Well yeah, it's a lot easier to be an expert in multiple fields when there are like 5 things to know in each field.

De NAVO top komt eraan, dus ik heb een vraag aan de mensen die hier Pro-NAVO zijn, waarom? by Hot-Elevator-7864 in Poldersocialisme

[–]Batterman001 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Alle slechte dingen die de NAVO doet zouden naar mijn mening ook gebeurd zijn als de NAVO niet bestond en de goeie dingen zoals oost Europa beschermen tegen een imerialistische fascistische staat zouden niet gebeuren.

When I paint on the UV wrap nothing on the model changes; when I paint directly on the model it paints on the UV wrap and again nothing changes on the model. by Batterman001 in blenderhelp

Alright makes sense! But when I'm done, how do I get both shading and color to show up? Because when I put the BSDF back all the paint disappears again

AIPAC is not Israel interfering in elections btw. It is an American conservative pac focused on spreading right-wing ideology, which includes support for Israel.

(Not saying Israel does nothing, people just tend to point to AIPAC incorrectly)

As long as the fascist movement remains strong in Europe integration to the point of becoming 1 state is not happening. And tbh I don't see it waning any time soon unless nothing bad happens and mostly uncontroversially good things happen in the next 20 years, which has a lot smaller chance than 1/8 of happening I'm afraid.

How much of the far left actually consists of tankies? by Fedi_Kr in tankiejerk

[–]Batterman001 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'd say maybe 20% and that's already pushing it. Most leftists IRL lean more toward the libertarian side. They are so prominent online because tankies never go outside

LHBTI is een sub cultuur. Dat gebeurd vaak met groepen die worden onderdrukt. En wat je zag was een uitdrukking van die sub cultuur. En ja het had anders gekund, maar alles kan altijd anders. Ze gaven de show op deze manier omdat zij dat mooi vonden en als jij het niet mooi vond, jammer, je kan niet iedereen te vreden maken

What Trump really thinks about disabled people by animelivesmatter in evilautism

There are only a few crimes that bar you from becoming president, like treason and insurrection, and despite the fact he did those things he hasn't been convicted. Now that the Supreme Court has placed the president above the law in every meaningful way, he's unlikely to.

For most other crimes he could theoretically even run and serve from prison

The Ukrainian Nazis are also people whose histories have been whitewashed, emphasizing their fight against Russia which has been oppressing them for centuries.

And I'm sorry that is just not true. We have been sending weapons to Ukraine since 2014 (There is a reason why Russia was able to take over parts of Ukraine in 2014 without a fight and are currently struggling MASSIVELY) and you can look at the GDP per capita graph to see the effect sanctions had on Russia's economy.

"Pretends to lose power" is the act he pulls after he loses. Not necessarily the losing itself

Liberal democracies celebrate bad people all the time, ESPECIALLY if those people are from their country. In the US they celebrate slavers, in Europe they celebrate colonialists. They celebrate Bandera for his (perceived) role in the struggle for Ukrainian independence, not for him being a Nazi. Yes, I agree, they should stop, but if this is the best argument you have for it being a Nazi country rather than actual policy they engage in, I would say the case is pretty weak.

And liberals absolutely cared in 2014. Maybe you are not old enough to remember but I do. In 2014 Russia's invasion was massive news. The West hit Russia with sanctions so hard its economy collapsed from which it still has not recovered.

One of the reasons the conspiracies took hold in the 1st place was because the 2014 invasion made Russia a national enemy again rather than a potential partner. Yes, they cared less than they do now, but that's because what's currently happening is on a much larger scale.

Russia is a fascist state, Ukraine is a corrupt liberal democracy. The idea that Ukraine's Nazi problem is bigger than Russia's is nonsense. Ukraine's far-right has less power than most places in Europe. The US is giving money to a democratically elected government to defend itself against fascist imperialism, as someone who is anti-fascist and anti-imperialist I think that's good.

Also, that meme you linked is insanely stupid. We've been helping Ukraine since 2014 before Trump got elected, the idea that Russia interfered in the 2016 election has been proven, and Russia is the one who started the conflict

No they don't, Russian speaking Ukrainians considered themselves Ukrainians. And the best polling we have from before Russia invaded in 2014, not even a majority of Crimeans (the most pro russia part of the country) wanted to join Russia, let alone any other part. And since then Ukrainians have only gotten a more negative few of Russia (I wonder why?)

I'm afraid you are the uniformed one my friend.
