First of all, you really just spelled “ straight” as strait?? Really?? Oh my goodness. I don’t know how you wrote this response with a “ strait of Hormuz” face.

Yeah, I don’t like our government — 3/4ths of my writing talks about how everyone that makes our legislation needs to be ousted in favor of the majority running our society (you know, how democracy is supposed to work.) I never said the United States doesn’t invade foreign countries, do coups, and install regimes — I just said that Russia is indeed trying to invade a foreign country — it isn’t alright for any country to be doing this.

I hate both Republicans and Democrats because both are right wing authoritarians, and both sign off on the exact types of things you describe. It isn’t the people, it is the organizations of the minority — my point was the minority can indoctrinate the majority to believe some pretty crazy things.

I’m a bit confused; is your reason for bringing such things into the conversation your defense of an authoritarian regime invading another country and killing thousands for essentially no reason? Or are you justifying such things by pointing the finger back in the other direction? There is no justifying murder, especially not murder of so many.

My point was that there are some people in Russia who see nothing wrong with that, JUST as there are people in the United States who see nothing wrong with the things you just said. If I am “ indoctrinated,” I would love to know which rich billionaire “ indoctrinated” me to want to strip all of their power… doesn’t make much sense. It’s easy to say because it is not an argument. And your argument of “ the U.S. did it” is one I agree with, but it is a strawman, you are pointing to something else — which I also disagree with — in order to explain why I am an idiot for disagreeing with something.

I mean aside from that, if you disagree with the tenets of the article than I just cannot understand your brain. Nobody is indoctrinating anyone, and it is asinine to believe so.
