Ad hominems (personal attacks) are a logical fallacy.

In addition, as far as the personal attacks, the burden of proof is always upon the claimant. Personal remark removedConservative (talk) 14:57, December 31, 2024 (EST)

It would be pointless to present the evidence that real median income in the United States in inflation adjusted constant dollars since 1991 have fallen, whereas real median income in the Russian Federation since its founding in 1991 has risen. And that without even bothering to discuss exchange rates or Russian sanctions. RobS^{The Truth. Just Putin It Out There} 15:21, December 31, 2024 (EST)

Your point about 500% inflated US Dollars at a time when dollar-to-rubles exchanges are illegal under US laws (without getting into your moral relativistic arguments about pick-and-choosing which laws a supposed "conservative" chooses to recognize or obey, such as hate crimes) isn't just folly, it is deliberate ignorance, stubbornness, and stupidity.

Here, for example, is a problem with granting John Mearsheimer with the level of credibility [[User:Conservative] has given him in Conservapedia: [2]

“

[Trump]'s dead wrong on both World War I and World War II. I won't talk about World War I, but I will talk about World War II where of course he's dead wrong. And also I think he's showing great disrespect to Russia and to the former Soviet Union for the enormous price that they paid in defeating the Wehrmacht in World War II.

I warned against spamming too much of making Mearsheimer a credible and authoritive expert into dozens and dozens of Conservapedia mainspace and talk pages for several years. Now Mearsheimer says President Trump is delusional and his so-called "peace" efforts are doomed to fail. So here we created a problem for ourselves which now has be dealt with for the remainder of Trump's term.

And to argue against Mearsheimer is to place oneself into the warmonger and advocate of perpetual war camp.

As to the guns and butter argument, I can't remember how many decades ago I last ate butter. Butter was knocked of the market in favor of oleamargarine during the Vietnam war, which old timers then explained it was the ongoing legacy of World War II & the Korean war. In another 40, 50, or 80 years, maybe the predominantly rural & agrarian Ruassian Federation may have to convert to oleomargarine. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 01:55, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

Deputy Ukrainian Interior Minister and Advisor to President Zelensky Anton Gerashchenko, curator of the Myrotvorets website.[1]

I finally had the opportunity to read this "ButterGate" article which was spammed into at least 17 Conservapedia pages. The Newsweek report was built around a single instance of 2 shoplifters who were apprehended, armed with knives. The information was first posted to X by Anton Gerashchenko, the notorious neo-nazi webmaster who maintains Myrotvorets, better known as the Ukrainian kill list. Sen Rand Paul & DNI Tulsi Gabbard are included in the list.

Next time you hear Conservapedia is Nazi propaganda, don't laugh. A senior Admin made it so. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 06:33, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

Conservapedia needs stronger anti-spamming enforcement. When an editor adds content, it should be in only one place - not 17 - and time given for other editors to vet the content. RobS^{Zelensky Must Go!} 14:18, May 11, 2025 (EDT)

I read the Newsweek article in question and the video in question was merely one data point and there other data points in the article that were stronger. Additionally, the Newsweek article clearly states that author of the article attempted to verify the video via the Russian government, but failed to do so. Furthermore, I have used multiple articles to indicate that butter and other food prices have had big inflation in Russia.

Do you seriously deny that the price of butter, potatoes and other food items have seen big inflation in Russia? If so, why?

Next, you use mainstream news sources at Conservapedia when you agree with them. So I will say again, rules for me, but not for thee. In short, you are being inconsistent. In addition, I will add that the sourcing of your material/contentions is often not good. For example, you asked me to look at a video by some YouTube leftists saying the economy of China was good and this is was while the China was in the midst of some major economic troubles such as their real estate crisis.

At the end of the day, I forecasted the current economic troubles of China/Russia which you took issue with. I was right and you were clearly wrong. Conservative (talk) 04:27, May 13, 2025 (EDT)

By the way, here are two other reports that the price of butter has soared in Russia: Record 82.5% rise in butter prices in Russia halted, Dairy News Today, 9-24-2024 and Russian Butter Squeeze Highlights Growing Economic Toll From War | World Business Watch | WION, 2024 Conservative (talk) 04:42, May 13, 2025 (EDT)
