I bought this account to post while on a 30 day probation and wasn’t caught til after it ended, and I’ve never logged out/logged back in with the other on this particular device. I try to mostly browse the lighthearted threads and make less serious contributions with this one vs the other and make it a point not to post in the same thread with both as that’d be a valid instance of sockpuppeting. I’m not sure why people get so bent out of shape about it tbqh, they should be engaging with contributions based on their quality and merit as opposed to keeping Enemies Lists.

EEKA GEEK posted:Bad faith is a fake idea to begin with. Sincerity has no impact on veracity You could have what you think is an ironclad take on things but if you can't be open to opposing views and instead wield it as a gotcha logic trap then why should anyone engage with it? This isn't even directed specifically at you, but good faith/bad faith is pretty fundamental to any discussion. If it's not an exchange of ideas coming from a place of intellectual curiosity then why bother, the conclusion has already been reached

A free exchange of ideas will yield more good by assuming positive intent than by dismissing opposing voices as acting disingenuously

I guess it also depends on if it's a debate or a discussion. Two very different dynamics.

This forum is built on the back of trolling and shitposting. Assuming the other idiot is a disingenuous gently caress is about as sensible as assuming that an email selling dick pills is trying to scam you.

EEKA GEEK posted:Bad faith is a fake idea to begin with. Sincerity has no impact on veracity But true things can absolutely be used by bad actors in manipulative and confusing ways. Cherry-picking is a term that exists for just such an occasion. For example, Putin invading Crimea and taking part of Ukraine, and then reacting to the Ukraine's subsequent building of arms afterwards (and the Ukrainian nationalist militias that action united) as if Ukraine is threatening them and thus have to take action for their preservation. Is it true Ukraine was arming up? Yeah because Russia decided to just shift a border and take part of the Ukraine in 2014. But if you just include the facts Ukraine was arming and it had nationalists, you can easily paint an argument for the larger and more powerful nation actually being the victim here and needing to attack the Ukraine in self-defense.

StrangersInTheNight posted:But true things can absolutely be used by bad actors in manipulative and confusing ways. Cherry-picking is a term that exists for just such an occasion. Regarding Crimea- a bit of interesting history in that peninsula. It was part of Russia proper until 1954 at which point it was administered to the Ukraine by the USSR. After 1991 they actually voted to join Russia, to which Ukraine said “nah”- thankfully, for whatever reason, Russia’s annexation in 2014 was not seen as worth starting a nuclear war over (even if Ukraine ended up cutting off water for irrigation to Crimea as a punitive measure for acquiescing to Russia, whom like those in the DPR and LNR, they felt a stronger connection to). Ukraine at large after 1991 and until 2014, Russia pretty much left to its own devices as it could barely manage its own internal affairs following the controlled demolition of communism. For all the supposed incompetence of the Russian intelligence apparatus, they really did make a huge blunder by not at least monitoring events in the neighbouring countries, never mind influencing them. As long as Russia went along with the west’s economic interests there was little overt militaristic antagonism from them, and thus no apparent urgency for Russia in setting up a defensive posture in the post-Soviet sphere. One consequence of this laissez faire attitude towards its former co-states was the unchecked rise of extremist nationalist elements like for example Azov. While every country has its own small contingent of racists, most people do not hold those sentiments and Ukraine is no different. However the worst elements of those nationalists began causing harm to Ukrainians who still closely identified with Russian culture, language, and heritage- thus Russia began its belated and heavy-handed response to drive out the (now armed) nationalists who’s goals had metamorphosed from independence to violence. Now we find out from the leaders of the day that the peace agreements they brokered were apparently not done in good faith- that is, the goal was always to buy time for Ukraine to get strong enough to fight and defeat Russia singlehandedly. It seems that Putin chose to attack when he did to pre empt the possibility of a soft entry for Ukraine into nato and the EU- a chance that would be lost once Ukraine gained the protection of the former, his own army’s readiness be damned. But it crystallized the conflict early on in that these accessions are not possible now, and possibly not even if the conflict ends- at least not without very unfavourable terms for the people of Ukraine. All this “aid”, lethal or otherwise, comes with huge strings attached that will be ruinous not just in the immediate aftermath but for the foreseeable future. The ultimate goal for the west is not to help the people of Ukraine, but to hobble the people of Russia- in this so called great humanitarian crusade, the primary help we’re sending is stuff that’s only job is to hurt and kill humans. That’s the part that makes me sick, so you’ll hear no cheering from me regardless of who “wins”. So yeah, I try to avoid cherry picking for sure

Arguing about Ukraine is really kind of off-topic for the thread, and your post looks like bait. Don't do this again.

See if you're coming down on the 'West's' goals vs Ukraine's then you're just stuck in American hyper-individualism where we are the center of everything. I got a bone to pick with leftisits who kneejerk the if it helps the West in any capacity it's automatically bad and to be rejected and thus reject the actual takes of the people involved. Like how folks would say for a while that criticism of Maduro was just bullshit Western anti-leftism until realizing Venezuelan leftists actually do not like him as he's much more authoritarian than Chavez and it's not just the West trying to depose of a communist leader planting stories that the people don't like him. Seeing a bunch of white Western people ignore the input of Venezuelan leftists online and condescendingly tell them about what's best for them, or worse accuse them of them of being CIA opps whose goal is to hurt their country(!!!) was wild and egotistical AF, so consider: maybe you don't actually know what's best for people halfway across the world, but are also centering your position as in the manner of the hero self that is central to vain Western hyper-individualism as a culture, which is why you're intent to cast yourself as someone who sees through the West's efforts to make this seem humanitarian as that is apparently your greatest concern - how it possibly benefits us, and how that it can be spun in the press. In the end, it's always about the US for you, inside of your brain. I'll take my probe. StrangersInTheNight fucked around with this message at 12:10 on Mar 4, 2023 |
