Oh that’s… wow. That’s really bad.

Side note: Red Hat’s home office is very near where I live, and I’ve considered looking for a position there… but their recent bullshit, and this sharp lean into LLM idiocy really turns me off of that idea.

Hey idiot, it’s not antisemitism, it’s anti-Zionism and anti-Israeli sentiment as a direct result of their genocidal policies. And for the record, there’s a shitload of Jewish people who are pretty fucking angry at Israel for doing this, too. Fuckin’ wanker.

It’s crazy because it’s a gross misrepresentation of both the tone and the intent of the Lithuanian minister’s statement.

Lithuania’s Foreign Minister Kestutis Budrys recently gave an interview with the Swiss newspaper Neue Zurcher Zeitung about the threat posed by Russia and Belarus. He advocated a robust deterrent by NATO.

Asked about neighboring Kaliningrad, he said: “We must show the Russians that we can penetrate the small fortress they have built in Kaliningrad. NATO has the means to raze the Russian air defence and missile bases there to the ground in an emergency.”

So, to clarify:

• Russia’s neighbors continue to be extremely concerned about Russian adventurism and expansionism, as a direct result of Russia’s own actions
• The minister emphasizes the importance of a credible military response to a hostile action. The minister is *not, in any way, shape, or form recommending, encouraging, or endorsing a first strike on Kaliningrad, because that would be unbelievably stupid for a litany of reasons.
• NATO A5 specifically does not apply in the case of a member state instigating a conflict.

And to clarify your position:

• do you think that any country other than Russia is able to have security concerns about their neighbors? Or is only Russia allowed to do that, and anything any other country says is “western propaganda”?

What are you trying to do with this comment?

Well, it’s that or “eat the rich”. Pick one.

That’s absurd in the extreme as well as entirely untrue. And, well, par for the course for an edgy RT article.

Aaaaaand pretty much any Linux distro looks and runs better than windows, full stop.

If it were pitched as an excise tax for all motor vehicle owners: sure.

This is specifically targeted on EVs. It’s an attempt to make EVs slightly less appetizing to the general public. Remember who is in charge of the house at the moment.

This is absolutely, completely pants-on-head idiotic.

So, par for the course for Congress.

The polling questions have been revised as follows:

You really need to get it through your head that I take all media sources with a grain of salt, and corroborate data as much as possible. I’m fully aware that western sources have bias. But you’re essentially trying to claim that Russian sources are not biased - or at least, not as biased, which is comical, as well as trivially disprovable.

I’m not beating my chest and claiming the US or the EU or NATO or whatever you want to accuse me of being a shill for is a paragon of virtue. I’m saying that you’re pushing Russian state media organizations that known propaganda outlets of the Russian Federation. I would have precisely the same reaction if you were posting things from Stars and Stripes, or the Saudi Press Agency, or KCNA.

But sure, keep misrepresenting what I’m trying to point out about your biases.

I’m genuinely curious if these chucklefucks have any sense of self-consciousness about how consummately idiotic they sound, or if they’re so far gone that they’re high off their own product.

Israel: yes

Ukraine: that whole narrative came out of Russian propaganda

FYI: OP is a huge Russia shill.

The fuck are you on about, kid? Germany is not going to invade Russia, or anyone. The current German (and broader European) rearmament is a direct response to Russian adventurism and expansionism, and is purely aimed at bolstering defensive ability. If you and your Russian buddies don’t like that, maybe try not being so overtly hostile. And stop invading your neighbors.

Ah yes and Russia is of course a true paragon of virtue and a font of truth, and is the victim in the war that… they started by unofficially invading a neighboring country over a decade ago 🙄

I’d tell you, yet again, to check your own biases in terms of media consumption, but I also know you don’t give a shit and will probably just try to snap back with a nonsensical pithy aphorism.

Really makes a body want to social engineer and black-hat the whole ICE-and-friends ecosystem, tbh
