    1. Misuse of meme format.
    2. Ungrammatical while insulting others’ intelligence.
    3. Additional relevant things happened in Ukraine 2014 than the annexation of Crimea. Do you know what they are?

              Ah yes pointing to the completely organic resistance movements that cropped up simultaneously with Russian equipment and Russian soldiers contributing. But of course the US psyop’d 80% of the entire country to be in favor of EU membership. And the strong definitely not russian backed leader said no, I will carry on the true will of the Ukrainian people, which is to be subservient to Russia. And the people unjustly protested and got righteously shot for it. And then the totally not russian tanks rolled in.

                Unfortunately you have a censor-happy mod that doesn’t like the basic history here being described but if you’d like to discuss that history I’d be happy to continue on another instance.

                I’m curious as to what you think a reputable source is. One that agrees with you? I’m sure there are plenty of YouTube videos that do, are they disreputable and untrustworthy, simply because of the platform?

                  a reputable source is one that provides the source of their information.

                  youtube content creators get their information from other Youtube content. It’s like a human centipede of misinformation.

                  in rare occasions youtube can be reputable if it’s content of the event as it happened, like when George Floyd was murdered and body cam footage was leaked online.

                  however, with better AI that can create archival footage like that, it’s harder to trust just any video.

                  point is, sources matter when you want to prove your dissertation.

                It did not contain any misinformation, just basic facts about what was happening in Ukraine in 2014 - Euromaidan, separatist movements, far right consolidation, etc. Things reported on constantly by mainstream Western press for 8 years. There is at least one overzealous mod that is removing my comments, comments that contain no misinformation, and with no requests for clarification or any actual challenge to what I said.

                Feel free to ask me this question on a less censorious instance.

      1. There’s nothing wrong with insulting intelligence. As long as you don’t use it as a counter argument, it’s not even an ad hominem.
      2. Tankies are fucking idiots.

        There’s nothing wrong with insulting intelligence.

        I was pointing out how it’s funny to make basic grammatical errors while doing so.

        Tankies are fucking idiots.

        Excellent contribution to the discourse.
