  • Ivan the Troll’s media message is that this is hypocrisy. Western governments, he has noted, have armed the world’s insurgents and authoritarian leaders with weapons of war. “I’m sharing a computer file,” he said in a 2022 interview. “If I’m guilty of sharing information, what does that make them?”

    1. “Owning hypocrites” is hardly a good reason to endanger the general population
    2. Other people being worse doesn’t make you any better or less guilty
    3. Sacrificing peoples lives to send a message kinda does make you a terrorist

    If this was his intention that is. It seems so given his nickname, but maybe he just got famous and used his chance to come up with some bullshit.

    Make a habit of reading takes (from reputable / serious sources) that you think you’ll disagree with.

    Even if it doesn’t change your mind, you will understand other people’s POV. This is very important for understanding your own stance better and finding flaws and uncertainties in it.

    It also tends to humanise “the other side” (whoever that is for you), which makes it easier to have a constructive argument rather than meaningless fights.
