If you decide to open this PDF, I have one small request: please don't label it USA 2026. Instead, refer to it as Qatar 2022.
I realize this might make things slightly more confusing for Spock, but it will certainly make the document much easier for Americans to digest.
Much appreciated.👍

Sarah Cooper58 said:How can you not understand? The war started suddenly on February 24th.

If you write something remotely similar to that today, you’re instantly labeled a Putin supporter, yet the moderators let it slide without a second thought.

Oh, naturally. It’s just as obvious as claiming the conflict began back in 1995 when certain factions launched unprovoked attacks on the frontier.
Anyone suggesting otherwise is simply slandering and lying.🙂

Anthony Perez9 said:This is coming from one pretty troubled individual, who claims that basic public schooling is basically "slavery and extreme violence that needs to be abolished" ...... 🤦

And now we’re supposed to paint him as your typical atheist and the reason why all non-believers should be kicked out of the religion subforum. ☕

God, what a bunch of ultra-leftist demagoguery.

And screw all that; even we social democrats have drifted into the extreme left ourselves...🤦

You know, next time you try to insult me, do try a little harder to actually get under my skin, even if just for a second. And while you're at it, it would be wise to ensure you don't look completely foolish in the process.🤣

Kenneth Cruz67 said:Honestly, it doesn't even necessarily have to be a democratic bomb; I mean, as long as it was bought with democratic money, I suppose that's all that matters. 🤔

Go screw yourself, buddy.
I saw you over on the midterm election thread and honestly thought you were getting played, so I came over here thinking I’d back you up—but apparently, I was dead wrong...🎉

Nicholas Barnes74 said:Religion again.
The second a moderator thinks someone is being homophobic, they just shut the whole thread down immediately.
Check out this snippet from yesterday: "Actually, Catholics are the biggest idolaters and cursed ones before God—it’s clearly stated in the Bible." (
Now, just imagine if they had said "gay people" instead of "Catholics."
The sanctions would have kicked in right away, I guess.
But hey, you can say whatever you want about Catholics. No rules there, apparently.
P.s. I reported it, but like always, it was pretty much useless.

While I’m certainly no fan of Catholics—nor believers in general, and especially not you—as an atheist, this kind of hypocrisy really grinds my gears.
You’ve hit the nail on the head: if we can talk about Catholics this way, then we should be able to talk about gay people, men with vaginas, Ukrainians, Jews—or honestly, anyone else. Though, in my opinion, it would be better if these things were discussed using more appropriate language.
The goal of this forum is for the Boss to make money, so whatever nonsense happens to be trendy passes through—you can only look for justice somewhere else and hope to find a fairer place.

feralpilot0 said:This entire thread is proof of the kind of nonsense happening in the Religion section—it crossed the line of good taste and civilized behavior a long time ago.

Exactly. We really don't need this kind of mindless idiocy on the PŽK.

Michelle Howard2 said:What a total disaster. Honestly, this thing is just going to pick up more fans over time, and you can see it right here in this thread—it’s attracting everyone from the sharpest minds to the crowd that's basically running the show these days. And trust me, the future they’re heading toward isn't nearly as bright as the movie tries to pretend. 😁

I'm not sure if anyone actually bothered to check the subtitles or see what else was tucked away in there... there's an entire alternative ending. 😁

What makes you say it's trash?

Jacob Cooper5 said:Idiocracy is basically the Picasso 21st Century version of our reality... honestly.

And don't think you have it easy either. Hang in there; give it some time, and soon enough, you'll be navigating this whole mess like a pro.

Richard Wilson4 said:Look, people only say stuff like that when they're trying way too hard to act like they're the smartest ones in the room.

The whole thing is just a mediocre comedy with a few decent jokes thrown in.

Plus, let's be real, most people today are way smarter and more educated by any standard than folks were back in 1950 or 1980.

Take the Netherlands, for example—if you look at their military records, the IQ keeps climbing with every single generation.

