Ardennes posted:90% of people... in the sense the general population barely remembers there is a war in Ukraine. His criticisms of FF have been re-litigated many many many times. Unless the desire to challenge people to posting combat, what is there really to say? Meh, there comes a point where it’s not making a bad call (everyone makes bad calls), but when someone is wrong in a specific direction, repeatedly, it points toward either habitually consuming poor info sources or just having a bad understanding of how things work.

Ardennes posted:I think that is valid self-criticsm/improvement. This is a good example of inventing a version of me to get mad at. My takes have been pretty mild. I just never bought that Russia had awesome logistics and a Deep Battle path to victory and was on some rapid path to victory. I did think Russia would be able to eke out the Donbass before winter and didn’t see Kharkiv being liberated so readily. I was wrong there.

lmao if you think that ukraine is going to have russian speakers in it in 20 years. Any regions not under Russian control will be cleansed very quickly. Hell, since the regular people of Ukraine are willing to throw themselves into the death machine of neoliberalism so quickly and easily they don't even need a racialized underclass to run the factories like in in Small Israel, they've got the opportunity to wipe out the entire ethnicity and just throw the "white" people into the economically forced labour, right? I don't think there's going to be any actual opposition to wiping out the "collaborators" at this point, at least not by anyone with any political influence or power at all. Even the american left is mostly just anarchists who would love to watch Russian speakers wiped out, marxists are a tiny sliver of the already tiny american left.

They're supposedly sent to Gulagu.net, a Russian penal system whistleblower site. Which imo just shows Gulagu to lack credibility. Maybe it used to be good and it's just been incorporated into the western propaganda machine, idk.

Frosted Flake posted:It's been a strange experience because I'm not like a James Burton or Jackie Fisher reformer or whiz kid or anything like that, so finding even basic military knowledge at odds with a news cycle is a novel experience for me. I suppose I never thought of myself as being in a bubble or having specialized knowledge but the news cycle around Excalibur and the M777, I've never had regular people like my wife make claims about the business of gunnery, then get testy at my reaction. I don't know how to explain it, other than my experience and expertise, such as it is, went from being considered uncontroversial albeit dull to wrong, bordering on Russian Disinformation for as long as it took for the news to move onto the next thing. My dude, one of my clearest memories is being 15 years old, sat in my comfy chair in my room watching Colin Powell present to the UN the US case against Iraq and their weapons of mass destruction. A bunch of vague intercepted communications. Some anonymous intelligence sources. Satellite pictures of bunkers with trucks in front of them one day and no trucks some other day. Weird mockups of mobile bioweapons labs in trucks, and most preposterously in trains, so they could move around and be impossible for weapons inspectors to find. I remember getting up and grabbing my high school atlas and doing exactly what my high school geopgraphy class had taught me: look it up. So I flipped to the page which had the map of Iraq including its rail grid. Iraq had and has basically three loving rail lines. http://www.andrewgrantham.co.uk/images/iraq/iq-map-pol96.jpg All of this poo poo set off my bullshit alarm something fierce, and the mobile rail biolabs one was even one I could prove, in my room, using random loving high school supplies. The point is, liberal governments tell not just lies, but obvious lies, all the drat time. And liberal media will report those lies with all reverence and seriousness. And the liberal hoi polloi will lap that poo poo up. And if you try to refute the obvious lies you need a whole bunch of paragraphs of dry facts and background to make your case. If there's one thing spending way too much time argueing on the internet for the last 2 decades has taught me, it's that if you write a bunch of paragraphs (like I'm doing now lol), you've already lost. Because liberals don't give a solitary gently caress about facts. We are the atypical ones for caring about facts. The thing that's been tripping me up ever since is fully dealing with the fact that friends, family, neighbours, colleagues, just all the regular people I meet in my day to day life seeming to be decent and generally intelligent enough people *are* those liberal hoi polloi. For an example, I very much enjoy Dutch cabaret, which is very similar but not exactly the same as Anglo stand up comedy. I've sat in my home towns packed theater listening to a comedian go into great detail on how exactly our government sucks, fucks us over and lies about it to standing ovations and cheers of thousands of adults more times than I can remember. Then when the next elections roll around, I am one of a literal handful who votes for meaningful change. So many discussions with people grumbling about politics and politicians, yet when it comes down to it, none of them mean a word of it. It still breaks my brain sometimes.

You almost never make any "calls," though. You generally just imply that everyone on both sides is exaggerating. This is basically what I also do (the "not making any big calls" part), but I don't try to claim that this is because I'm more correct - I'm just "technically less wrong" because I'm averse to staking out significant claims. And the claims about stuff like Russian artillery weren't really wrong, since Ukraine took massive and almost certainly disproportionate casualties and wasn't able to progress for many months. It's just that Russia wasn't willing to endure the casualties of fighting once Ukraine finally managed to make a significant offensive. And basic ideas that were frequently mocked like "Russia could be blowing more stuff up and are choosing not to" turned out to be completely correct when they only semi-recently started destroying utility infrastructure.

so we're just supposed to ignore that they picked the in-game Stalker faction that is called Svoboda? The same name as the (former I guess) Neo Nazi party in Ukraine? maybe the air-soft enthusiasts were pro-Ukrainian saboteurs.. who knows. Shouldn't have killed the poor lads either way but I suppose there is a good chance there were just socially isolated and unbalanced people like the typical airsoft enthusiasts

I just thought it was a funny coincidence that the article explains away the symbol as being not connected to a neo-Nazi Ukrainian political movement when what it actually is happens to share a name with another neo Nazi Ukrainian political movement. And who knows, maybe the Volya people chose that symbol for their banner too lol

Everyone with half a brain remember how much that Powell talk was BS. I recall the NY Times being all in on it to. And you guys forgot one of the nicest deranged part of CnC Generals (best RTS of the 2000 if you ask me) In the original version USA had a prison building used for interrogating prisoners, making a map reveal for X seconds. Then the Abhu Grhaib prison party got out and they removed it from the game with a stealth patch. That game had everything going for the terrorist faction: the Anthrax craze with sludge spewing tractors, secret hidden bases, a sniper dude who's totally not Juba and technicals.

When I was younger, I keyed a car because it had an iron cross decal on it. I was drunk and my friends were begging me not to and it seemed like bravery at the time and at the time I felt so proud. Now, there are fascist slogans on every other loving car - I just cannot carve enough dicks. What's the point? They'd take it as vindication anyway.
