i made a edit to my post but overall, stupid world does string to mind.


Russia is going to export to Africa directly from their own reserves. That's how they communicated, so all of the outcries are BS.

Says a hypocrite. Guess you'd rather be part of the problem, typical American. Shades of morality has nothing to do with hypocrisy, the act of pretending to be for freedom but actually being the #1 threat to said freedom..


Youre not interested in the fact im not American and instead you force your concept of American down my throat. Youre an example of "political bullshit" where you dont even care about the truth enough to at least lie about it, but outright shove your claims and newly-made concepts without any respect towards their truth value.

You can try proving me wrong, by continuing from this standpoint: im not American, i dont fully condone American policies, but in my humble opinion, out of all the great evils, theyre the lesser ones. It's a rational choice which involves an irrational leap where i decide to just have faith in my choice being the right one. If its not, im ready to be proven wrong.

Hypocrisy is not something you should call people out on often. People can seem hypocritical at first glance, but labeling them as such without first carefully considering their inner conflicts that might give rise to ambivalence, and subsequently understanding their thought processes, is reckless. It should be spared for situations where people knowingly do the exact opposite of what they preach with the intention of exploiting people's optimistic expectations. Hanlon's razor is a good rule for life. It spares you from becoming a cynical zealot who is reduced to black-and-white thinking and seeing hypocrisy everywhere. They ultimately suffer themselves the most.

I cant for the live of my understand the events. just an irrelevant filler episode, it remains to be seen if it changes the ending or not (probably not).


I dont know either. As some others said later, i believe it has something to do with avoiding martyrdom. Navalny is dealt with in a similar manner, he is being forgotten. Perhaps Navalny wasnt as popular as Prigozhin was, who catered to the people supporting the official Kremlin narrative before going on his adventure, which lets Navalny be physically incarcerated without much outrage, while Prigozhin seems to be in an abstract, conceptual prison to avoid the outrage.

It's one of the things that keeps you sane, and agreeable enough to be socially functional in this crazy world. Occam's razor is another good one :)

You act like an American and you never claimed to not be until now so if you now say you aren't I say you're a liar.

You are wrong. They are the greatest evil since the British empire collapsed. They have contributed to or are directly responsible for famine poverty war and crime on 4 separate continents and have massacred more people than any empire in history just in the last century alone.

You don't get to tell me when I can or cannot call out hypocrisy. I will always stand against hypocrisy. There is never justification for hypocrisy. It must always be opposed. Only an unethical person would attempt to reign in opposition to hypocrisy.

Black and white that's rich coming from someone who refuses to see America for the evil it is. Unlike your ridiculous argument I don't pretend Russia is the hero here, but they have infinitely more justification than anyone in NATO to be engaged in Ukraine. It is America's fault Russia took this step to begin with. America thought they could bully Russia. America failed to bully Russia.