It’s a shame you clearly aren't part of that supposed majority, because if you were, you wouldn't feel the need to get so defensive...🙂

Kenneth Cruz67 said:Honestly, I feel like Soros isn't even what he used to be anymore. Between the crumbling servers and the even more broken software, he hasn't exactly lived up to his old reputation, I guess. 🤣

Either that, or maybe the boss just pocketed the cash. 😁

The boss is becoming an even bigger version of Soros...🤣

Look, I’ll take the computer off your hands, but in exchange, you’re going to have to keep your colleague in check so I don't end up losing my temper and treating him like a stray cat.
Tell him not to expect anything better than that.😒

Speaking from my experience as a high-ranking police inspector, I understand the nuanced distinction between a mere counterfeit and an actual criminal forgery.
Furthermore, as a seasoned Christian theologian, I have spent years learning how to properly categorize complex ideas and present them with absolute clarity.

To see both perspectives crammed into a single post—well, goodness me.👍🤣

Regarding this post:

That’s an astute observation. It is quite fascinating that a colleague who identifies as a Stalinist would deliberately lean on the exact same arguments used by Russian nationalist historians to justify the partitions of Poland back in the 18th century—essentially claiming, "we just took what was ours." It seems the red-and-brown ideology is trending here as well.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy using Reddit

I am responding with this post because it is blindingly obvious that Shakespeare is taking aim at me:

And which colleague is declaring themselves a Stalinist?

Then Smith goes ahead and writes this post in blue text, purely as a way to ask me for my moderation ban card:

bluecyclist64, people read the archives, so they saw what you wrote.

Let's not get sidetracked by the current war; stay on topic.

I am looking for the administration to discipline Smith for this kind of behavior, which is completely beneath a moderator.
And you, Smith, I suggest you watch your step very carefully: either prove that I have ever identified as a Stalinist anywhere—or apologize and learn some basic decency. Don't take this lightly like you did when you were dodging accountability before.

driftingtinker said:You’re spinning webs and chasing fantasies again. To be clear, that user didn't "fall" because of any single event; they simply collapsed under the weight of their own reputation, largely due to how they've behaved in other threads.
If you want to discuss anything regarding UA, please head over to our dedicated subforum specifically set aside for those topics.

I honestly couldn't care less about this specific subforum anymore. I was actually having a decent conversation with Linda King, but that’s been completely derailed by a bunch of mindless sports fanatics.

I don't particularly care for the local bickering happening over there, but it’s clear that you and the rest of that crowd have grown quite weary of the status quo. You were all clearly clicking away at those little icons out of pure frustration; I only moved the thread because I couldn't bring myself to just delete it entirely. Perhaps someone from the local community over in the US will eventually take it upon themselves to actually compare the various greetings. If they do, I suspect it'll just be more of the same endless whining and lamentation.

Please, don't project your own insecurities onto me. It’s quite unnecessary. If you ever found yourself forgotten or sidelined in the real world, I suspect you’d be the first one to break down in tears—especially if you tried carrying that same arrogant, pathetic attitude from this forum out into actual society. People behave poorly here because there is a chronic shortage of moderators, and frankly, Nixon's salary clearly isn't high enough to justify him wasting any time worrying about how people conduct themselves on a message board like this.

Well, thank you for that. You’ve gone ahead and demonstrated exactly how infantile you can be.

driftingtinker said:I wouldn't normally step in, even though I found that awkward little situation involving HH to be quite distasteful, but those small details ultimately tipped the scales for me. We have a specific subforum dedicated entirely to discussions regarding UA, and we make it a point to monitor it closely. We have to stay vigilant because things tend to spiral in the wrong direction far too easily. We’ve already seen several highly active members get sanctioned there, and they are clearly just biding their time until they find an opportunity to stir up trouble somewhere else.

