Stupid things religious people say

1. He said Russian apologist, not a Putin supporter 

2. No the west supporting Ukraine did not fan the flames of war. War the house was already burning 

3. Those" correlations with his usual crudites of cultural war" play into his Russian apologetics 

4. Criticizing the west is not taking responsibility

5. Criticizing the Communist manifesto ( modern Russian isn't Communist and Putin sure as hell isn't a Communist) is not a refutation

These are terrible counters.

You very clearly countered your own number one with number three. To my original point you made a clear distinction from him Jordan Peterson) and his Russian apologetics. If you looked at the original context for the bait clip  "We are all pretending here in the west.." most clearly answers your number 4. For number 5 it was just one example of how his body of work has been historically, anti-communist, anti-marxist, etc... and in this particular video (which is the only relevant one) specifically anti-Putin. For number 2, do you believe Putin specifically warned the US to not support Ukraine? I hope so, it's pretty relevant and apparent. How could flagrantly and publicly doing that very thing not, at the very least, increase tensions... regardless of the state of the war at that time? Isn't that the definition of fanning the flames?

@Rev. Rye  My initial refutation Rev, was that he's Canadian, not Russian. It was a simple grammatical half poke. Then I refuted his alleged Russian apologetics, because in the video he condemned Putin specifically and the focus was on how the West (him included) could be making things worse instead of better by provoking a dictator.



For the sake of putting the damn nail in this coffin, Sure let's assume for arguments sake his apologetics are pro Russia. It still does not make him a Russian apologist it makes him a Canadian apologist for Russia or an Apologist for Russia.
