    Nevermind your "against science" nonsense which has no backing whatsoever. Rofl.

    How is democracy not against science? You mean Physical laws like Einstein's relative theory or Darwin's evolutionary theory should be democractic approved?

    Nice deflection. I'll ask again:

    Why were they willing to pay a higher price for oil before late February but are hesitant to buy it at a discount now? Could it be something to do with the invasion?

    Big ooph, imagine being this deep into propaganda and conspiracy theories.

    Democracy is messy, welcome to the realization that's been known since the times of ancient Greece. It's better than falling on some polonium laced bullets after accidentally falling down multiple flights of stairs and through a 5th story window.

    Also, has Russia now given up the pretense of being a democracy or something?

    Because you do not deal with violence under democracy any more since it has exploded at an uncontrollable level.

    That's US WTI. You need to look at Russia ESPO. $70 - $80 per barrel IS pre-pandemic price for ESPO.

    Because good science requires an open forum for peer discussion and review which is anathema to authoritarian states whose survival is predicated on suppression of truths the central power finds inconvenient. Have you seriously not read Orwell?

    Let's see. Non-democracies like China "re-educating" Uighurs, sending them to camps...That's anti-violence how? Lies? Like Russian/China state media spewing literal horseshit. Anti-science? Jesus Christ almighty if you draw a line between random Twitter people saying stupid shit and entire democratic world. Try saying stupid shit in Chinese/Russian social media that are anti-anything-the-goverment-likes, you're out for a trip to Siberia

    I am sorry that my simple words "fuck off" got your feeling hurt /s, it is absolutely hysterical you think simple words make me a violent people. If my language makes me violent, how do you feel about the Russian orcs you're defending and what they did in Bucha?

    It really hasn't. Despite what the news likes to claim society is significantly less violent than in previous eras.

    But I get that you're conveniently omitting violence by the state as falling under the umbrella of violence. Speaking of suppressing inconvenient truths.

    Ah yes, China state-approved videos. In a Russia vs Ukraine thread. You really don't like being unbanned do you?

    But surely you are right about things that the entire civilized world has proved against you.

    "Civilized world against a single person" HAHA. Just censorship like what authoritarian countries would do.

    Oh yeah China state-approved videos. How is BBC not UK state-approved propaganda machine? You only listen to one side and ignore another side?

    Something something "and you are lynching negroes." Old and tired whataboutism is old and tired.

    We're speaking about democracy in general, not its imperfect manifestations. Versus authoritarian states which are *always* violent against their citizens.

    Which is exactly what Russia is currently doing for example. Suppressing facts

    You don't even see the irony in question...But do keep on, I can guess your pro-China posts are being reported, NOT for being pro-China, but derailing this thread massively with entire screen covering array of propaganda videos...

    Always haha. I am sure democratic nations would be no less violent against their citizens than authoritarian regimes generally. But hey we just ignore the part of violence under democracy. ouch.

    BBC haha:


    Even donald trump knows western media are fake news.
