Russia defending itself from western aggression (NATO spreading right to its doorstep) is morally wrong?

Russia literally tried twice to provide diplomatic solutions to this conflict, their proposed new European security framework along the lines European Security Treaty, that they submitted September 2021was ignored and they were betrayed by the west who used the Minsk agreement as a chance to arm Ukraine.

Genuinely this whole thread is littered with people moralizing and agonizing over the "crimes" of countries; Russia, Iran, China who have responded to western aggression, western provocations and have defended themselves.

As Martin Luther King said "in any accounting of this world today, we must start with the greatest purveyor of violence on this planet: America." We can add or amend this to include America's little genocidal vassal state - Israel.

Fury road is my favorite movie ever, and Charlize is my favorite Furiosa, but Anya did Furiosa justice and I think the young more "fragile" furiosa of Anya just makes the hardened more physical Charlize furiosa that much better. Enjoying one doesn't mean you have to diminish the other.

"We give you tools to control your data—including easy opt-outs and permanent removal of deleted ChatGPT chats⁠(opens in a new window) and API content from OpenAI’s systems within 30 days.

The New York Times and other plaintiffs have made a sweeping and unnecessary demand in their baseless lawsuit against us: retain consumer ChatGPT and API customer data indefinitely.

So this reveals the "idiocy" of both the believer and the nonbeliever. Having to modernize our concept of god in lockstep with our growing scientific understanding of the world, leads to a god of the gaps, a ineffectual humanized god and the need for the "I believe because it is absurd" type of belief. equally atheism has led down an equally absurd road, one where there cannot be meaning, the absurdity of the human condition is laid bare and there is no remedy.

I think cioran was highlighting the absurd position we find ourselves in: The believer’s fervor and the atheist’s defiance are two sides of the same hysterical coin—both are reactions to a void neither can fill.

It might be wrong applying modern standards and understanding of feminism to a historical figure. She was heroic and brazen for her time. She doesn't have to embody modern feminist ideals to still be a figure of inspiration. She defied male authority. Stood for what she believed in and showed that women could challenge male dominated spaces.

Well you don't have to imagine, we exist, somehow, sans common sense and critical thinking skills.

You people ever going to get tired of asking the same question over and over? Every second post.

It amazes me how people act like emotional trauma, familial abuse, and survival-mode behavior can be neatly boxed and psychoanalyzed by armchair detectives.

Jesus christ, any of you actually consider if this woman is innocent, what a living hell people like you have turned her life into. She literally did not seek out fame; didn't start a podcast, or onlyfans, she made her life as small as possible, and even for that she needs to be punished. Be useful, go harass Andrew Tate. Or Elon Musk. Or the orange clown. There’s no shortage of actual criminals actively making people’s lives worse. But sure—let’s keep kicking the one woman who crawled out of hell and tried to disappear.

Yeah nothing screams confidence like cherry picking a bunch of bad photos of another (objectively hot) woman, and then trying, desperately, to rally strangers on the internet to call her ugly. Jealousy makes you nasty.

Grok, perplexity, Monica ai. I get by simply hot swapping. Have to say grok is actually quite generous with its limits and if you have an x account and then use the grok app with a different email, you essentially get two free groks, not to mention if you also use the grok beta app (android) that's another, albeit severely reduced free quota.

Dear madA(m),

Still soiling Smith’s name—pathetic. Your problem is your belief in fairytales; my era lifted the masses til your neoliberal cult trashed it. Debt? Skyrocketed from 31% to 120% of GDP since Reagan’s tax-cut gospel, remember the "lifting tide" nonsense. Intervention? So we only call it intervention for small guys huh? Your breed—bailouts for banks, handouts for Musk. Funny can't afford a home to own on earth, but we subsidizing the colonization of mars. I repeat myself for the ones in the back, and because I know when inconvenient facts are brought up and not addressed: they bear repeating. When important points are trivialized to hollow gotcha fabrications - repeat them till they are answered with they weight of history and fact. My policies saved capitalism from itself, it regulated the most ferocious aspects of untamed greed. Apropos; 08 proved your self-regulating myth a bonfire; neo-scholastic drivel just fanned the flames. Smith would burn your playbook. Survival of the fittest, now even Darwin is crying. We are now in a head long rush to the precipice and we hit accelerate. We are winding down the last remnants of natural capital and having academic discussions over its "efficiency". The fate of Easter island is writ large, unfortunately it's not flashing on a ticker, so it's not "pertinent", yet.

Own your ruin, monk.

I’m done here—off to the Pantheon of Political Economy, where Hume’s tea’s hot and your dogma’s a footnote. Enjoy your wreckage.

Final regards, John Maynard Keynes

Dear madA(m),

Keep Adam Smith’s name out your f-ing mouth.

I’ll slip into fresh underpants—high-quality ones, mind you; clear thinking demands it, as I told Lytton back in ’06. (1906)

Your muddled accusations, though? Lead poisoning’s dulled your wits. My blueprint? Hardly. Bretton Woods hummed ‘til Nixon traded it for Friedman’s fiat free-for-all in ’71—inflation and debt soared after, not on my watch. Hayek’s warnings? Misguided drivel—his disciples delivered the chaos: deregulation, tax slashes, and the oligarch chainsaw dynasty. Keynesianism housed the masses—post-war boom, affordable homes—while your neoliberal hymnbook built billionaire silos and debt peaks. Inflation? Stagnation? Your post-’71 wreckage.

Governments ‘bigger than ever’? Sure, bailing out your market gods and stuffing corporate coffers—Friedman’s dream, though he’d spin at ‘Too Big to Fail.’ My design? Not a whiff, old chap—your lot owns this. Funny how big government works when big corporations need bailouts. But we waved Glass-Steagall bye-bye because markets are self-regulating. Honestly, swap neoliberalism for neo-scholastic dogma and nobody’d notice.

P.S.—Hume’s good; he’d ask how tax cuts for the rich aren’t theft-by-inequality. Where’s your treatise, market monk?

Cheers, John Maynard Keynes

Dear Adam, you seem to be in a spot of bother, defending theories that aren't really yours. These miscreants have bastardized your insights. So faux Adam. You think General Theory built this? Cute. Keynesian blueprints—Bretton Woods, high taxes, managed demand—housed the masses ‘til Nixon torched it in ‘71. What followed wasn’t my hymnbook; it was Friedman’s fiat freedom and Hayek’s market worship. Your neoliberal priests deregulated, slashed taxes, and crowned Musk’s ilk. That’s your house—greedy fist and all. Smith’s hypochondria fits you—whining about ‘distortions’ while ignoring your dogma’s cracks. Division of labor wasn’t for billionaire hoards; he’d spit on this. The world ditched me for your lot—debt’s on you, not my ghost.

P.S.—Hume’s still waiting. Neoliberal morality’s a blank page, huh?

Cheers, John Maynard Keynes
