Note for the learning impaired: ‘Russian apologist’ means ‘one who apologizes for Russia or for Russian government actions’. It does not mean ‘an apologist who is Russian’.

You may now proceed with your Russian ethnic jokes. I’m sure they’ll be screamingly funny.

I would have thought that the resident Nazi grammar police would forgive this poor soul for not assuming that attributive noun that is the direct subject of the article and connected to it was an easy mistake. Notice I didn't say the Nazi resident grammar police.

Edit Add: Do you think a title like "Jordan Peterson's Critique of the Communist Manifesto" is unclear? Why not write "Communist Jordan Peterson's Critique" ... the real question is are the writers intentionally causing divisiveness and misrepresenting their subject by their bias or are they just "spicing" up the world with their "truth"?

Do you really believe that Jordan Peterson isn't a rashist apologist?  The man who blames the degenerate west, and not russia......for russia unilatarally deciding to engage in a war of territorial expansion in europe?  

In truth, it's always been people who write shit like "critique of the communist manifesto" that have been the staunchest allies of the supposed communists.  Simple intersectionality. Honestly, it might even be simpler than that in his case. He's a "look at what you made me do" kindof dipshit. Look at what The West™ made the russia do. Look at what Atheists™ made the christians do. Look at what Wokists™ made bigots do. It's as if no one ever does anything of their own accord, or something.

Take some responsibility Jordan, you manly bootstrapping capitalist, you. You too....Tack. I doubt something as superficial as a critique of the communist manifesto is the reason that you're flinging accusations of bias in reporting. Don't be a fucking loon..man.........you're AF's last godbothering hope, lol. Wink

GN. He's very possibly is a rashist or a racist, or a bad apologist. He's not a Russian apologist though. He's not even really shifting the blame to the West for Russia invading Ukraine. In context (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...6429380587) . He does say that the US supporting Ukraine fans the flames of war, which is accurate. He also unilaterally condemned Putin's actions, which is good and not something who supports Putin would do. Then he drew correlations with his usual crudites of cultural war, usual spiel. My trivial hang up was on a grammatical faux pas that spurred me into thought of truth in headlines.

Are headlines like this intentional, a sign of bias, poor grammar, or most likely designed as click-bate?

Besides, your argument is ridiculous. claiming he isn't taking responsibility, while at the same time he's blaming the West (US and Canada specifically) is a little wonky wouldn't you say? Unless of course you believe that he is a Russian and an apologist.

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.

Tackattack on these very fora making a fucking potato farmer joke when responding to a genuine post about the Troubles, and then having the sheer gall to say he doesn't make fun of death. If that is not brain meltingly idiotic, then I don't know what is.

Tell me, Tack, what’s it like to spend a third of a century encased in a block of ice? Because that’s about the only way that that attempted refutation makes any sense. Seriously, I was two when the USSR fell and Russia became capitalist. Even if the sheer authoritarianism of the Putin regime and that of the USSR are comparable, they’re still two different types of authoritarian.
