you're refusing to answer whether you believe those things like Russia claiming a >99% voting turnout and support for Russia? Who's the closeminded person here. I'm willing to find out what's actually happened. What you're doing is pure ad hominem against me. You're saying "no-one will ever talk with you". But.. they do, all the time. People like you making statements like that are always wrong, and the worst is that you have to know it as well, but still decide to write that.
It would literally be dangerous to Ukraine to accept Russian propaganda as equal to fact. So if you actually do support Ukraine, perhaps stop spreading Russian propaganda (even if you do it accidentally)? If you refuse to look at the facts, then just don't talk about the subject at all. But do not assert things like "oh yeah they want to be Russians" and then have a tantrum about 'not being allowed to have a polite disagreement' when someone shows that's complete and utter bullshit.
Think whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
If you feel happy thinking that you spotted an evil Russian spy, so be it.
I'm just unwilling to talk about people who made clear that anyone not agreeing 100% on everything with them is the ENEMY, and HITLER supporters, and a RUSSIAN APOLOGISTS. And all the funny names you had against me.
Have fun in your echo chambers.
I would have a great debate about the conflict in Ukraine, because as I said, it's a complex issue, and complex issues are worth talking about from a wide variety of points of view. Just not worth it with you (knowing that as soon as I say something that's not 100% what you think you'll start throwing names and making Hitler comparisons), sorry.
Childish absolutism. It's genuinely very ironic you talk about openmindeness and "ability to think". (Try using the words "capacity to reason" next time, sounds smarter.)
You're strawmanning and adhominimininiminimionimg while ignoring literally every single thing I said. You're the stubborn one who isn't open for discussion.
Saying "Ukrainians in occupied Ukraine want to be Russians" while we have clear evidence they're being forced at gunpoint to vote and Russia publishing figures saying >99% voter turnout and support for Russia? I should be like "okay, yes, I respect your opinion and we can respectfully disagree on this, as it doesn't matter that what you're saying is dangerous disinformation and what I say can be factually backed up very easily"? That's what you want?
That would be "open discussion" to you?
No, you clearly can't have a debate about the conflict in Ukraine. You're actively avoiding debating it, and the one thing you said about Ukraine, I looked up and tried to "discuss" with you and you had a tantrum and deny everything and refuse to address how Russia is forcing Ukrainians to vote at gunpoint.
You are right in that there isn't a reasonable discussion to be had here, because you're stubbornly refusing to understand anything that isn't one of your shitty fallacies.
Ah, childhish.
You want something childhish? I didn't even read past that word.
Now I'm blocking you.
I'm just saying so you spare your fingers from a lengthy response that I won't be seeing.
I don't hold grudges, so I will unblock you in a few days. I just don't want to keep reading you right now.
Have a great day!
Exactly my point.
Why even reply with "I didn't even read that and I'm gonna block you"? What would you call that, if not "childish"?
Actively avoiding me pointing out you — perhaps on accident, but did nonetheless — spread Russian propaganda about occupied Ukraine wanting to be Russians, when we have a lot of evidence that's incorrect.
