I've cleaned up the comment threads on this post and unlocked it again. Please try to stick to the specific post topic, rather than regurgitating old grievances.

Well, I’m livin’ in a foreign country but I’m bound to cross the line

Beauty walks a razor’s edge, someday I’ll make it mine

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

Come in, she said, I’ll give ya

hey patriot this is 'murica and nobody can tell you what not to say even if what you say is not what you meant to say but is in fact what someone else said in the first place but its still not theft really its artistic expression

deep state?

did you steal these rules from the lw tos?

fxomt fubt?

That's right, but the downvotes won anyway, so it might have been a bigger loss otherwise :)

It sounds like disinfo is ok to you if it suits your view.

You're the one calling it "disinfo", and I disagree with your opinion. IMO, it's a useful resource for understanding both Russian and EU/US propaganda. Is it perfect? Nope. But nothing is. If you could point to disinfo in the articles, then presumably you would have done so rather than trying to discredit the source.

Anyway I'm not interested in getting into an argument about it. The main websites I post from are clearly listed in the sidebar, and although none of them are perfect, they are all related to the topic. If you want to suggest additional sources, then please do so.

Then….quoting politico of all places to discredit Sachs? How does that even happen?

First one that came up. You aren't paying me by the hour. Sachs has already discredited himself by going on state-sponsored Russian TV multiple times to call for Ukraine to negotiate and step away from its "maximalist demands" of removing Russia from Ukrainian territory. What more needs to be said?

Oh well if they have scarpered then problem solved I guess.

I've messaged the mod to ask for them to clarify the ban reason. I guess we'll see if there's any response.

Every source of fact checking has its own problems and biases. I post from sites that I find credible, or at least contain some useful data points. It's up to you whether you find a particular source credible or not, I can't make that assessment on your behalf.

According to Stuart Lau and Luanna Muniz writing in Politico, Sachs is a "long-time advocate of dismantling American hegemony and embracing the rise of China.

So its hardly surprising to see Sachs providing "critical support" to Russia as well.

Being an anarchist, my main concern is authoritarianism. Russia is an an authoritarian state with [neo]imperial ambitions that does not deserve my support. Anarchists generally don't subscribe to MLs' fixation on providing [un]critical support to authoritarian and only notionally socialist AES states, simply because they are working against US interests. Russia fully deserves to called out for its constant stream of propaganda about the Ukraine war and this particular source does a good job of that. To be clear, I'm not a supporter of the US either, as should be clear from my post history. But I do support Ukraine in it's fight against a foreign aggressor, as I would support Taiwan against a Chinese invasion, or Canada against a US invasion. These are all morally uncomplicated things as far as I'm concerned.

It's the folks trying to legitimize the invasion of a neighboring country that are the real concern to me.

I don't support any authoritarian states, including the US and Russia. And neither should you.

It's relevant because the new film is a remake of that 100 year old film, that's why I mentioned it and noted that there's not much that's innovative about it.

Nosferatu is a 2024 American Gothic horror film written and directed by Robert Eggers. It is a remake of the film Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror (1922), itself an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel Dracula (1897).

Look to me like it must have been a mistake because I don't see any trolling, so on that basis I'd call it a CLM in this case. If it was intentional, then PTB.

Did you ever watch the original Nosferatu? The vampire in that was pretty monstrous looking too, not in the vein of Twilight etc.
