Quote:

I shouldn’t have to write this article. And yet, here we are...

I don’t care who you are or how much Palmer Report you read: accusing someone who disagrees with you of conducting psyops for a foreign government is never, ever a normal or acceptable way of conducting political discourse.

I tweeted the above yesterday after noticing another uptick in the bizarre habit establishment loyalists

You know who you are...
Quote:

have of labeling anyone who disagrees with them as Russian trolls. And, though I didn’t address it to her and made no mention of her, Louise Mensch took it personally.

This led to a deluge of fascinating interactions with Mensch’s followers, in which I was sincerely informed that Twitter has admitted to half of its users being Russian agents, though it is likely more. I was also called a Russian agent many, many times, because saying it’s not okay to accuse a stranger you disagree with of being a Russian agent is just the sort of thing a Russian agent would say.

Well, let me start off this weird, stupid article that I shouldn’t have to write by saying that I myself am not a Russian agent. I’ve never been to Russia, I have no ties to the Russian government, I rarely use sources in my articles that have ties to Russia, and to the best of my knowledge none of my patrons are Russian. I say this not because I feel a need to defend these foam-brained accusations but to point out that it is, in fact, very possible to disagree with the establishment Russia narrative without being incentivized to in rubles.

Political discourse between establishment loyalists and everyone else has been trampled to death by the gratuitous use of this obnoxious debate-avoiding tactic.

As well as shitting a gif into a thread before bailing. That's another tactic used frequently in these parts
Quote:

Everyone who publicly questions the MSNBC Russia narrative will be met with these accusations. Everyone who speaks about it with much of an online following will receive these accusations on a daily basis.

This is not normal.

And neither are the people who make these accusations
Quote:

Anti-Trumpists have been trained over the last year by people like Rachel Maddow, Louise Mensch, and the Palmer Report to believe that accusing everyone who disagrees with you of being a Russian agent is a normal thing that sane people do, but they are wrong. It is a bizarre, obnoxious tactic, and when you use it, you are admitting that you have no argument.

The accusation would not be baseless. You should remind yourself what the USIC's official report said on the matter of Russian interference. — Louise Mensch (@LouiseMensch) November 27, 2017

Yes it would indeed be a baseless accusation, @LouiseMensch. You do not know who is and is not a Kremlin agent, and the odds that you are interacting with one are rare. If you have to resort to baseless accusations of Russian espionage, you are admitting you have no argument. — Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) November 27, 2017


In the unlikely event that any Louise Mensch types are still reading at this point, let me explain how normal online discourse operates:

Party A presents a position on an issue.

Party B presents a rebuttal to the position, often supplemented with links substantiating their claim.

Party A returns with their own counter-argument and their own substantiations.

Repeat this back-and-forth for as long as both parties remain interested.

The civility with which this discourse takes place varies wildly, and it can leave both parties feeling like they wasted an hour or two of their lives talking to a brick wall. But it can also be very informative to people watching, it can often lead to one party realizing that their argument isn’t nearly as strong as their partisan echo chamber had led them to believe it was, and it can cause both parties to do more research and rigorous thinking as they strive to come up with a compelling case.

Or failing that, they can shit a gif
Quote:

It can even lead to someone realizing that they don’t know nearly as much about a given issue as they thought they did and privately questioning their previous assumptions.

Conversations like this are socially enriching and lead to a more intelligent and better-informed humanity.

Compare that to:

Party A presents a position on an issue.

Party B accuses party A of conducting psyops for a foreign government.

Discussion ends.

These accusations always kill dialogue. And they are meant to. It is a safe way of slamming the door on ideas which make the person who uses this tactic uncomfortable.

There is no legitimate reason to ever accuse a stranger you disagree with of being a Russian agent. Firstly, you cannot possibly know that the stranger you’re dialoguing with works for the Kremlin. Secondly, even in the highly unlikely event that the person you are speaking to really is a secret Russian agent, you should still be able to out-debate them.

Kremlin trolls don’t have magical powers. They can’t hypnotize you. If you’re interacting with one they’ll be advancing arguments and ideas just like anyone else, and if your arguments and ideas are defensible you should be able to defend them clearly and articulately.

A related accusation is conceding that while it is possible that the individual you are speaking to may not be a paid Kremlin operative, they are at the very least a “useful idiot” who has been brainwashed by Russian propaganda and is unknowingly advancing pernicious ideas. This is also an admission that you have no argument. You’re shutting down dialogue instead of debating your position articulately. You’re also making a fallacious case which assumes from the beginning that nobody could possibly disagree with your omniscient, infallible worldview unless they were deceived by a malevolent party. [But] If your position is defensible, defend it like a normal human being.

