Yeah I only ever read on there these days, it's doesn't have much traffic these days, can't be more than a dozen properly active posters which is a shame.That place still going?
I thought it closed down a few years back.
Am as usual over here we start being stupid.
Firstly the fella was german and lived in Manchester.
Secondly he decried and criticised the russian empire
Thirdly his wrote in his papers he believed in self determimation for Ukraine, belarus and the baltic regions.
This is as daft as when we renamed German Shepherds and many streets named after Germans and pretended the royal family weren't bavarian in 1914.
Most replies are critcising the mill and Home for either attenton seeking, knee jerk wokeism or being clueless about history, they have updated they won't remove it but want to tell the story of it to better explain it's existance and ties to Ukraine (where the artsist found it)
And that’s just by Americans.America is a very misunderstood nation.
Weird really. A day or two earlier you were expressing similar anti-NATO and anti-US views and were saying NATO bore some responsibility for Russia’s invasion. You also said that Ukraine should not be allowed to join NATO. Next you post an opinion piece without an accompanying personal comment that pretty much expresses the same opinion and goes a little further in some areas and you expect people not to assume that you endorse it?Weird really, I posted an opinion piece from a Marxist perspective.
I did not endorse the article, i posted it so that other posters could read that different perspectives from the prevailing BM perspective were available. The article was then moderated.
Has BM become like Putin's Russia were censorship is rife and only the official party line is tolerated. I wonder if many of the people who aimed abuse at me see the irony in that.
Anyway you can not beat a good BM pile on, but I am a big boy, I can take abuse, but remember I can also give it out, especially to those who think that by myself posting an article makes me some sort of idiot. Thanks to those who gave me abuse, you proved my point quite beautifully. You are the victims of propaganda in exactly the same way that the Russian people are victims of Putin's propaganda.
Hoping people can stop saying "It's not the Russians, it is Putin".
The Russian troops are committing horrendous atrocities, absolute vile scum.
How do people feel about the 367000 Russians living over here I wonder?Hoping people can stop saying "It's not the Russians, it is Putin".

You're moaning about this but you’re bloody loving the confrontation side of having posted it, since you’re only really replying to or talking about the people who are being most confrontational about you posting it.Weird really, I posted an opinion piece from a Marxist perspective.

Didn't the people say they were taking fire from a Ukrainian checkpointFucking terrifying and exactly what these cunts are doing to innocent Ukrainian civilians.
So much for safe corridors for civilians.
If it wasn't for the body armour, one of them would be dead.
How do you feel about the 367000 Russians living over here?
It is Russian soldiers, government and Putin who deserve revulsion but is every Russian fair game for hatred then or just them?
And believe me I am not trying to sympaphise with Russians amd beleive the actions to ban goods from their correct, however if we have learnt anything from the past, once an anti-(unsert country or race) mindset starts appearing hysteria and wrongful predujice appears.
1914 and the secatrianism towards German Jews in London being a prime.example

Say it quietly, don't get excited yet, but is it just starting to seem possible the Ukrainians might even defeat most of this?
Increasing reports about the state of the Russian army and Air force, and the destruction of Russian materiel.
Maybe wishful thinking, certainly at least a dose of Ukraine propaganda, but still, could they repel the Russians in some or even most of the country?
Eg
Didn't the people say they were taking fire from a Ukrainian checkpoint
Let's not twist what I've said here pal and misquote what I've said.
I suggested that the troops and militias on the ground have a choice. They don't HAVE to carry out Putin's orders and on top of that are committing horrendous war crimes. It isn't JUST Putin.
Also the Oligarch's are extremely close to Putin. Abramovich has played a PR blinder this week but let's not pretend he isn't close to Putin. All of them have a choice but they're spineless and cowards.
ah ok, very scary whoever it was, you wouldn't get me doing what they are doing for all the tea in china , must have balls of steelNo. They said they thought it was a Ukrainian checkpoint, then realised it wasn’t when they got shot at.