Where on earth did you find any "fun" in dealing with HH? And what kind of nonsensical connection could those little kids possibly have to anything happening here? Is it really enough for someone like Antilles, Sale, or rowdytiger13—or some other stepmother figure—to flag a post just so you can delete it or move it nine hundred miles out into the middle of nowhere? What is the actual reasoning behind this? What exactly is controversial about our posts, and which specific forum rules were supposedly violated?
When someone flags a post, the moderator should actually take a moment to evaluate whether the report has any merit before jumping straight to deleting, moving, or issuing a penalty. It’s common sense. Honestly, I’ve seen other forums where they hand over that entire process to some mindless AI because the moderation is so poorly handled, but you’ve managed to prove that you don't have the slightest clue what either "evaluation" or "moderation" actually means.
Furthermore—why on earth should Guns N' Roses or I care about the partial economic fallout from the situation in Ukraine? We don't have any skin in that game, nor do we stand to gain a single cent from it.

driftingtinker said:I believe I have addressed all your concerns. Have a pleasant day.

You haven't explained a single thing; you've just once again demonstrated your complete incompetence at moderating this forum.
If you actually had any integrity, you would explain exactly what was problematic about our posts instead of just posting useless little graphics like some girl on Instagram.

To top it off, there’s that veiled threat of moderator action regarding such a trivial topic... What, am I not allowed to speak out against fascism over there either—unless, of course, it isn't Russian?

Linda King said:I actually set aside some dedicated time to craft a rebuttal for bluecyclist64, specifically to demonstrate just how misguided their position really is. I feel like a complete fool now; I finally sat down to hit send on my response, only to realize that there isn't a single thing left to say. Everything has already been posted.

Honestly, I feel like an idiot myself. I’d love to give that a read.

Linda King said:I’d like to formally request that the deleted posts be reinstated. Looking through the threads, I noticed Red Shrike’s contribution was removed, yet I fail to see how he violated any community guidelines. He used the term "non-communist"—honestly, what a massive overreaction. It feels a bit much. Even bluecyclist64 could probably defend himself against such a terrifyingly controversial phrase.

Of course I can, though it doesn't mean my heart isn't heavy over the loss.

I find myself in complete agreement with my colleague—this whole situation is an absolute mess, orchestrated by an overzealous moderator who clearly lacks even the most basic understanding of their responsibilities.

Bring back the posts. And someone please finally explain to that clown of a moderator that this forum isn't his own private sandbox.

It’s the classic profile of a manchild. You see it everywhere if you look closely enough—that specific brand of arrested development where someone refuses to take any responsibility for their own existence. It’s exhausting to witness, honestly. I remember dealing with a colleague back when I was working in Chicago who embodied this perfectly; he would dodge every difficult conversation and blame his "environment" for every minor setback, acting as if life were something happening *to* him rather than something he was actively participating in. It’s a tiresome way to live, and even more tiresome for those forced to navigate around them. As I was reading through this, it struck me how much we tend to overlook the subtle shifts in the geopolitical landscape until they become unavoidable storms. It’s a pattern I’ve seen play out many times before—people focusing on the immediate noise while ignoring the structural changes happening right under their feet. It reminds me of a situation back when I was working in finance in Chicago; everyone was obsessed with the daily fluctuations of the market, completely missing the fact that the entire regulatory framework was being rebuilt around them. We often make the same mistake with international affairs. We react to the headline, but we fail to account for the slow, deliberate movement of the pieces on the board.
Can you see the comma between them?

Of course I see it—and yes, I’m using it as a comma in a list. I can't really be blamed if you struggle to construct a coherent sentence.
Writing "In Europe — Gibraltar, Japan" carries the exact same implication as writing "In Europe: Gibraltar, Japan." And if you follow that logic, you're essentially claiming that Japan is part of Europe. Since you work in education, do me a favor: go ask an American English professor if you actually have a shot at being right here, just so you can embarrass yourself even further.

Guns of Brixton As I was saying:
Look, I’ve always maintained that Bandera was nothing more than a Nazi collaborator, plain and simple. As for "Slava Ukraini," I don't have any particular issue with it. It's not like I feel a deep, personal connection to that specific greeting or anything, but I can live with it. At the end of the day, ZDS is HH, and that's just how things stand.