I’ve had some success with simply drawing attention to the fact that the person levelling these accusations is using a tactic that is not a normal or acceptable part of political discourse. Individuals with a bit of personal insight

Which excludes MANY people in this form
Quote:

can get pretty embarrassed when you calmly point out that they’re doing something they know deep down is really weird and unhealthy, so they’ll back away from it once you bring a little self-awareness to their McCarthyite chicken dance. I recommend my readers try it if you ever run into this tactic yourselves.

* * *

Bottom line: when a stranger on the internet accuses you of being a Kremlin agent, of being a “useful idiot”, of “regurgitating Kremlin talking points”, this is simply their way of informing you that they have no argument for the actual thing that you are saying. If you’re using hard facts to point out the gaping plot holes in the Russiagate narrative, for example, and all they can do is call your argument Russian propaganda, this means that they have no counter-argument for the hard facts that you are presenting. They are deliberately shutting down the possibility of any dialogue with you because the cognitive dissonance you are causing them is making them uncomfortable.

Yes, paid shills for governments all over the world do indeed exist. But the odds are much greater that the stranger you are interacting with online is simply a normal person who isn’t convinced by the arguments that have been presented by the position you espouse. If your position is defensible you should be able to argue for it normally, regardless of whom you are speaking to.

Yes, propaganda exists. But what is propaganda other than arguments and ideas? It isn’t witchcraft or wizardry. It isn’t going to melt your face like that scene in Raiders of the Lost Ark; you can engage it rationally without plugging your fingers in your ears and screaming “propaganda!”

Except several people here, who insist on doing exactly that
Quote:

In the event that the ideas you are debating against online are indeed the product of government deception, you should be able to debunk them using truth and rationality. If there are lies, point them out using truth and facts. If there are half-truths, bring in the other half of the equation. If there are bad arguments relying on bad thinking, refute them with good arguments and good thinking. The methods of refuting propaganda are the same as the methods of refuting anything else, so it’s stupid to act like plugging your fingers in your ears and screaming “propaganda” is a legitimate tactic.

If “propaganda” can’t be refuted using legitimate debate methods, then what you are calling propaganda looks an awful lot like truth.

I fight what I consider to be establishment propaganda for a living, but if all I ever did was type “that’s propaganda!” over and over again, nobody would ever read my articles. I have to make a compelling case for what actual disinformation is being presented and present clear arguments for why I think they are wrong. The same is true for everyone, even if they believe their position is supported by 17 intelligence agencies and the infinite wisdom of the Palmer Report.

Palmer Report " The New Republic's Colin Dickey claims that Palmer "routinely blasts out stories that sound serious but are actually based on a single, unverified source," such as the time when he reported Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts had ordered Trump appointee Neil Gorsuch to recuse himself from all Trump-related Russia hearings, with his only sourcing coming from a "single tweet from an anonymous Twitter account under the name 'Puesto Loco.'"

Boy sig really does like to post from bullshit sources. With all the facts stacking up against Trump that she denies as nonexistent, she starts an entire thread based on this source.

Jack, the title of moron I gave you sure does fit. You jumped right in with both feet, without giving it a second thought. Why, because it fits into your demented logic. Something you can't yet see for yourself. Stay sober and your senses may return. That is, if you had any to begin with.

"...Political discourse between (insert personal fav insult here) and everyone else has been trampled to death by the gratuitous use of this obnoxious debate-avoiding tactic." You mean like constantly talking about Hillary and Obama and shouting "collusion!" over and over?
No, By constantly name-calling and engaging in libel. And as far as "collusion" is concerned, I'm not the one "constantly" shouting it, but there are others (you know who you are) who did. And then, they try to bury it and hope to make others forget that for a month or two it was their overriding concern.

Like the article says ... if you think someone is posting propaganda and lies, then you should be able to defend with truth and facts. If you have to rely on ad hominum arguments and libel, as you just did, to make your "point", you must not have a point to make. Or if you DO have a point to make (aside from name-calling) it's hard to tell from your posts.

Sure.

The pact between Hitler and Stalin that paved the way for World War II:
https://www.pri.org/stories/2014-08-21/pact-between-hitler-and-stalin-
paved-way-world-war-ii-was-signed-75-years-ago


Lessons of defeat: German communists and the rise of Hitler (note, this is from a socialist website):
http://socialistreview.org.uk/378/lessons-of-defeat
Quote:


"Trotsky and his German supporters pleaded in vain with the Communists to concentrate their efforts on the key issues of the moment, above all the threat of Nazism: "Denying this threat, belittling it, failing to take it seriously is the greatest crime that can be committed today." Instead of the ridiculous accusation that the foremost enemy was "social fascism", he called on the Communists to say the following to the Socialists: "The policies of our parties are irreconcilably opposed, but if the fascists come tonight to your organisation's hall, we will come running, arms in hand, to help you. Will you promise us that if our organisation is threatened you will rush to our aid?"

