Wait. You actually...

I'm sorry if I was rude, but self-deception is a process of denying or rationalizing away the relevance, significance, or importance of opposing evidence and logical argument. Self-deception involves convincing oneself of a truth (or lack of truth) so that one does not reveal any self-knowledge of the deception.

It happens everywhere.

Generally mods are retards, so....

And you thought that comment wouldn't be moderated?

I'm not familiar with that so I looked it up and found this article:

• EXPLAINER: Ukraine not joining NATO so why does Putin worry? (apnews, Feb. 2022)

"Ukraine has long aspired to join NATO, but the alliance is not about to offer an invitation, due in part to Ukraine’s official corruption, shortcomings in its defense establishment, and its lack of control over its international borders."

Maybe opinions have changed amongst NATO decision makers.

I'll have to admit, I looked at the cliffside pictures during the hype. I fell for the Streisand Effect in its original form.

"Don't use bats like that. Not like that either!"

He’s from Russia. His surname is Rozhenko.

Actually, that's his adoptive parent's surname. They're from Russia.

"[...] or Civil Rights leaders in Chicago and Philly."

Just a reminder that the Philadelphia police bombed a home and killed 11 American citizens. The resulting fire burnt most of the houses on that block.

• The 1985 MOVE bombing

"Philadelphia police dropped two explosive devices from a helicopter onto the roof of a house occupied by MOVE. The Philadelphia Police Department allowed the resulting fire to burn out of control, destroying 61 previously evacuated neighboring homes over two city blocks and leaving 250 people homeless. Six adults and five children were killed in the attack, with one adult and one child surviving."

Yeah, I think they meant 2016-2020.