Then why on earth did you frame that greeting as something positive in your previous posts about Ukraine? Back then, were you truly unaware of its implications, or did you simply not care that people were being slaughtered like cattle under the banner of that slogan?

What really gets to me is how people immediately try to delegitimize the Ukrainian resistance the moment they see symbols like Azov or hear "Slava Ukraini" and mentions of Bandera. It’s become this convenient way to pivot the conversation—they latch onto those specific names and refuse to look at anything else. On the flip side, there is this massive, glaring refusal to acknowledge the actual fascism at play here. People seem to ignore the genocidal ideologies that set this entire mess in motion. They won't even mention the absolute filth—the Nazi and Islamist paramilitary groups sent into Ukraine just to kill and loot, or the ones tasked with assassinating the Ukrainian president. It's a selective kind of blindness that ignores the root of the violence in favor of a convenient distraction.

The resilience of the Ukrainian people against aggression? It makes you wonder—why didn't they push back sooner, given they've been under constant shelling in the Donbas for eight years?
And what exactly are these "genocidal ideas" you claim sparked this conflict? Where on earth are you seeing genocide in their actions? It’s funny how you can ignore that, yet somehow miss an eight-year campaign against Russians. You won't find much about that in the Western media, will you? Though, to be fair, even they were reporting on it at one point.

Tens of thousands of Jews have fled as refugees ever since the anti-imperialist Leader began his campaign of denazification. It is quite fascinating how, prior to this, Ukraine was apparently such a comfortable place for them to live despite being home to all those bloodthirsty ultra-nationalists. In any case, most of these individuals already had the option to relocate to Israel—a wealthy, highly advanced nation where they could have secured citizenship almost immediately. Clearly, their situation wasn't that dire, which tells me more about the reality on the ground in Ukraine than your constant repetition of Bandera and Azov ever could. You seem far too unconcerned with the fact that these fanatics are leveling cities and shelling nuclear facilities.

Are we really going to ignore the fact that Ukrainians have been shelling civilian infrastructure for eight years straight? Doesn't that strike anyone as the behavior of fanatics? They weren't just fighting soldiers on a battlefield; they were leveling entire cities. It’s hard to look at that kind of history and not see a pattern of absolute madness.
I honestly don't see how Jewish people even factor into this narrative. It’s not like Azov is targeting them; their focus has always been on the Russians and the Ukrainians who refused to let their country become nothing more than an American puppet state.

I find it truly amusing when people offer us what they claim is an "antidote" to Western propaganda, only to serve up nothing more than baseless anti-Western rhetoric—mostly just anti-US sentiment. Every organized society on this planet is shaped by its own version of propaganda; apparently, the folks here on Sentinel are the only ones truly free in body and soul. But wherever there is a state, there is propaganda. The West only differs because it has reached a level of development where it can serve its narrative in cellophane, without resorting to brute force. When I look at the various black holes scattered across the globe, I actually find myself feeling grateful for that.

That’s great. Keep being thankful that you get to swallow propaganda wrapped in fancy packaging. Personally, I find the whole thing nauseating regardless of how it's presented. That’s why I don't build my worldview based on propaganda; I prefer to examine the actual facts.

Melissa Rivera5 said:You should always ask those neo-communists why they haven't moved to North Korea or at least China yet. 🙂 I mean, honestly, I’m feeling pretty generous today—I’d even let them move to Russia, or maybe Belarus or Transnistria. 🙏

It was awesome, well, at least while it was airing. I’m kind of scared to think about trying to rewatch it now.😁

Was that a cowardly attempt to call me a neo-communist, or am I just imagining things?

Paul Thomas46 said:It is quite interesting how both the US and Ukraine are essentially the primary nations dealing with aggression and conquest wars following World War II...