Alas, this united front was rejected by the Communists. The Trotskyists could do nothing. They were too small an organisation to have any impact on either of the main workers' parties.

There has been some debate about why Germany's Communists became so obsessed with castigating other parts of the left. The key responsibility for this certainly lay with Stalin who, having established a state capitalist dictatorship in Russia, was using the foreign communist movement as a tool of his foreign policy."

Stalin had a rich history of not fighting the Nazis until he had to.

"Not fighting" is not the same as "supporting", and when push came to shove the Russians fought Nazis in a war in which 20 million Russians were killed, and won the European war against the Nazis.

You're just weird, KPO.

I guess I'll have to read Russia's perspective to understand what the fuck it is you are talking about. If it wasn't for the weather and Allied troops you'd all be speaking German now. No, what you did was use it as an opportunity to steal your neighbors sovereignty and land. Shit, sounds like what you are doing today doesn't it.

Quote:

The 5 Most Widely Believed WWII Facts (That Are Bullshit)

America Won the War Single-Handedly

Claimed By:
Hollywood, WWII-shooters, Cold War politics and chauvinists.
Sixty years of World War II movies, and a decade of WWII video games, have made one thing clear: If it wasn't for America, you'd all be speaking German right now, baby! U-S-A! U-S-A!

Why it's Bullshit:
Because it's like thinking that while many X-Men contributed in their own special way, defeating Magneto really came down to Iceman.

There are two radically different histories of WW II, the one that was actually fought, and the one where the US kicked everyone's assess. Guess which one Cold War-era classrooms were allowed to teach? Here's a hint: It's the same one Hollywood chose to film.

... there is one Zangief-sized elephant in the room that America loved to leave out of conversation until the end of the Cold War: the Soviet Union. The "Great Patriotic War" as they called it was the single largest military operation in history, and home to perhaps the biggest turning-point of the war: the Battle of Stalingrad.

Understand, the Russia versus Germany part of the war wasn't just a little more important than the part the USA was involved in. It was "four times the scale" of the whole Western front, larger than all other phases of the war put together. The Soviet military suffered eight million soldiers dead, more than 20 freaking times the number of U.S. casualties.

First, your facts can't be trusted. Second, let me explain what WW11 did that reflects negatively on what Trump ( with your blessing ) is doing today.

WW11 took American out of it's isolationism phase. Through our dealings with our allies we learned that America first didn't work. That what happens in the world will engulf us whether we want it to or not. That we could work with other nations to create a better world and did.

That sig, made America number one. Not our isolationism tendencies of the past. You troll and Trump, are fighting to bring us down by repeating today those ignorant aspects of our past. You will fail.

Which would have been forever if Hitler hadn't broken the pact and invaded. Stalin was quite happy with the deal he struck with Hitler - carving up Eastern Europe, exchanging large amounts of arms and raw materials with the Nazis, and then sitting back and watching the Nazi war machine squash Western Europe.

When Hitler stabbed Stalin in the back and invaded, Stalin refused to believe it was happening and needlessly sacrificed large portions of the Red Army through inaction.

In the end, the Soviet Union turned the tide and steam-rollered Nazi Germany, but with massive material assistance from the US and Britain (Lend Lease).

Russia entered into an agreement that allowed Hitler to attack his neighbors with impunity. They paid for that because they were next. They paid 20 million worth, perhaps more.

Then they did what Hitler did. Steal land and sovereignty from their neighbors. They called it the Soviet Union. A Union that required barbed wire and walls to keep people from running for the hills. Remember that comrade sig?

I have an obsession with reality, not with Russia. Watching you guys tie yourselves into knots of Gordian proportions trying to deny reality, or trying to maintain a weird narrative, is interesting.

But it's YOU who keeps bringing up Russia, not me. Seriously, just look at the thread titles and who posts them. I'm not sure that I EVER posted about Russia.

Nope, what I said was Russia entered into an agreement that allowed Hitler to attack his neighbors with impunity. They paid for that because they were next. They paid with 20 million, perhaps more Russian lives. The allies actions in Europe saved Russia's ass.

Then the Russians did what Hitler did. Steal land and sovereignty from their neighbors. They called their ill gotten gains the Soviet Union. A Union that required barbed wire and walls to keep people from running for the hills. Remember that comrade sig?

Today they've adopted Hitler's strategy and are using it in Georgia and the Ukraine. Isn't that so comrade sig?

Soviet deaths in WWII were between 20,000,000 to 27,000,000.

