Are we losing our discernment

Posted on 03/21/2022 12:02:44 PM PDT by standing man

VANITY I am a long time lurker and occasional poster. I consider Free Republic to be one of the most informative sites available, but I find myself confused with the direction of commentary regarding Russia and the Ukriane. The media, the democrats, George Soros,the UN, the World economic forum. ALL either have LIED to us continually for the last four years or are actively involved in planning the destruction of our nation. At the Risk of being called a putinista or putard I have to ask the question. Why do we accept as fact the narrative that we are being fed by the msm? This link is not the hill I am willing to die on but it does present an alternative point of view worth considering https://burningbright.substack.com Stand Tall Brad

Well, isn’t that the ultimate slam? “Harassing elderly christian ladies online.” I’ll have to remember that one.

I’m so sorry that I don’t support the war you want but deny that you do.

I see you’re having cheerleading sessions with another troll and have downshitfed into trolling behavior, so I’ll need to put you on troll-ignore as well.

Oh well. TTFN.

If Schwab and Putin were buddies back then, they aren’t now. The point is, I’m not sure which side is worse.

Oh my gosh.


He’s been around for years with sock puppets, and is a flamer who uses dramatic language, lame wit, and is not capable of civil discussion.

This is his life and his few remaining fellow trolls’ lives 24/7 who haven’t kicked the bucket. They used to give those women a really hard time on the ABC site, mobbing the board with the kind of nonsense you see him spewing here.

“If Schwab and Putin were buddies back then, they aren’t now. The point is, I’m not sure which side is worse.”

False premise that they are in opposition.

Putin started the murdering and war.

Schwab’s minions are more likely to affect my or your life with their techno totalitarianism.

But supporting Putin in this will not have any bearing on that. Putin is not fighting against that.

And Germany is doing nothing. They aren’t against Putin at all.

So, the premise that one affects the other and a Putin victory would somehow be a blow to the globalist technotoalitarian NWO is false.

It’s absolutely clear he’s incapable of coherent thought and logical reasoning. As he demonstrated in this thread, when he loses an argument (whatever disordered point that might be), he resorts to the usual trolling, name-calling and whining “boring.” I shouldn’t have wasted less than 30 seconds in reply. Anyone supporting and pimping the Soros position ought to earn an immediate ZOT from FR.

here are the problems. Some Freepers say: “Believe nothing in the MSM because the media always lie”
Here is the problem with that approach. To believe nothing is as intellectually lazy and worthless as to believe everything.

Critical thinking is crucial

So that leaves pretty much two camps that won’t listen to each other

If you want Russia to fail in its invasion of Ukraine, you are automatically a Deep State Globalist Toadie and lickspittle

If you want Ukraine to lose or essentially surrender, you are immediately labeled a Putin lackey and bootlicker

the other major problem is pure isolationism, exercised to kingdom come, might lead to Japanese warplanes appearing out of nowhere over a doomed fleet in the Pearl Harbor anchorage.

However, constant intervention and meddling and nation-building in fields that actually don’t concern us can trigger disasters such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Vietnam, etc.

The real challenge is this: Is Ukraine just, well, a big country that strategically doesn’t matter to us

Or is it The Sudetenland

If anyone claims to actually know the correct answer to whether it’s just another big East European country or it’s the Sudetenland of a bygone era of appeasement, that poster is either a liar, delusional, or God.

And since we can categorically rule out any of us as being God, that leaves lies and/or delusion

Well, how about this for a philosophical analysis.

You are Indiana Jones and the walls of the room start closing in on you, sharp pointy sticks in them. You look up but no escape there. Looking down you see two pools of cess, one says 20 ft deep, the other says 5 foot deep. You do know what cess is, right?

Being the wise Freeper you are, you jump in the 5 foot deep, crouch down and the wall goes over you. You climb out and say, “what a shitty situation this is, I don’t deserve this.” but what was the alternative?

People want a simple analysis of the situation and a simple solution. The media wants us to hate Putin and remove him. That should be a big warning. I am more worried about the effects of removing Putin than leaving him in place.

Parody of Prince’s song 1999

1999
Prince
Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you
I only want you to have some fun
I was sober when I wrote this
Forgive me if it goes astray
But when I woke up this mornin’
Could’ve sworn it was judgment day

The sky was all purple
There were people runnin’ everywhere
Tryin’ to run from the destruction
I know you didn’t even care

Say, say, 2000-00, posting over
Oops, out of time
So tonight I’m gonna post like it’s 1999

I was sober when I wrote this
So sue me if I go too fast
Life is just a forum
And forums weren’t meant to last

War is all around us
My mind says prepare to fight
So if I gotta die
I’m gonna listen to my body tonight, yeah
They say, 2000-00, posting’s over

Oops, out of time
So tonight I’ll be posting like it’s 1999
Yeah, yeah

Let me tell ya something
If you didn’t come to forum
Don’t bother knockin’ on my door
I got a lion in my pocket
And, baby, he’s ready to roar
Yeah, yeah

Everybody’s got a bomb
We could all die any day, aw
But before I’ll let that happen
I’ll post my life away, oh-oh-oh
They say, 2000-00, posting’s over

Oops, out of time
We’re runnin’ outta time
So tonight we are posting like it’s 1999

Say it one more time
2000-00, party over
Oops, out of time, no, no
So, tonight we gonna, we gonna, whoa!
Alright, it’s 1999
You say it, 1999
1999
Oh, 1999
Don’t stop, don’t stop, say it one more time
2000-00, posting’s over
Oops, out of time
Yeah-yeah
So tonight, I’m gonna forum like it’s 1999 (we gonna, whoa)
1999
Don’tcha wanna go (1999)
Don’tcha wanna go, oh (1999)
We could all die any day (1999)
I don’t wanna die
I’d rather post my life away (1999)
Listen to what I’m tryin’ to say
Everybody, everybody said post it
C’mon now, you said post it
That’s right, everybody say (post it)
You can’t run from the revelation, no (post it)
Sing it for your nation, y’all (post it)
Dreamin’ when youu’re singin’, baby say (post it)
Telephone’s a-ringin’, mama now (post it)
C’mon, c’mon, you say (post it)
Everybody, do tell me (post it)
Work it down to the ground
I say (post it)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (post it)
Come on, take my body, baby (post it)
That’s right, c’mon, sing me the song (post it)
Yeah-yeah, oh, no no (post it)
That’s right (post it)
Got a lion in my pocket mama, say (post it)
Oh, and he’s ready to roar (post it)
Mommy
Why does everybody have a bomb?
Mommy
Why does everybody have a bomb?
