  • “Turkey, for example, is more interested in playing the role of a middle power between the West and Russia while expanding its own influence in the Middle East, often openly sympathizing with Islamists groups such as Hamas whose fighters have been receiving medical treatment in Turkey. This is quite remarkable, considering that Nato’s original purpose was as a defense against the Soviet Union, and that Article 5 (stating that an armed attack against one member state shall be considered an attack against all member states) of the North Atlantic Treaty has only been invoked once in the 75-year history of the alliance. In that case, it was against the violent Islamism of al-Qaeda after 9/11.”

    I am going to gouge my eyes out.



  • Radio silence for me too. I don’t want to take the credit, but I think it might’ve been me who chased them off. I pointed out the obvious, that Ukraine had been shelling the Donbass for eight years prior to Russia’s “aggression,” and they had this truly galaxy-brained take. In case you didn’t see it…

    “Oh, you’re saying that if a country bombs itself they should be invaded? Well what about American mass shootings?? I guess Canada should invade us over Sandy Hook, etc., right tankie?”

    And upon my clowning on him for likening mass shootings by private citizens to sanctioned bombardment by a conventional military force, he conveniently disappeared. Maybe he realized how idiotic that was and ghosted to save face. But given his prior behavior, I’m not sure he’s even capable of that.



  • I honestly cannot get my head around it. I have never argued with someone consecutively for more than like fifteen minutes, not even about Gaza. Meanwhile this guy has been going for hours just hitting refresh. If you google “terminally online,” this guy’s picture pops up.

    I think the most remarkable thing about this one is their insistence that they’re “done arguing with the red fash tankie scum” and just not committing at all. It’s just bizarre. I responded to his comment, and I was certain he would see and read it eventually since they sees to be the kind of person who can’t help themselves. But literally within minutes they read it and responded. I couldn’t believe it.

    I got tested for ADHD a while back, and the shrink administered a very basic impulse exam to me, where if the dot flashed below the line, you didn’t click, and if it flashed above, you clicked. This guy would click without a flash. They would just mash the button, I’m sure. It is so funny.