German deaths were 6,900,000 to 7,400,000. The Allies, excluding the Soviets, killed half those. Stalin’s strategy was to bury each dead German under the bodies of seven dead Soviet Citizens. That would only work because it was 188,793,000 Soviets against 69,300,000 Germans who knew when to surrender. The years of peace and prosperity for Germany since WWII show that the Germans won and Russia lost, compared to Germany. The Germans should thank Russians for removing a democratically elected German government from Berlin in 1945. Maybe the Russians can do the same favor for Americans in 2018, without all the bloodshed of WWII, by releasing their secret files on Trump?

As usual, you're bullshitting. First of all your link doesn't even contain that claim, let alone support it. Second of all, you're wrong.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_casualties_in_World_War_II

OKW Casualty Figures Sept 1, 1939 to Jan 31, 1945

Army Eastern Front 1,105,987Dead 1,018,365Missing&POW 2,124,352Total 3,498,059Wounded&Sick
Subtotal Army 1,622,561Dead 1,646,316Missing&POW 3,268,877Total 4,188,037Wounded&Sick

In other words, the Eastern (Russian) Front accounted for 11 out of 16 dead German soldiers, 10 out of 16 missing and POW German soldiers, and 35 out of 42 wounded and sick German soldiers.

1kiki, you're getting as nutty as Trump with his "Fake News".

1kiki, look at the column titled: "Total Deaths". It is just to the right of the column titled: "Civilian deaths due to war related famine and disease" at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II_casualties

1kiki, Civilian deaths count, in my opinion, along with Army deaths. And for every German, either civilian or military, that Stalin killed, about seven Soviets died, also counting civilians along with Soviet army dead.

Stalin smothered the Germans to death underneath a monstrously large heap of dead Soviet Citizens. I am thankful he did. And Putin can follow Stalin's example by smothering Trump to death underneath a heap of secret papers from the files on Trump. I would be thankful if he did.

The Russians are erecting new statues to Stalin. Those hero-worshiping Russians would be upset by the mention that seven Russians had to die for every German killed. And 1kiki is upset. Comrade 1kiki, did you reveal your true loyalty?

It should be upsetting to honor the leader, Stalin, whose incompetence killed 27,000,000 Soviets. In the USA it would be like erecting new statues to Confederate War Heroes.

Not about Russia.

Snipers were hired by Ukrainian opposition, they say. This is about Ukraine's former government, and the Maidan sniper shootings. Nothing in there about Russia.

6. Latest on US war in Syria. What's not to like?
This is about the USA's war in Syria. We (the USA) started it long before Russia ever got involved, how we're striking pro-Assad forces, violating Syrian airspace, and coming close to warring directly with Russia in some faraway place that doesn't mean anything to us.

10. Paul Manafort indicted, on nothing related to Trump - or Russia
Paul Manafort was indicted on NOTHING TO DO WITH TRUMP. Or Russia, for that matter. Jeez, even when a post explicitly says that this is "not about Russia", you make it about Russia?

Quote:

11. Syria and Ukraine, Catalan and Kurdistan: what do they have in common?
This is about separatist movements. Other people brought "Russia" into the discussion; I was trying to understand separatist movements generally and how they could be legitimized, because I think separatism is a good counterweight to consolidation.

Quote:

12. “Evidens". So, where are we now?
Yes, "Evidens"... where ARE we now?

Quote:

BTW, because I know you will contest those as not having Russia in the title (!), just do a text search on each of them and you'll find "Russia" all over your posts.
Mostly the posts of others.

For example, in my first post, it was all about the DNC and its FBI-DOJ connection, Hillary and Debbie and how they messed with the election process and compromised security (national security and party security).

So here's your approach: When I DON'T talk about Russia, it's about Russia. (because it's "deflection"). When I DO talk about Russia, it's about Russia. And when Russia is a tangential reference, it's STILL about Russia.

Every single thread about anything, YOU collectively turn it into a discussion of Russia! I can't help it if you're obsessed with the topic. You see it where it doesn't even exist, you insert it into threads that are explicitly NOT about Russia.

I third that, but there would have to be audio and/or video to back that up as well. Otherwise it's meaningless.

The more I think about it, the more it doesn't sound plausible in practice.

"Anonymous" may or may not be lying when they say what they're saying, but they feel safe saying it only because they're "off the record". Whether what they're saying is true or a lie, they might not say it at all if they're essentially being blackmailed with it for an indefinite amount of time after the fact by the MSM.

"Anonymous" may not even exist... but it would be easy for the MSM to give them an identity after the fact if something were to blow up in their face.

Let's say "Anonymous" is real... Say what they're saying IS true at the time, but circumstances behind the scenes change and now it seems to have been a lie. It wasn't a lie at the time it was said, but now Rachel Maddow can save her own career by outing this anonymous source and throwing them into the public gallows.



I don't know what the answer to this is, and this one isn't necessarily wrong, but I think it needs to be thought out a bit more and revamped.