Which means we can finally dive into the Paradox Greeting (PG)...
The people who shout at everyone else over their choice of greetings actually end up having intentions identical to those they condemn. Truly fascinating...

And our current situation would have slipped under the radar forever if there wasn't this active narrative involving other players. Or rather, are they even really "other" players?...
Again, quite interesting...

Hmm...

You’re talking nonsense; those two cases aren't even remotely comparable. You want to know when we could actually compare our war to this one?

Let’s imagine that in 1990, a radical extremist party took power, implemented ultra-nationalist laws, rehabilitated fascist ideologies, banned minority languages, and began celebrating war criminals while terrorizing and murdering minorities—even burning them alive.
Then, certain municipalities declare independence, which in this scenario, would be their absolute right.
An ultra-nationalist regime then begins indiscriminately shelling those regions, killing over ten thousand people in eight years. At that point, a neighboring country loses its patience and invades.

See? In *that* specific case, we could draw a comparison between the two wars.
Just as I felt no sympathy for the refugees fleeing on tractors, I feel no sympathy for any Ukrainian who supported that terror, let alone anyone who actively participated in it.

Bradley White73 said:It’s disappointing to read, though I can’t say I’m surprised. I won’t bother commenting on how there isn't a single Hitler supporter in this thread; that would just be a waste of my breath. So, Sieg Heil to you. If you can't see the forest for the trees, there's really no point in talking.

And you know, what actually disappoints me is that when I offered a greeting so dear to your heart, you didn't respond to "Slava Ukraini" with "death to fascism."
Fine, I'll admit I started typing "Heil Hitler" because that's the original version of the Ukrainian greeting, but I stopped myself in time once I realized that you, Bubimir, Papagaj, and several others still don't grasp that "Heil Hitler," "Slava Ukraini," and "for home" are all essentially the same thing—just different packaging.
If the Stepan Bandera whom Ukrainians celebrate was a hero and a patriot, then the same logic applies to Hitler, Mussolini, Pavelić, Mihajlović, and the Quisling types.
Honestly, this way of (not) thinking is foreign to me; whether it disappoints you or not is secondary.

Bradley White73 said:I missed them—Asia, Central and South America, along with Africa. But my first association was Africa (at least, that was mine).

Well, at least you don't have to explain why you find nothing wrong with a Nazi salute; the initial association is what matters, and we can just let the facts hang by a thread.

Bradley White73 said:But you'll admit that for the average informed person, Europe and Asia aren't the first associations, and I assume that was taken into account.

Instead of "the average informed person," we could comfortably write "an empty-headed ignoramus caught up in Western propaganda."

Bradley White73 said:But you have to admit this virus came from Africa, from those monkeys, not from Japanese macaques! You're being a bit narrow-minded here, Sale; that’s how the WHO reasoned, and I get them—we aren't all biologists, and associations don't work that way. In America, the Sikhs were attacked because people identified them as Muslims based on their turbans, yet now you're trying to conduct a scientific study based solely on where certain monkeys live, as if anyone actually thinks that deeply about it. 🐔

Look, you might find yourself quite comfortable in a world that’s increasingly bending its knee to the shallow and the uninformed, but for me, there’s a profound sadness in watching education and genuine intelligence be treated as liabilities rather than virtues. And no, I don't mean the issue of someone from the LGBTQ+ community feeling slighted because they identify as a transgender binary queer chimpanzee. My apologies—a transgender binary queer person with chimpanzee traits...

I honestly feel like wiping every single post from this forum where some clueless amateur insists on calling a comic book a "graphic novel."☕

If you cowards who keep deleting my posts actually care this much about silencing me—fine, just say so. It wouldn't be a problem.
I’m done with all of you, and I'm done with this forum that I was naive enough to actually put effort into.
Do me a favor and leave this post up; let it serve as a monument to our shared history—and by that, I mean the predecessors of the current moderation team, those selfish, ego-driven hacks the owner hired simply because they couldn't find actual human beings to do the job.
By all means, go ahead...
