Let's give the man some props - he keeps the trolls at bay. I fought his fight earlier on. Ultimately, I had to acknowledge what Schiller most eloquently stated, "Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain."

We can well argue whether it's (in the naive sense) stupidity, or a calculated gaslighting/propaganda effort. Perhaps Schiller's statement should be interpreted more as "Against those who wield FUD, the gods themselves contend in vain."

He's the reincarnation of the Dan and Iwog brawling golem.

@rickwicks

I do appreciate your presence on patrick.net.

He has this annoying habit of trying to use logic when mockery would be more appropriate.

First, this entire thread is just embarrassing.

Ceffer says

As soon as he believes Michelle Obama is a man, and DEWs are real, he'll be over the hump.

DEWs exist, but they are useless for the most part, I don't care if Michelle Obama is a man or not. My cousin is gay and there was a "gay community" in the 1990's and early 2000's and TALK WAS that Obama and Rahm Emanuel were frequenters of gay bath-houses. The "gay community' outed a LOT of people in the past. - Rock Hudson for one. Obama is at least bi-sexual.

Mockery doesn't convince others.

British Version of Appreciation: This richwicks guy isn't too bad.

HURRAY TO OUR RESIDENT ULTRACREPIDARIAN!!!

Sorry to embarrass the subject of this thread, and no I don't want to suck his dick. I should also express my appreciation to Hunter and Al for always entertaining Ohomoglobohomo containment posts.

We'll have to take down those Saint Floyd of Fentanyl statues and put up statues of richwicks now.

Why don'tcha you all just post pics of you giving him a blow job, for fuck sakes.

Well good luck finding a picture of me online to photoshop!

Pfft, want a better person to erect a statue to? Make a statue that represents the American farmer. They feed our useless asses. If anybody doesn't get enough appreciation and should have a hell of a lot more, it's them.

I hope @richwicks didn't take offense to this thread. I'm just acknowledging that you have more patience and stamina for trolls than I have. While you keep the trolls tied up, they are less likely to pollute other PatNet threads. Thanks again.

Richwicks is the troll whisperer. Lots of valuable Patnet real estate is left free for elevated cogitation.

He has been commissioned to write a handbook on 'Wrestling With Trolls For Idiots'.

It's nothing but old "netiquette".

I don't believe in trolls much. I believe in people who are confused, incorrect, misinformed, propagandized, and many are "on a mission" - i.e. it doesn't matter if they "lie" because the cause is just - an example of that is "Donald Trump is a despicable bigot, sexist, and homophobe" because in their mind, he's a bad man.

Wait a sec …….,, Rock Hudson is gay ? My childhood images of a man’s man have been shattererd !Doris Day how could you fool me like that ? Well at least there’s still the “ king of cool” Steve McQueen that I looked up too …… at least Ithink I still can

Rock Hudson died of AIDs complications. He was well known to be gay, his marriage produced no children and was less than 3 years long.

It was a big scandal in the 1980s. He was one of the first celebrities to be outed by NEWS media. It had been rumored for years.

I assumed by now, it would have been completely common knowledge.

He's now celebrated in the FP:

