    Hm, very scintillating, old sport! There’s just one problem. You’re making unverified claims to me!

    I will require each hyperlink that you consider misleading, along with the passage where it is found.

    Because I recall each and every one was related to the passage it was found in.

    There are no peer reviewed scientific papers about the Maidan, you complete dolt. It’s a color revolution, not a pond of tadpoles.

    Instead what we have are Ukrainian sources you have trusted before admitting what their enemies already told them, far too late.

    Get to work!

      I won’t entertain bad faith arguments, but I’d recommend you read up more on the Maidan to gain some historical context. You’ll likely make some alterations to your opinion, and shatter bits of your worldview. Also there’s plenty of peer reviewed academic papers on the Maidan, e.g. https://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt1zkjxq0.11

        Lol you think a social science paper is the same as a study. You’re such a specious thinker. Did you really just search Maidan on Google scholar to try to impress me? I’m going to bend you over.

        You want to read a book, big boy? Open wide!

        Your history of Ukraine begins 2022. I have more than one-hundred times the depth of knowledge on this subject you do.

          I’m not sure why you think commiting to insults has an impact on your claims, but carry on! I’ll continue to support thoughtful discourse and debate!

            You can’t seriously be trying to act glib after you ignored the basic point I made about the social sciences due to sheer ignorance. The world is not a laboratory.

            Articles like the ones I posted often become chapters in books, and are just as suitable as the paper you cited when it comes to examining the recent history of Ukraine.

            There is no way for you to disguise your intellectual humiliation, flat out refusing to examine the sources I provided, or prove that they are themselves inaccurately sourced. You have nothing but your own confirmation bias to sustain you.

            Now go do your homework, Bandera boy. I gave you plenty.

              Your belief that the articles you shared will become chapters in history is laughable. They’ll exist sure, but they’ll carry no merit as their bias paints a dark stain on their impact. Through simple logic and reasoning, the bias is easily sniffed out. Please learn to apply some common sense when carrying out debate in public forums. It’s a step towards being decent.

                You’re all alone with your reddit debate bro shit man, you’re not fooling anybody. We all know it’s a bluff. This is what you do whenever you see anything you disagree with: label it disinformation. It’s the same strategy as narcissistic twitter bluechecks. You’re employing an embarrassing, lazy, overused rhetorical strategy that has literally not worked a single time.

                  My understanding is that Lemmy is a platform to allow individuals to discuss topics in an open forum setting. I’m here to be open minded and listen, but debate is a two-way street. In order to promote open discussion, participants in a democratic process need to be willing to discuss their beliefs with others. It’s important to participate in this process as it’s how I believe humanity can grow stronger. Our struggles as humans are the same, we must understand the differing viewpoints others have come to realize in order to promote a better world.
