  Given that they were nazi propaganda in 1938 and creating the October 7 mass rape narrative… it’s not that much of a stretch.

  Utterly aside from the general content of this thread.

  I know nothing of the pieces printed or their leanings, nor is it relevant for the purposes of this response.

  That argument is the weakest of sauces, drizzled over a disappointing bad-faith steak.

  A single article doesn’t define a whole paper (nor was that claimed).

  A papers’ reputation doesn’t give them a free pass for printing something outside of their normal editorial quality control.

  Argue the actual claims, this bad faith deflection bullshit is fooling no-one.

    Oh look an ml account repeating the Ukraine nazi Russian propaganda talking point. How surprising.

    When this is the claim being replied to, forgive me and anyone else from not giving it any graces. Especially when it is starting with as you say

    That argument is the weakest of sauces, drizzled over a disappointing bad-faith steak.

    Especially when a user is literally calling what the leader of Ukraine did last week Russian propaganda.

      They came in hot, you go at it, zero problems with that from me.

      All I meant is that you should go at it with actual arguments.

      Even if they are objectively incorrect, responding with deflection and fallacy makes your position look weak, like you don’t have an actual point.

        My point is there isn’t an argument to be made. We’re in a games thread about how gog is out downplaying nazi symbols just as a Ukrainian nazi collaborator got state honors and that is called Russian propaganda.

        How are we in a place where nazis aren’t ostracized
