Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Do you sincerely believe macroeconomics doesn't affect the lives of ordinary people?

LOL of course it affects normal people. That is why I agreed with you in the beginning. When did I even claim anything to the contrary? I’ve also mentioned this multiple times in this thread.
And I already said you probably knew more about what’s going on with ordinary Russians here:

Day to day, sure.

No need to make a lengthy text that keeps crying about that.

But maybe stop telling me what you want me to think and actually read what I said. But then you would have to stop building all these ridiculous straw mans, which I don’t think you can. You haven’t been able to quote me on a single thing you’ve accused me of and I’m beginning to doubt you even understand basic written English.

Next, I also never claimed to be an expert on “all things Russian”. QUOTE NEEDED.

Yet, you seem to be absolutely sure you know better than anyone else.

Not anyone else, but I am absolutely 100% sure I know more about economy and geopolitics than you, including that of Russia. And that isn’t because I’m so smart, but because you’re so incredibly stupid. You have shown for this entire thread now what an absolute idiot you are. You don’t understand simple things I have said and keep arguing against things I have never said just to appear to be right.

Anyone else? Definitely no.

You? Absolutely yes.
