I expalined my edit in terms of the lede of Dark Triad personality traits

I explained my edit in terms of the lede of Dark Triad personality traits.

I refined the definition and I also added the Britannica footnote. Conservative (talk) 20:51, September 11, 2023 (EDT)

I thought you weren't talking to me (I have a zillion diffs of you saying so). What obligation do I have to even review your trolling edits in Mainspace since you refuse to discuss on the talk page? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 21:00, September 11, 2023 (EDT)

You are not making any sense. Why are you against the Britannica refinement of the term Dark Triad personality traits. It agrees with the psychiatric/psychological literature.

Edits should be reasonable. Conservative (talk) 21:06, September 11, 2023 (EDT)

You have refused to discuss on talk; I am not obligated to waste my time reviewing your trolling edits in Mainspace. Period.

Does it make sense now? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 21:18, September 11, 2023 (EDT)

Your comment on my user talk page was errant and nonsensical. The church is in Ukraine - not Russia.

Your comment on my user talk page was errant and nonsensical. As can be seen below, the church is in Ukraine - not Russia. And just because a church was built, does not mean that it can't have low attendance.

Now you know why I don't much read your posts to me and why I am so disinterested in them. They are often unthoughtful and errant.

I hope this helps clarify things. Conservative (talk) 15:27, September 18, 2023 (EDT)

St. Michael's Golden-Domed Monastery, Ukraine

Oh, thanks. It's still in the Ruski Mir. RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 15:33, September 18, 2023 (EDT)

I have absolutely no interest in what you have to say. Get that through your head.

I have tried to have detente with you and not interact with you, but you keep on pushing unthoughtful and errant views on me. Stop. Conservative (talk) 16:04, September 18, 2023 (EDT)

"Unthoughtful and errant"? Are you saying all the pictures of Russian Cathedrals you have plastered all over your user page are not in the Russky Mir? RobS^{Give Peace a Chance!} 16:14, September 18, 2023 (EDT)

How much do you know about Chinese Communist collusion with Japanese Fascism?

As you may or may not recall, a long time ago I was hoodwinked by mainstream propaganda into believing that during the Second Sino-Japanese War, the Communists fought the Japanese while the Nationalists slacked off. Over a year ago or so, I recall reading this in the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact page:

With the making of the Hitler-Stalin pact, the Soviet Union was at war on the side of Germany. The Chinese Communists (CCP) stopped fighting the Japanese in the ongoing Second Sino-Japanese War, and resumed guerrilla operations against the Chinese National Government (KMT). The CCP devoted their energies to fighting the Chinese government for the portions of eastern China between the railroad lines, held by the Japanese.

How much do you know on this topic, just out of curiosity? What definitely has sparked a bit of confusion at times in my life (having grown up under a Chinese household 80–90% adherent to "traditional" culture, I'd say) was how amicable my parents and family friends are towards Japanese culture, and how little they ever emphasized the brutality of Japanese war crimes during WWII. There have been times when my father brought up American imperialism, slavery, etc., yet never would invoke a mention of the sheer inhumane extent of torture in China by Fascist Japan.

It's interesting that the same first-generation Chinese immigrants, brought up under CCP indoctrination and who despise Chiang Kai-Shek while glorifying or at least defending/trivializing Mao Zedong, are so strangely prone to disregarding the sheer horrifying record of Japanese war crimes. I've never quite had an intrinsic bitter hatred for the CCP before, though now am uncovering some clues. —LT ^{Rev. 22:13} Monday, 16:22, September 18, 2023 (EDT)

I understand enough from sources reporting inside and outside China at that time until very recent times. The Kuomintang was fighting two wars simultaneously, against Mao and against the Japanese Empire. The Kuomintang focused on the Japanese while Maoists hid out in caves at the end of the long march. Yes, there were some minor engagements between the PLA and the Japanese, but that is inflated in modern CCP propaganda to debunk the "myth" that the CCP did nothing to liberate China from the Japanese Empire, and in fact hindered the "Western allies" from defeating fascism.
