Russian invasion of Ukraine

[Kokolums]

Fuck, that first line is mega stupid. Where is this "global consensus" done? I'm betting it's truth social or the BBQs you hold with your compound buddies while playing horse shoes.

Russia, China, India, the entire Muslim world, the BRICs nations and about 50 nations applying to BRICs are all in agreement that liberals are nazis. Haven't you noticed that when biden talks about having a coalition of world leaders on his side, the "world" is always just a select few western European nations?

So no source? Why am I not surprised?

In modern times, the global consensus is that liberals are now nazis targeting whites and putin speeches refer to this.

Russia views all of their enemies as Nazis. Partially because the actual Nazis wanted to exterminate them after they finished killing all of the Jews. The other part is that its a convenient way to villainize your enemies. No one likes Nazies.

Of course modern Russia has actual Nazis fighting for them, is perfectly willing to commit genocide and their own Night of Long Knives has been going on for a long time.

I'm curious to what "liberals" means to you when you use it in context like this. It's very strange to equate it with such hateful terms.
To me, and I think many others it means "fair and equal rights for all regardless of religion, gender or race." Is that what you are claiming half the world is so angry about?

[Wilian]

Now you know the definitions. German nazis targeted the jews in the 1930s. In modern times, the global consensus is that liberals are now nazis targeting whites and putin speeches refer to this. The decision has been made. They are coming to kill what they view as liberal nazis and they aren't going to stop because we can't live in a world with nazis. Whether you agree or disagree with the definitions is irrelevant. I'm just informing you of the state of affairs.

Hopefully they target you, a poster in liberal internet in liberal website.

Well, this has successfully been derailed into -

"Liberals are Nazis and having trans kids or black people live their lives literally means whites are in concentration camps" argument.
@what is moderation doing?

Busy defending the IDF with the Nuremberg Defense in the Israel thread. Duh.

Kokolums used to just drop a single deranged post here and run away. Now for some reason he decided to linger and man, I did not miss that. This shit is not even funny. I do wonder a little how people like him operate IRL.

People should learn to ignore kokolums. He's either an utterly delusional idiot or a complete troll. I'm actually leaning for the former myself.

Kokolums serves two purposes:
1 - People can post useful counter arguments. You’re not enlightening him but you might give the rest of us something useful.
2 - Mockery. There’s only a few wing nuts left. We need something more direct to make fun of.

A normal human being would be expected to not believe this random-ass giga-conspiracy shit that comes out of Kokolum's mouth, but they DO exist. Even I personally know people who are 100% whataboutism over EVERY ARGUMENT alongside some less than sane opinions about Russia or Trump. The less chances for the gullible fools to get validated online that they're not alone in their madness, the better...They can feel persecuted for all I care, you just cannot change the minds of the deranged, but you should not have to see them taint the flow of information.

I'd rather just ban people like Kokolums permanently since all they do is to post this tinfoil hat shit instead of having to re-post every counter-argument known to mankind that was already posted within the last 1000 pages, usually against the same posters. If you have a pest problem, why just remove the cockroaches one at a time peacefully until they return, instead of fumigating and killing them instantly?

A second su34 has been claimed for the day. I'm loosing count now. I think that is up to 14?

[Iphie]

I think so, yes. Should we start a breeding programme or something like that? Wouldn't want the species to go extinct... Joking aside, it's an impressive rate of destruction.

I remember when his shtick was just complaining about how WoW was becoming anti-social but then he learned we had a politics section and now we're here...

I've seen some theories on just how Ukraine is pulling off such large numbers of shoot downs. Currently the A50 fleet is not flying after the loss of those 2 earlier, and without them russian planes aren't getting early warning of incoming missiles anymore - the timeline works for that. There is also the fact that early n the year a couple of SU34s went down over Ukraine and Ukrainian (and American) technicians have been able to study the avionics and electronics of the planes and are using what they have found to target the su34s.

russia has made only about 150 of them, so if the clams are true they've lost 10% in a week. 25 have been confirmed lost already during the war.

The counter-arguments are the same every time; stop believing insane stuff, because reality doesn't work that way. But he doesn't stop, either because he's a troll who doesn't believe or because he's actively delusional and does genuinely think that BRICS is some Cobra-esque organisation primed and ready to invade the USA purely to oust those darn liberals that he hates so damn much. It's a mentality that takes absolutely silly stuff like Call of Duty, Homefront or GI Joe at face value and has no grounding in the real world whatsoever.

[Corvus]

Ukraine is reporting that for 4 hours not a single russian plane is active over eastern Ukraine, the first time it has happened since the war started. Maybe there is something to all those losses reported.

Let's hope it's not the calm before the storm.

A real banger was @Kokolums claiming that Governor Abbott of Texas was going to call on Russia and the other "non-woke bastion countries" to help defend Texas from Mexicans. Or him claiming that Russian-friendly South American nations would be used as a staging point for an invasion of the USA.

One of the most aggravating things about these right-wing loons is that they never really say what they believe. You have to pick it apart through the crazy drivel and doomsaying to extract the things they glom onto most. Because he's not "predicting" those things will happen, he's hoping that they happen. What dangerous moronic world view is so scared of... I don't even know... that they delude themselves into believe this nonsense?

Like, @Kokolums when you return from your forum vacation, I implore you... what aspect of "the left" has you so incensed that you're willing to believe literal insanity? Are you afraid of gay people? Minorities? Illegal aliens? "Socialism?" Can you show us on the doll where big mean leftists hurt you? Or did you just really not like that they made the latest star wars protagonist a girl and you just fell down the insane rabbit hole from there?

Apparently there's some unrest in Russian colony of Ingushetia; there has been firefights between Russian military and local militias throughout the night. Hopefully unrest like this would spread along the minority groups.
