If RD could find logical consistency in their arguments, maybe they would be taken more seriously.

Nah, the only reason everyone is ignoring them now is because they started talking about "Western Satanists", if they hadn't gotten quite so ridiculous people would have still been arguing with them.
As it is they got thrown into the "crazy Q-anon/homeless street preacher" category where even random internet people realize its not worth it to argue with you.

E:
Amusingly enough it also "lost" them the debate. As a troll you keep on winning as long as you can keep people engaged (and typically enraged) and arguing with you.
But if you manage to simply make everyone not care about arguing with you then you lose.

Even within the madness there’s no logical consistency.

People support democracy because it undermines the authority of rulers (put in place by democracy!) but they are always on board when someone rebels against democracy (which does not apply to Ukraine, Yanukovuch was ousted by democratically elected parliamentarians after they voted for closer ties to Europe and he opted to completely ignore that and attempt to tie the country to Russia) because folk in the West are culturally predisposed to support rebels, because of the OG Star Wars trilogy.

This of course has no corroborating evidence, and (at the risk of de-railing the thread) ignores the reality of things like Trump’s recent attempts to challenges the results of the 2020 election through various means, which only similarly mad people accepted as reasonable.

He also mentioned at some point that the president of Ukraine and their parliament (or whatever they’re called) should be considered equal, but absolutely refuses to consider Yanukovuch unilaterally deciding to completely ignore what parliament vote for and do his own thing as a problem. He even suggested at one point that Ukraine is more similar to the USA’s form of government… but forgets that the legislature there has the power to impeach the executive, which is exactly what happened in Ukraine.

If RD could find logical consistency in their arguments, maybe they would be taken more seriously.


I’m so disappointed it’s just some shitty anti-democracy bullshit, I thought we were really onto something new and interesting.

Russian propaganda permeates everything, confirmation bias is real, and critical thinking is woefully under taught in schools across the globe.

I thought the entire point of 682 was that it was indestructible because it evolved too quickly to threats?

Just because you continue posting asinine BS doesn’t mean you’re winning.

*reads more*

A-a-are you the Chosen One? The idiot troll who brings us conspiracies so ridiculous they entertain rather than frustrate?

Tell me more if the Western Satanists. Are they paedophiles? Where does their Authority stem from if they hate it so? What of these Rebels they support? What if the Rebels rebel against their Authority (which of course doesn’t exist because authority is bad)?

It’s a little surprising given Cleese’ distaste at certain episodes and characters not being regarded as having aged well (“don’t mention the war!”) but I did enjoy some of it, despite it being cringe comedy to some extent.

Truth is relative.

No.

While it's hard to argue that an objective reality exists, one would have to be living under a rock not to see that humans are terrible at agreeing what it is.

That doesn’t mean truth is relative, it just means people are in varying degrees of denial regarding it.
