#bothSides

En høyreekstrem groyper dreper den høyrerkstreme hatpredikanten Charlie Kirk: #WTFNRK livestreamer propagandashow med hat mot liberale. En ICE-agent skyter en småbarnsmor fire ganger i hode på kloss hold og sier «fucking bitch»: #WTFNRK drar #bothsides og formidler regimets løgner. Altså WTF #NRK?

Når #WTFNRK drar hjernedød #bothsides igjen og igjen i denne sake, la det være sagt at dette er de to sidene. NRK Nyheter har mistet all legitimitet.

oh, and the most popular #bothsides academic counter-narrative, "moral foundations theory" has just been dealt ANOTHER massive blow: ZERO evidence for it in terms of persuasive framing in a a large-scale study: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

History is clear on this
the idiots stoking the flames may want to rethink that

@Sui Sorry, didn’t realize you weren’t done:

Putin sent an army into somebody else’s place. They have killed lots and lots of people there. They are brutal and sadistic fucks and have committed hundreds of war crimes. If Putin stops fighting in Ukraine there is no war. If Ukraine stops fighting in Ukraine there is no Ukraine - and we have seen how Putin treats the other territories he has conquered. Get this crap out of here.

@Sui Dude, Putin sent an army into somebody else’s place. They have killed lots and lots of people there. They are brutal and sadistic fucks and have committed hundreds of war crimes.

@Sui Sounds like crap to me. Of the three, Putin is the only one that could unilaterally create peace without risking his people.

Jeebus! What did David Brooks do to bring this about? #bothsides Obama & the Tea Party-captured GOP, as Jonathan Chait of all people pointed out in 2016! Brooks called for a renewed center between Trump & Sanders, ignoring the existence of Obama & how he'd treated him: nymag.com/intelligence...

RE: https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:dtwphuxvtvimwtra5yh4ujt4/post/3mawuk3tshj2l

One might think so. But Brooks spent the last eight years defining the center as something Obama was not. It didn’t matter that Obama supported a health-care plan first devised by Mitt Romney, or a cap-and-trade plan endorsed by John McCain. Brooks nestled himself into the territory between Obama and the angry, no-compromise Republicans who were shutting down government and boycotting all negotiations with the president. If Obama endorsed the policies Brooks preferred, he would simply pretend that Obama had not proposed them. Indeed, one of the most common genres of David Brooks column was a sad lament that neither party would endorse policies that in fact Obama had explicitly and publicly called for.

Which is a better gloss? #bothsides? Or "The best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of a passionate intensity?" My bet's with Yeats.

A quotation from Orwell

When one thinks of the cruelty, squalor, and futility of war — and in this particular case of the intrigues, the persecutions, the lies and the misunderstandings — there is always the temptation to say: “One side is as bad as the other. I am neutral.” In practice, however, one cannot be neutral, and there is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.

George Orwell (1903-1950) English writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
Essay (1942-08), “Looking Back on the Spanish War, ch. 5, Such, Such Were the Joys, essay 8 (1953)

They're playing both sides, so they always come out on top.

If a pyromaniac wanted to burn down your house and you were fighting back, Marco Rubio would suggests you instead let him burn down half your house as a compromise.

Rubio posting:

Ending a complex and deadly war such as the one in Ukraine requires an extensive exchange of serious and realistic ideas.
And achieving a durable peace will require both sides to agree to difficult but necessary concessions. That is why we are and will continue to develop a list of potential ideas for ending this war based on input from both sides of this conflict.
