    Give me a single example of me misrepresenting his arguments.

      Attempts were made to explain how you misrepresented the position, but you have been unable to respond except by asserting further misrepresentations and hurling additional insults.

      You need to stop arguing and to start reflecting.

        So you couldn’t find any.

        Perhaps you could try to figure out the differences between arguments someone makes and the conclusions someone arrives at, seeing those arguments.

        Did JT directly say he supports the war? Of course not! That would be character suicide

        Does he imply very heavily the way he argues and who he blames for the war? Absolutely.

        You know I am so sure we agree on many things, especially concerning economics and socialism, but if you can’t see how JT has fallen off dramatically, I have nothing to say to you

          Wars have many causes.

          Some are personal. Some are systemic.

          Some are immediate. Some are long term.

          Putin obviously started the war.

          The war also has other causes, obviously.

          No thoughtful person tries to collapse the entire situation into a few terse generalizations.

          Again, someone is not completely wrong because of having ideas not identical to yours.

          Your understanding of others is not as accurate and robust as you believe.

            I agree, wars have many causes.

            This war, all of those causes are Ruzzian.

            Not only has JT not once blamed ruzzia for the war, he has only misrepresented facts and directly lied about the causes.

            This is not about you or me, I assume we both are intelligent enough to understand the underlying causes of the war.

                He never said anything about ruzzia, thats the problem. On his video about the war, all he does is blame the west for causing it

                  The subject of discussion is the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

                  If you are complaining that someone is discussing the Russian invasion of Ukraine without affirming that Russia invaded Ukraine, then you are giving a rather stupid objection.

                    Have you watched his video? If you have, the tone would be obvious as he never once blames ruzzia for anything, calls ukranians puppets under western control and calls the war a proxy war.
