I understand that trying to convince someone who has spent their entire life constructing insane conspiracy theories—built on a foundation of staggering ignorance mixed with an astronomical level of self-importance—is pointless.

However, that being said, as a Ukrainian, I have a couple of questions for RFK Jr.:

Who, exactly, by the end of 2013, forced the "neutral, democratic government" of Viktor Yanukovych to push Ukraine into nationwide mass protests and armed clashes in central Kyiv?

Was it a CIA conspiracy that made Yanukovych’s Kremlin-backed mafia clan (better known as "The Family"), led by a twice-convicted former street criminal, the most corrupt and criminal regime in Ukraine’s history?

Did USAID build ultra-luxurious residences for Yanukovych at the expense of Ukrainian taxpayers and hand over all key financial flows of the country to his inner circle, including an unprecedented scheme of mass robbery through the supply of Russian gas at inflated prices?

Was it the CIA that forced Russian officials, political strategists, and Putin himself to pour billions into installing their “neutral” puppet Yanukovych and establishing open control over his policies as far back as 2004?

Was it the CIA or USAID that spent years making Russia blackmail Ukraine with gas supplies and threatening economic sanctions, forcing it to abandon European integration?

How did it happen that, after years of blatant lies, Yanukovych and his "neutral democratic government" suddenly decided at the last moment not to sign the EU Association Agreement in Vilnius, leaving Ukraine on the brink of complete absorption into Russia’s Customs Union?

How did the CIA manage to make Putin personally promise Yanukovych a $15 billion bribe, including a $3 billion "loan" in exchange for rejecting the EU association?

Who exactly, and by what means, in the United States forced Yanukovych to unleash a violent crackdown on student protests in Kyiv, triggering mass outrage?

In response to his regime’s brutality against “our children”, nearly a million people took to the streets in Kyiv—were they all paid by the CIA too? Were they also part of a global conspiracy?

I ask because I was there, Gandalf, 3,000 years ago—in December 2013, on the streets of Kyiv, among a million Ukrainians who were fed up with Putin’s corrupt, lying puppet who thought he could spit in our faces, beat us in our own streets, and get away with it.

Earlier, in November, I was among a handful of young university students and lecturers who actually initiated pro-EU rallies in the city of Mariupol -- and honestly, I don't remember getting any money from the CIA for wishing to live in a prosperous, democratic, west-aligning Ukraine instead of a declining client state shithole under Kremlin foot.

So, amid mass protests across Ukraine, how did the CIA make Yanukovych and his gang push through the dictatorial laws of January 16, which, in true Kremlin style, banned freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest—effectively declaring outright repression, which ignited even greater fury across the country?

How did the CIA force Russian officials, like Putin’s advisor on Ukraine, Sergey Glazyev, to directly pressure Yanukovych into using armed force against protesters? How did they make entire regions and local governments refuse to obey his criminal clique?

Who commanded the armed police and criminal gangs that carried out a bloodbath in central Kyiv and attacked protesters across the country?

Who forced Yanukovych and his mafia to do this to Ukraine—until the country rose up, broke free of their control, and forced him to flee with his stolen billions—only for him to later beg Putin to invade Ukraine from the safety of Russia?

Who did all of this?

The CIA? The FBI? The NSA? The CDC with polio vaccines and 5G towers? Biolabs? Victoria Nuland and her cookies? Men in Black? Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars?

The Dunning-Kruger effect is the plague of the 21st century, and it is actively undermining the West.

In 1968 Finland banned for profit education, the few private schools that exist in Finland have to reinvest any profit they make or pay it back to parents.

It has been in the Top 3 in education for the last 20 years.

There should be no profit in education or healthcare.

@shotRoHi Seriously? That's insanely stupid of them. If you like an artist commission the work from them.

[Frank Sronce @FrankSronce]

@shotRoHi I'm sorry to hear it. I hope even vague venting helps.

@CybercatArt I don't do adopts so I'm no expert, but it's a nice, original pose and the pet is a cool addition.

@_dailymagic_ Making that game with you guys was an amazing experience. Great to see it mentioned again!

@allcopymel @MoreGamesPls You might like Chibi Heroes- players assemble teams of heroes to take on quests and acquire fame. Full disclosure, I made the game so I’m biased. :-)

@RGibsongirl As someone who used to do code reviews for a living, they're supposed to be supportive and iterative, not destructive. Honestly, I doubt that the story is real.

@TrashMobMinis I like the idea of the party struggling to defeat this infamous dragon that's been terrorizing the valley only to learn that they haven't been fighting it at all. Just a skin that it left behind years ago.
