“Both sides want hegemony but one side promotes freedom and personal rights while the other side is an imperialist dictatorship.”
Individual rights,,in the EU? Really wanna go down that road? Homeschool in Germany. Say you disagree with gays or moslems in England. Write about any number of topics in Austria or Germany. Desire to keep your paycheck in France. Discuss moslems raping their way through Norway. Oppose Erdogan in Turkey.
Then come back and tell us about personal rights in the EU.
Why are you still posting? Your relativistic red herrings do not exonerate the murderous and thieving Kremlin. Leftist ideologists use this method to disarm American patriotism and leave us susceptible to communist aggression.
Last time I checked, journalists who criticised EU leaders didn’t get poisoned or thrown in jail.
But that’s what happens to journalists in Russia who dare to criticise Putin.
I guess you missed that important difference between Western countries and Russia’s gangster government.
