He also bragged about them doing it on camera. So there is that.

They have always engaged in that sort of petty bullying of their neighbours. It is in reality Russia being in a state of constant "cold" warfare against them, but they know that their neighbours won't respond. A couple of days ago a Russian warship wouldn't move out of the way of a Danish ferry inside Danish territorial waters (even though ferry lanes are clearly marked as such), causing the ferry to last minute swerve.

Russia consider this psychological warfare, creating chaos and confusion. The country is a tumor on mankind, spreading its own shittiness everywhere it can.

The bread and circus would need to go away first, so probably never going to happen.

"In fact this will be the greatest leap forward. A big beautiful leap!" and the hateful morons will cheer as he says it.

Apparently every time Nirvana is mentioned it equals suicide, and that is funny for some reason.

Who cares about the eyes of lowly peasants? This is about defending the eyes of the glorious leader Putin, and it is a risk he is willing to take.

That is just such a useless relativisation of the issue. There are problems all over the world sure, but there are also varying degrees of these problems. The US is facing a lot of different problems than the EU for example. So just saying "that is just human nature" is self-defeating and wrong, because obviously some of the problems the US faces have been fixed, or at least mitigated, to a varying degree elsewhere.

Fascists loves when people just sit back and let themselves be exploited because they think that is the natural order of things.

There are definitely varying degrees as to how far that phenomenon has taken hold, and it has done so to a much larger degree in the US than in a lot of other countries. There is not really any point in trying to relativise this, it is not "business as usual", this is radicalisation on a 1930s Germany level.

Even if you love porn and grew up exposed to it as a kid, you gotta admit that there are psychological effects on avid adult viewers and more on minors.

No you don't. That is right wing propaganda completely unfounded by science. That porn addiction nonsense so many Americans babble about is a product of that propaganda, and doesn't actually exist.

That is not really something you can say with certainty. Products you buy can easily have had materials or services from the EU involved somewhere in the production chain, and regardless of how far out in that chain they are, those tariffs will fall on you to pay as the end product consumer.

That is not what they are saying. It is perfectly valid to say that there are zero contemporary primary sources to confirm the existence of Jesus. Historians have come to the consensus that he most likely existed, on account of the influence stemming from later sources, but they all also know there are no contemporary sources, so that consensus is based on circumstantial evidence.

The historicity of Paul is not robust, it is definitely better sourced than Jesus, but that historicity stems from himself, and as we cannot take his supernatural religous experiences for fact (he can very well have believed them as fact, but we know that they cannot have happened in objective reality like that), he is not exactly the most reliable witness in the first place.
