That was said exactly when that guy first came years ago. I'll bet my money ( via Wero or not ) the whole movement will be shattered by an " European-friendly " governement. Perhaps private companies will still retain a bad sentiment, who knows, everything else will be business as usual.

Yeah the concept of "Western" is a relic of the Cold war, just like Western Europe / Eastern Europe ( past some countries being genuinely there ) It's still taught like that to younger people, but definitely shouldn't.

Until such governements have already loopholes to circumvent rules of law, I'm as sad as the next guy but the EU technically has that.

I hope he just read the same news that stated the Russian economy was more than capable just like Germany. That it had a lot of industries, natural resources, and above all relatively autonomous and so on ... and per Bloomberg own report, a sanction Fortress. I just hope he didn't conveniently skip that.

You know what, I'm so sad, you just came up with a wild claim and you can't prove it with simple words, I wasn't asking you for the moon.

I feel like nobody can read the actual definition of this term, and how and why it is used in a conversation.

You gave me a duckduckgo link, thinking I was your Old Uncle. Thanks Bob, I know how to search the web. That's problematic for you because there is still no metric you can provide to back up your claim, I don't know it should be trivial to find one no ?

The burden of the proof is on yours, I've never ever stated the Russian economy was "A-OK". I'm equally surprised by your first comment, and the fact you pull this out of nowhere with that much of a confidence.

Pointing hypocrisy in that particular case.

No I asked a metric or something substancial to back up this claim, here is another one since I can smell British humour here : https://duckduckgo.com/?q=is+the+earth+flat

>14k Donbas civilians that have been slaughtered by Azov battalion since 2014.

It seems you didn't read the datas very well, it's ~14k in total in Donbas from both sides, not only civilians. And surely not by Azov.

Oh yes please, I mean if it was that obvious I guess you would tell me any metric to push your assessment.

It's a bit of both really, the far-right extremists helped the Maidan regime change, so the paramilitary made themselves at home inside the governement and in many areas in this country ( remember, that's a large country, divided and diverse ). Now ? I really don't know, but if you happen to see any report before February 2022 you could have your questions answered easily. Without them, the revolution wouldn't be successful. Reports dating back to 2014-2015 clearly show children being educated in a strange manner, when it was kind of allowed to say the complicated truth inside this nation.

Now ? I think it's too late, your question sounds bizarre, Russia is indeed helping them. But I guess there are quite a few pro-separatists NGOs out there. Not the ones aligned with Kiev though, so they are leaning pro-Russia.

nailed it. That's a bias I'm surprised very few people are able to grasp in the Internets, the same urban liberals ( from any country really ) or higher class tend to favor Western social networks, or be simply pro-Western, thus completely biaising the " I'm [Insert your nationality here] .. blablabla " It's especially rampant on Global South or emerging countries, while the richer people can actually afford slacking on Reddit responding to a mostly Anglophone audience.

Sure, hold accountable people that didn't choose where were they born and obviously weren't alive to witness the pattern you're trying to state right now.

>to be used to help the already poor Russian economy.

I really would like a citation here.

Same boat here, the only reason I switch DDG to Google was to find more relevance on programming / CS issues. But I feel like it's getting worse.

Depends on how people generally act on a given society I guess. Some are definitely warmer than others.

Exactly, this sounds like a story I could have in my life, and I'm also a complete introvert. I could socialize but basically my battery drains a lot quicker than my peers.

Yes sometimes it's sneaky, some aren't even hiding they stalked you before engaging a conversation.

Thanks, today I learnt the equivalent !

There is a saying in French, "La liberté des uns s'arrête là où commencent celle des autres". I'm not sure if it's known in English, I never read it online that's for sure, so I just roughly translated word by word :

The freedom of someone ends where the freedom of others begins.

Basically saying that living in a stable society is like signing a contract to restrain your liberty of doing anything when it's proved harmful for the others.

> It's widely suspect that not having the American flag on the moon landing in the movie "First Man" was to cater to the Chinese market.

I didn't watch that movie, I guess it surprised you as an (allegedly ?) American the same way it surprised many Europeans watching the numerous WW2 movies about the US saving the old-world. It's all about catering the most profitable market in the end. ( I'm not here to throw oil on fire by the way, I guess that the same... process ? )

To be honest I wasn't on Linux yet during 1.4 ( had a quick look to Wikipedia ) So I guess I tried it for the first time when it was already in 2.0 The logo is so nice tho, no wonder buying a t-shirt look justified ahah

Damn Amarok is so good, the Windows app pale in comparison to this. I had a blast while I first installed my Kubuntu machine.

I mean, there is a redflag to me when the name of your company is literally starting with Trust.

> Before social media these kinds of nonsense would never spread, but now so many people believe this kind of nonsense that it has become a huge threat to society.

Are you sure about that ? The Red Scare, the Cold War, nuclear weapons on Irak, and so on and so on ... I'm pretty sure a said nonsense would find a way to spread just like history showed us in the past.
