I agree, yes. I always try to have that conversation, even if the other side seems to be arguing, since at the beginning I am interested in their thoughts and motives, and trying to get them to understand mine. I do enjoy getting people angry though, so at certain point, if they are clearly arguing in bad faith, the calmness becomes a tool, to make them look like morons.

3·14 days agoIf you want people who know, to suffer, just randomly ask them “what does the dog say?”, and then answer that. If it has been long enough, they have forgotten, but will immediately remember again. Instant emotional damage.
Sadly, it does need to be said. You and I might find it obvious, but it has been a common propaganda tactic for decades already, to frame anything negative said about Russia, as “russophobic”. A lot of people do not have that context, and I have seen enough propagandists here, to take precaution. It cannot be underlined enough, that the root of the problem is Russian imperialism, not russian people in general.
I will note, that I comment this, to tell it to other people possibly reading these comments. You do not have to care, if you do not want to, I understand.
It should not really be “Russia bad!”, more like “Putin’s dictatorship bad”, or something like that. The fact is, Russia attacked another nation under Putin’s leadership (they say it themselves), and started the war without provocation, to conquer a sovereign nation (they have also said that themselves). Knowing this, makes quite many people not like Russia under this leadership, especially if you are their neighbor, and they have attacked your lands before as well, to conquer them (that is, where my angle is coming from, for the context).
Some random russian from the street did not do it - but you cannot blame ukrainians for defending themselves either. So, in short it is “war bad”, “starting war really bad”, but “defending yourself ok”. Now, what is happening in the actual meat grinder… War bad.

3·20 days agoIt is also the athmosphere of anxiety. Horror movies try to intentionally create feelings of fear, and uneasiness, which then is present in the color scheme, camera angles, music (or lack of), spacing… everything. In documentaries and the like, usually the incidents themselves, also speak for themself.
I cannot take horror at all either - I cannot usually watch even horror comedies - but one of my favorites, is to watch real tsunami footage. The point is not to see people dying or some unreal scary stuff, it is to witness the real absoluteness of destruction nature is capable of, yet also people managing to survive, and help each other, in the middle of it.
They will quickly perish in those stupid bunkers anyway. They have no valuable practical skills, and are total assholes. Stuck in a small, closed system, with tons of ordinary people keeping the things running, and with their own greedy “loyal” lackeys… And if they leave the people out, they will die even faster, as things start to fail without skillful mainteinance.
We follow the EU rules on that, as far as I know. And oh certainly, it is far from perfect; practically all animal products produced in big scale, are unethical, and I would not trust the organic labeling on plant products. But if you are going to buy eggs, even the EU bio criteria are significantly better, than having the chickens locked in tiny cages for their lives, or kept in huge indoor halls. The criteria, for example, also includes 4sq.m of outside space per chicken, and that they get to spend 1/3 their lives outside, whenever possible. Here the outdoor season is from May to October, I do not know does that differ in other EU countries. Is that great? No. But it is better, than the alternative requirements.
