Focusing on discrimination in russia right now is WAR PROPAGANDA.
THAT'S the argument I've been making.
Ok. I get where you're coming from, and this is an important point of INFORMATION WARFARE / PROPAGANDA. In this aspect, I'll agree with you guys and admit that as distasteful to me as sexual/gender discrimination is, I will admit that that it is MUCH less important than the ramifications of war. But, ignoring or whitewashing the REAL discrimination that going on is, in my view, not the answer here. I would advocate calling out Russian discrimination towards homosexuals, AND calling out American aggression towards .. well.. the whole fucking world but Russia in particular right now. Especially Russia, even, because it is insanely egregious. Look, guys. It's obvious by now that we all have very different perspectives... Juan is coming from a libertarian view, Razer from more of a socialist / Communist view .. and I from a wild-eyed, messy hair / skid-marks in my shorts anarchist framework but in terms of trying to hold governments accountable, it seems like that may be the point of common ground we share. IW strategy is important, but the BEST IW strategy is FACTS. If we can be FACTUAL about American, Russian, Belizian, and other government misdeeds, and failures -- that is the ONLY way we're going to be able to generate the momentum to challenge them. After the governments crumble, and the dust settles, then we can hang out, have a few beers, and philosophize about libertarianism vs. socialism vs syndicalism vs martianism vs whatever. But even all that is nonsense. I, for one, will call out factual inaccuracies when I see them. I hope others do that for me. Our interpretation of the facts my vary, but we should be able to acknowledge the FACTS.
