    I point out a contradiction you made and your response is this. You’re clearly in a bubble yourself, as you accuse others of being, and you shortcircuited on your own contradiction to the point you refuse to engage. Personally I don’t need you to engage with me. I left a comment that you are free to ignore, block me, whatever. But the contradiction doesn’t magically vanish if you plug your ears and ignore everyone else.

    I’m sorry but Russia is invading Ukraine and keeps sending drones in nearby countries, including mine. That is a fact, not “talking points that the western puppets in charge are making”. Not everything a western nation says is false just because they’re a western nation. Western nations also say the Earth is not flat. So would you say the Earth is flat then? You are allowed to not trust any country, absolutely, but even if you think the West is a broken clock, guess what people say about broken clocks.

    Two more things.

    Firstly, being anti-Russia is not fascist. Russia isn’t even communist anymore, so even the angle of “being anti-communist means you’re a fascist” doesn’t work here. And even if Russia was still the USSR, fascism and communism are not the entire political spectrum. Under that reduction of political thought to just 2 options, that means the USA in WW2 was communist because they fought against fascists. And you surely wouldn’t claim that.

    Secondly, I echo bstix’s question. You wanted Finland to ask its citizens if you wanted to join NATO or not, while at the same time saying voting solves nothing. So why did you want to be asked? Let’s say they held a vote on this, and the majority of your country voted against joining NATO and then the country joins anyway. What would you voting have accomplished then? You either cede that Finland needed to vote on this, or you cede that voting doesn’t work. Both opinions can’t be held by the same person without contradictions appearing.





  • I do a similar thing with anime. I do read descriptions to know whether I’m interested or not, but I purposely do that a month before the next batch of anime starts airing. A month prior is late enough that anything that’s going to air during that season will have been announced already, while also being early enough that I’m likely to forget what the description said by the time they actually start airing. I then make a Notepad list with what piqued my interest, and refer to that a month later.

    And then yeah, I might add other shows on top of those from the opinions I hear online like you.
