Ex-Pussy Riot member Rita Flores says she was FSB informant for nearly 3 years before escaping Russia

Because she was a hostage. It's akin to human trafficking with threats backing this up.

How do you believe this is the Prisoner's Dilemma?
I think 99.9% would make the same choice.

By all means then, head to Russia and fight the good fight then, buddy!
Lead by example. Prove me wrong.

What's your most common fear? Not the greatest, but the one that you face most times in a day?
My most common are also my greatest.
Fear of death of my parents.
The risk of harm to my kids.

Using fascist technology to fight fascism still promotes fascist technology.

The right is too ignorant to fix anything, let alone advocate for regulation and nationalization as I stated.

Largely agree. AI isn't going away; the left needs to take a page out of Sanders and advocate instead for nationalizing and regulating instead.

So no using guns either. Got it.
Sometimes I think these are righties just trying to limit the left's ability to push back.
PS the phone or pc you're using alongside the internet service in 99% of cases originates from inhumane and ostensibly fascist origins that rape the lands, use major server farms (data centers), and exploit cheap labor, and advances oligarchies. Better brick them, right..?

Several injured after sword attack at Swedish school
Reply in thread
Let's play a hypothetical game:
You get a wooden broomstick with paint on it, and I get a paintball gun.
Let's see how many people we can mark with paint before unarmed people take us down in the exact same amount of time.
There's something called lethal effectiveness. But if you disagree, then I guess we should inform our military that knives would be a perfectly effective substitute over rifles and save taxpayers greats amount of money.
Put another way: This actually proves targeting certain kinds of weapons IS effective, because they substituted for a lesser-effective weapon. If the person had a rifle like Holmes or Lanza or the countless others with many magazines or drums of ammunition, these people wouldn't be "injured"; many would be dead. Just like the recent Idaho shooting.
In that instance, the lunatic walks up to a guy's window with a handgun and shoots him point-blank through his window. Can't do that with a sword so easily, can you? His locked door and window glass would've sufficiently protected him.
We need to identify and intervene before any attack happens.
We can, and should, do both simultaneously.

Exclusive: Navy weighs renaming carrier slated to honor Black war hero, potentially switching it to Trump
Reply in thread
Yes I'm totally sure a Democrat who never attacked Iran and didn't start the majority of wars in the past 30 years and who extensively campaigned alongside the former president who also didn't attack Iran but instead established an unprecented and successful diplomatic deal to avoid just that totally would have... ;)
/s for those in the back.

It only counts when I say it does
They'll point to Israel, Israel, Israel. Okay, sure, agreed.
But when you point out that China, North Korea, and Russia are all engaging in a blatant genocide against Ukraine -- they suddenly cannot grasp the concept!

I am still convinced a sizable chunk of online tankies are just right-wing extremists cosplaying. Oh, and of course foreign operatives.

If you knew you'd likely receive a million dollars, 5 years from today, would you do anything differently in preparation?
Just a million? Pay off remaining debts and put the rest toward buying land to retire on.

His view on Israel has shifted considerably. I don't blame him for trying to highlight the parallels to gain favor and cooperation immediately after October 7. Naturally he's signaling, "Ah, you're going through what we've been going through! Let's work together!"
Though of course after months went on and Israel's response became orders of magnitude more atrocious and russian-like than the attack itself, then Ukraine began distancing itself and even providing aid to Gaza.

As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.
But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.