Still, some Western advocates of appeasement will offer perfunctory condemnations before then spending many times more column inches on diverting the blame from Putin to the United States, the West, NATO, or all of the above. With that kind of argument, they would have enthusiastic allies in the Kremlin. On Russian airwaves, the story goes that it was the Ukrainians who forced the invasion on Russia by supposedly preparing to annihilate Ukraine’s Russian-speaking minority. In psychology, this is called projection.
If, like the political scientist John Mearsheimer, your arguments are being used by Russian state television to prop up the regime’s ridiculous claims that Kyiv and Washington are to blame for this war, you should probably reconsider the intellectual journey that led you to this point. If, like many of the Western leftists obsessed with the NATO war cause theory, you reject imperialism and colonialism as a matter of principle (rather than only its U.S. or British versions), you couldn’t have missed the Kremlin’s detailed public plans for dismantling Ukraine’s sovereignty, Russia’s plundering of faraway lands like Sudan to fund a war of conquest and annihilation, and the Kremlin’s use of ethnic minorities as cannon fodder for the war.
If you think Ukraine has a problem with a nationalist far right, then you might have noticed the unapologetic Hitler worshippers in the ranks of the Russian forces. If, like the British Labour Party’s Jeremy Corbyn, you promote peace through diplomacy—appeasement-speak for stopping military aid to Ukraine and giving Putin what he wants—you should be aware by now of the realities in the Russian-occupied areas and ask yourself if this is really the fate you are willing to condemn millions of Ukrainians to. You might take it as a sign that you’re on the wrong side of history—and just about anyone’s understanding of ethics, including the right to self-defense—when you have to say out loud that you’re not a Putin puppet.
Scholars can debate the exact definitions of what Russia is doing in Ukraine, but one thing is clear from the most immediate goal of its forces in the area they occupy: The aim is to erase not just Ukraine’s sovereignty as a state (including by annexing the occupied areas) but its very nationhood. Ukrainian place names are erased from maps and street signs, local media are replaced with Russian-language propaganda broadcasts, and students are reeducated under a Russian curriculum by teachers shipped in from Russia. The plan is not secret: It was announced on April 3 in an article in the state-owned RIA Novosti news agency—two days after the Kremlin’s forces retreated from the Kyiv region, leaving behind hundreds of dead civilians who had been raped, tortured, and executed during the monthlong occupation.
Everything in Yale University historian Timothy Snyder’s “genocide handbook” has already been perpetrated in one form or another, including forced Russification and the abduction of thousands of Ukrainian children to be raised as Russians in the motherland. Kremlin-loyalist media are not only cheering all of this on but demanding even more cruelty: A Komsomolskaya Pravda radio host demanded a gulag to be built for Ukrainian teachers who have been refusing to follow the Russia-supplied syllabus. In case anyone has forgotten, gulags were hard labor camps where an estimated 1.6 million political and other prisoners perished during Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin’s brutal rule.

Has the richwicks appreciation thread degenerated into the richwicks OT thread?

Rock Hudson was notorious in the day for hanging out at the bars on Sunset Blvd. in Hollywood. Just about any remotely attractive gay could do him or be done by him, he was insatiably promiscuous. And yet, the publicity machines were able to hide all that.

Chicken "Kyiv".

I'm so glad the nincompoops of our disinformation governance board have made it so easy to identify themselves. You just have to laugh.

Still, I followed the link:

When I asked them for a photo of their former home, they sent me a video instead. In the clip, amid a vast expanse of smoldering rubble, a Russian tank fires point-blank at an apartment building that was somehow still standing. Part of the building implodes, adding to the total devastation for miles and miles around. “This was our home,” Kovalevskaya told me when describing the video.

There's no video of that. I always have to laugh when I see claims like this and there just isn't room on the FUCKING INTERNET to include proof by including the video. So, just as likely to be bullshit. The whole point of propaganda is try to convince people of a point of view, but when they OMIT THE FUCKING EVIDENCE, that's because they're lying.

So, who is this organization, https://foreignpolicy.com/ ?

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

Foreign Policy magazine and ForeignPolicy.com are published by The FP Group,[2] a division of Graham Holdings Company (formerly The Washington Post Company).

So, I'm done with that. It's just another fucking cocksocking Neocon war whore publication.

As far as I can see, the problem isn't one of appeasement of Russia, it's appeasement of the Neocons of the United States. US foreign policy has created the refugee problem in Europe and it has bankrupted the United States, and I think we're at the end of the rope because of it. Strategically, I think China and Russia have been feeding rope to the United States for the last 20 years, not interrupting their enemy as they made mistake, after mistake, after mistake.

US involvement in Ukraine is yet another mistake, and at best, the US will use that proxy war to fight Russia to a standstill, while China stays out of it except to purchase all the petroleum that Russia isn't selling to Europe, while Europe freezes to death in 4 months.

Yeah, it looks like that pseudo intellectual trope 'Foreign Policy' was captured by Mockingbird a long time ago. Anything coming out of the East Coast Ivies is nothing more than trembling professor shit, bowing before the might of the Globalist engines. They sure churn out the screed, though, which must mean if you can't improve the quality of the bullshit, you can baffle them with volume of bullshit, as long as it is presented in numbered, bulleted paragraphs.

