I don't think I need to show a more recent official statement for my point to be valid. The Russian state considers 'invasion', 'war', and 'attack' to be punishable lies. If you think the official position of the Russian state has since changed, that's on you to provide the update.

It only mentions a fine because, as you mention, the statement predates passage of the new criminal law that threatens prison. That has since changed. The Russian state is only censoring intentional lies though, right? If calling this war an 'invasion' was a lie before the new law was passed, why would it suddenly stop being a lie afterwards?

Or perhaps this bill isn't important enough for you to thoroughly research either.

As I just stated above, "I agree".

Again, this was in the very early part of the operation, before it grew into what it is today.  RT is even calling it an invasion now, so highly doubt it would be considered intentional disinformation.

What's up with the snooty remarks?  I actual enjoy debating you as you're a lot smarter than most of the people here.

I am in a minority on the shroomery, as I frequently defend the opposing side when they have a point about something or when my side make believes something about them.  I also attack my side if I think they're wrong.  People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Is it really snooty to call you out on a tendency you admitted to earlier; in the very thread? Personally, I think an underhanded insult that implies most of the people here are "less smart" than me (aka more stupid) is a better demonstration of a snooty attitude.

Besides, why wouldn't I question if you weren't thoroughly researching things again? You "don't think using the term 'invasion' would get anyone in trouble" - even though I've repeatedly shown you an official statement of the Russian gov't acknowledging use of the term 'invasion' was punished, and you acknowledge reading it.

The issue of fines vs prison is a red herring here - what matters is that the Russian state has passed a law that criminalizes speech based on a flimsy standard of disinformation. You're out here blasting Canadian Content guidelines that force 20% of broadcasting to be Canadian in origin as censorship, but seemingly have no problem with 'invasion' potentially being censored by the Russian government depending on what month you decide to use it.

If anything, suggesting that you just haven't looked into things is me giving you the benefit of the doubt - because the other alternative is suggesting that you are intentionally misrepresenting the reality of state censorship in Russia.

To call it a "tendency" when it happened once is a stretch.

I explained this.  The rule was made at the beginning of the conflict, and now even RT is calling it an invasion.  Did you not see that?

Again, I said I'm ok with censoring intentionally fake news.  Since RT is even calling it an invasion now, it would appear that term is ok now.

You're being disingenuous.  I agreed I didn't fully understand C-11, which is mroe than you'll get from koods, who lies to cover a lie, and you're trying to generalize this as normal.  I think you know better.

It would be pretty great if there were some kind of consequences for the mainstream media here in the US deliberately spreading lies to justify wars.

Think about how much blood the mainstream media has on its hands. They are practically swimming in rivers of blood, enabled by their lies.

Job Oliver did a nice segment on truckers. It is mind blowing to me that truckers managed to gain that much platform and the best they could come up with is freedom, fuck Joe Biden, and anti-vaccine nonsense. Many of them are losing their asses in that profession and have basically zero recourse in the matter, so they honked their horns and rode around for fun. Makes sense.

It amazes me how many people still believe the likes of Oliver, Stewart, and Colbert are just regular independents talking truth to power! I really loved those guys back in the day when The Daily Show was peaking...

Looking back it was always partisan propaganda but it was effective in its subtlety and selectivity whereas now Colbert has become every bit as ridiculous and blatantly propagandist as his old alter-ego. It's interesting because back in the day it was those guys who made Tucker Carlson look like a corporate shill whereas now the roles have been reversed (not that I trust Tucker).

Nope. but its Jon Oliver right?

Don't really need to watch a video of Sean Hannity to know what it will be like or how he/fox operates.

Oliver is a funny likable guy but still peddles corporate propaganda at the end of the day, every bit as much as Hannity over at fox.

Olivers more dangerous though because being a funny and likable guy makes him more effective (trustworthy) at his job than the blatantly souless Hannity!

He presents quite a number of interesting facts about the trucking industry and also has a number of good videos where trucker's themselves talk about their involvement in the industry.

I never said it was perfect, I said it was a nice segment.

Feel free to jerk yourself off though.

I read an article this week with a guy saying there isn't a shortage of drivers. There's just a shortage of drivers willing to work for the big companies.

I talked to a truck about 6 weeks ago at Walmart. He said they were putting barely trained new drivers on the road,

Do you have something of value to say or are you too fixated on typos? Autocorrect is a thing and more often than not I don’t particularly care for perfect spelling or grammar because this is a drug forum, not a masters thesis. Your response is childish at best.

I love how the best responses to the source have thus far been "i have ascended to things more sophisticated" and "you spelled his name wrong."

Do you guys think this makes you sound smart? You literally can't even address the content, all you do is stroke your ego with some 7th grade level "I know you are but what am I" type bullshit. I can admit that while I dislike Tucker Carlson there are times where he says things worth hearing. It's called being honest, using some critical thinking, and acting like a fucking adult.

Here's a thought, truckers make shit wages while working absurd hours and getting screwed out of what should be paid time. It's discussed in the video. Can you guys get your hands off your dicks long enough to think about that?

So what! I said corporate propaganda, not corporations in general!

That is how left wing Comedy Central style propaganda works isn’t it, this far but no further? Manufacturing consent? On that very topic, the guy who coined that phrase ironically is/was one of the worst for manufacturing that same consent!

You yourself are the same koods (though far closer to Hannity than Oliver). A humanitarian apparently, crusading on a wide range of Neoliberal issues from trans-rights to Ukraine. But when it comes to the actual empire itself, US war crimes/Julian Assange, Canadian Truckers/Trudeau, etc, the aforementioned morality incongruously evaporates!

Quote:

About what?

If Jon Oliver (and his network) really cared about Truckers he would have used his show to express outrage over what was happening to them a few months back in Canada.

Suddenly it’s hands across America for Truckers?

Why do you think that might be?
They are needed back onside would be my bet!
