It's just like people who drink beer inevitably decide to drink spirits. It's either nothing or everything with people with no middle ground. So if any activity can be taken to an unhealthy extreme, then logically, it should be avoided entirely. Foolproof logic.
Quote from: Cassia on April 20, 2024, 09:54:47 PM Holy ham sandwiches. Reports say his nice Russian friends raped and tortured him before killing him. What a way to go.That's unconfirmed. We don't know for a fact that he's dead, either. But his "comrades" claim to be avenging him by attacking Ukrainians - who didn't kill him - so that's as close to a confirmation that we're going to get.
Quote from: Hydra009 on April 20, 2024, 08:48:09 PMUS citizen who fought for Russia reportedly killed by RussiansHoly ham sandwiches. Reports say his nice Russian friends raped and tortured him before killing him. What a way to go. He was pro-communism. He did realize that The Russian Federation is no longer the USSR, right? Why are there so many fucking crazy-ass Americans? Liked that guy who cooked himself, leaving a gibberish conspiracy manifesto.

He certainly had a wandering history and not great critical thinking skills, which saw him increasingly under the influence of Second World narratives and also felony drug trafficking (he visited Cuba and evidently brought souvenirs back to the US). His hot takes are breathtakingly asinine and/or easily disproven - he reportedly said that the reason the "operation" was taking so long is because Russia was being careful to minimize civilian casualties. Literally couldn't drain the water from a pail even if instructions were printed on the side. Good riddance.
QuoteOn a Telegram channel previously run by him, Bentley's wife Lyudmila has said he had been "abducted" by Russian soldiers from a tank battalion, calling on them to let him go.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_Bentley
Quote from: Ecbarrowes on April 20, 2024, 05:09:33 PM"Knowledge" can have such potent force that in all self-honesty, you cannot deny it. Absolute certainty of a thing can be delivered to the soul by God. In order to distinguish such from other ideas which are not truly "known" requires a calm, clear mind, introspection, self-honesty.