You know what gets me is that the volume of bullshit in every "news" publication. Tedious writing, abesent of information, blah blah blah blah, they never just get to the point. It's all emotional outrage masked as "intellectualism".

Here, let me clean up the first paragraph from this:

https://archive.ph/WwH6l

original

One of my most revealing interviews covering Russia’s war on Ukraine was with Polina Kovalevskaya. Along with her husband and three daughters, she was a refugee from Mariupol, the Ukrainian city with a prewar population of almost 450,000 that was besieged by Russian forces for almost three months. After three horrific weeks of hiding in basements during incessant Russian shelling, the family managed to escape the city, which was already a mass grave and charred ruin by then. When I asked them for a photo of their former home, they sent me a video instead. In the clip, amid a vast expanse of smoldering rubble, a Russian tank fires point-blank at an apartment building that was somehow still standing. Part of the building implodes, adding to the total devastation for miles and miles around. “This was our home,” Kovalevskaya told me when describing the video.

Edited:

A Mariupol (a Ukrainian city with a prewar population of 450,000) woman claimed she went through 3 horrific weeks hiding in basements during constant Russian shelling. Her husband and 3 daughters escaped the city. When I asked her for a photo of their former home, she sent me a video instead where a Russian tank fired point-blank at an apartment building that inexplicably still continued to stand. She claimed this was her home. I didn't include the video though or make a link to it, because I'm a fucking propagandist and I appeal to emotion and not logic or facts - also I noticed the tank wasn't Russian, but rather Ukrainian.

It's like me in highschool having to write some bullshit report on something where I'm required to have so many pages, so I padded the FUCK out of it. That's EVERYTHING in media. Longer isn't better, it's considerably worse.

I hope the namesake of this thread is OK.

He was taken out by Mossad. Or, he noticed one sock of a pair kept missing from his wash, and got the message to disappear for a while.

Has this turned into the 'rw depreciation thread'? Is canning asses and link deficits sharpshooting more fun somewhere else now?

Maybe waiting for Iranian Indy Pedantic media to cast a story about how the Trump attack was really Shin Bet so he can regurgitate it.

Iranians don't seem to be a sufficient blame magnet for wasting the desert peoples with enthusiasm and revel. They have too many established blame magnets in their "Pantheons of Blame" to coin fresh upstarts.

Just looked at Dawson's bitchute. He hasn't gotten the Correct Line on the Trump Assassination from Teheran yet. His video on the Trump assassination for a few minutes, then he goes to Israel (imagine that) repeating that Hezbollah will obliterate Israel very soon like he has been for a decade.

The latest video is all about... Israel! Shock, I know. And how Israel has murdered 6 Gorillion Gazans, all women and children.

I think Dawson is reeling from gold buggery and Nesara Gesara fever. The news paranoia has become a sideline half baked. Iraqui Dinar and Zimbabwe Gold Dollar forever! It's coming, it's coming, just like five years ago, but the dangled carrot is getting closer! Haven't watched him in a good while, unless something has changed.

LOL, I can't believe people are still pushing the coming re-valuation of the Iraqi Dinar.

"The Media is getting money from NGOs and Government and Corporations via Advertising to lie to us!

But there's no way Iran is giving a few thousand bucks a month to internet bloviators to lie to us! That's impossible!"

Like Iran couldn't afford $100k/month to pay some big mouths on the internet to shill for them and a F/T employee back in Teheran to provide talking points and media clips. "INCONCEIIVABLE"

Internalized Leftism - only the West tells lies; the Turd World Oppressed are victims just trying to get the truth of their suffering out.

And good old fashioned blackwhite thinking: If my media is lying to me and bad, then the other media must be telling the truth and good.

How about they're ALL lying, half-truthing, manipulating, shifting emphasis, trying to control the frame? Nah, to much nuance.

LOL! Dawson also had a kind of druggie lethargic affect. Many of the pundits seem to be on the 'capture path' to eventually be swallowed up by 'interests'. Maybe that's the point. Enlist and entice a subscribed polity fan base then put your ass in the open market and cash in. After that, it's dictation time baby.
