Who exactly is "all about Putin"?

[newthinking]

All this "Putinista" bullshit.

Who exactly is focused on Putin, those people who are interested in expressing their understanding about events in Ukraine that are in contrast or outside of the narrow theme that is being pushed?

Or could it be people that are invested in a certain viewpoint, or that have been reduced to seeing events in the world through the eyes of a few major geopolitical players and a media whom is more interested in promoting a less complex story in order to maximize revenues and not risk?

There is much more going on in Ukraine then Russia. There is an entire other story in which millions of innocent people are on the edge of what would be a catastrophic civil war.

I think I can speak for others when I say "Fuck Putin and fuck all the other international and the national actors that are more interested in their own power over others, their personal pride, or their "strategic interests".

Go ahead and call me a "Putinist", but doing so is really only hurting yourself. Because in so doing you have just done the think that you think you do not want to do. And in the process you will have just shut down an opportunity for empathy and understanding.

2. intellectual dishonesty

has always been around, but it seems to be becoming an epidemic.


wikipedia:
"Intellectual dishonesty is the advocacy of a position which the advocate knows or believes to be false or clearly misleading, or is the advocacy of a position which the advocate does not know to be true, and has not performed rigorous due diligence to insure the truthfulness of the position."
