    You do realize that critically commenting on his essay (which is what your linked article does) and sitting there with a stupid face letting him ramble about nonsense unchallenged for two hours are two very different things?

    One is a responsible(ish) journalistic approach to a difficult topic, the other is just making yourself his vicarious agent for the sake of the outrage and money.

    I wouldn’t criticize that someone would interview him in a journalistic responsible way but that’s not what happened, because Putin would not let that happen.

    You yourself said in your first comment that the Kremlin turned a lot of journalists requests for interviews down - gee I wonder why? I wonder why they turned down people trying to interview him that have at least an ounce of journalistic integrity and instead invited someone who is repeating Russian propaganda for almost two years now.

    I’d say this was actually a great outcome of an interview as most people heard his ramblings, laughed at it, and turned it off. Further making Putin and Russia look bad. That’s a great outcome.

    Sure, you and I laughed about Putins nonsense, Tuckers stupid face and whatnot but Tuckers audience has been primed with Russian talking points for almost two years, those people will have open ears for this revisionistic bullshit. The outcome is not positive at all, it is dangerous, a grade A demagogue and puppeteer sat down with a puppet and was able to throw his ideological corner stones over the border of his own state controlled media and that is frightening.

    You didn’t understand the backlash of Tucker helping Putin spread his propaganda to Tuckers audience?

    Because everybody knew beforehand he is not gonna do a hard interview. Instead he went with a warmongering fascist dictator and let him ramble his worldview to his audience basically unchallenged and you don’t see a problem with that?





  • The start of the issue was when Europeans wanted Jewish people out of Europe after WW2 so they stole a shit ton of land that’s important to three different religions from the Palestinians and called it Israel…

    That’s not what happened. There was a strong desire for a Jewish state in Palestine for hundreds of years, in the beginning of the 20th century this was accelerated through the British mandate and immigration. The real story is way more complex and your representation of it is not only wrong but also negates the agency the Jewish population living there for centuries had in creating the Jewish state.

    Of course the horrors of the Holocaust had part in the decision but it was not because “Europeans wanted Jews out”

    Like I said the real history is waaaaay more complex, I suggest you read up on it - the History of the British mandate is a got starting point.

    Edit: link didn’t post for some reason - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandatory_Palestine


  • Another dishonest tactic - deflecting to an unimportant part of the argument to hold up the participant with needless explanations for metaphorical concepts.

    What the other user meant is that all we know about space travel is, that we need a lot of protective layers around our crafts just for leaving the atmosphere, so one would assume that craft that supposedly travel hundreds of light-years would need a very sophisticated kind of protection. But there is no way to deliver evidence to a theoretical concept, hence why I said your arguing is in bad faith my dear.

    edit: and now he takes the cowards way out of a failing argument by deleting his comments. That’s another tactic - ending the conversation, rendering all our arguments worthless and essential wasting our time. Jean Paul Sartre described it well in his quote about anti semitism.


  • It’s impossible to prove a negative, you simply can not prove that something ISN’T there. It’s such a transparent deflection and you know that, it’s a common conspiracy tactic, dishonest argument 101.

    As long as there is no physical evidence that proves the existence of extra terrestrial UFO we have to assume that they are not real. So if you want to maintain they exist, you’ll have to cough up some proof.


  • I am not a professional, but I don’t think that small vibrations could damage the mic. But those bumps and vibrations can create noises in the recording, since the condenser moves and creates a noise. Those shock mounts primary use is to minimize the noises by absorbing the vibration.

    The bigger wear on the condenser is you I would say, by talking into it, dirt and humidity travels into the mic and can over time deteriorate the parts and the recording quality. But this is normal wear.
