Denying you've said what you've said, only marginally touching on it to say you didn't actually mean what you wrote. After which you again ignore me asking you whether you're pro-Russian or not. Why? Why can you answer this simple question? ARE YOU PRO-RUSSIAN?
Why is it that you simply can not answer that, and genuinely all you do on Lemmy revolves around posting these inane lists of bullshit, always defending & indirectly propagating exactly the same thing Russian propaganda does?
Why is it that you simply can not answer this simple question that I've now repeated half a dozen times in this comment to highlight just how asinine this approach of yours is: ARE YOU PRO-RUSSIAN?
*We all know the answer, by the way, because you say things like this:
It seems that lately Western media has started “parroting Russian talking points.” Is it because all this Russian propaganda is so incredibly effective, or is it because truths are becoming harder and harder to suppress? This week:
.
Western media parroted Russian talking points before 2022 as well, but somehow in February of that year they stopped 🤔
You know why I keep engaging with you? It's because it's like visiting a museum exhibit about Soviet propaganda. Amusing in weird sort of way. Your use of Russian propaganda is so exemplary it's honestly rather impressive. I mean, Russian propaganda is shit rhetoric, any 16-year old with an average media literacy from my country could break down these childish lists of yours. You just rely on "if they start engaging, I can sealion endlessly", and think people don't understand what you're doing.
Just like how you keep avoiding the question of if you're pro-Russian or not. Which is again hilarious in itself, since you do keep insisting you're a red-blooded American, but won't go so far as to lie about not being pro-Russian, which is painfully obvious to everyone.
Are you pro-Russian? Do you wish to give Putler oral pleasure?
All I did was post links to Western media sources, so I don’t see how that could be “a museum exhibit about Soviet propaganda.”
Edit to add: If you don’t want people to see links to Western media, maybe don’t @ me next time 🤷
Are you pro-Russian?
Have you forgotten who @-ed who in this thread, or who has demanded an answer to this question a dozen times or more now, despite my having given rather detailed answers months ago?
I've asked you a simple yes or no question several dozens of times, over the course of months. You pathologically avoid it. Pathologically.
I @ you because I know your ego can't handle me calling you the obvious pro-Ruski you are. You are constantly promoting Russian views, calling Ukrainians Nazis, etc, etc, etc.
You still can't respond to a single yes-or no question. This isn't about you "having a reasoned discussion." It's me baiting you into interacting with me, because you're blind to how obvious of a propaganda troll you are. You personally remind me of visiting an exhibition of Soviet propaganda. Perhaps you just don't know where the techniques you use are from, idk. It's just.. hilarious.
Your English also has several tells. You won't believe me, but it does.
You simply can not answer any questions about Russian politics or whether you agree with them, but instead spend all of your time on Lemmy defending everything they're saying and saying that all "western media" is "parroting Russian talking points".
You're willing to lie about being a red-blooded American, but you're not willing to lie about being against Russia. You just don't understand how ironic that is. You don't understand just how much it gives away about you. Like I said, it's weirdly amusing.
#Are you pro-Russian? YES / NO?
You have never answered the question. Which is evident to anyone who looks. :D This is very entertaining. In a slightly concerning way.
I don’t know if you’re living in your own fantasy world, or if you think anyone reading this is going to believe your own ham-fisted attempts at propaganda. Since virtually no one read this far deep into a thread, I’m beginning to think it might be the former, because what’s point of making up bullshit like this if no one’s going to read it?
So to recap, you're a red-blooded American communist who believes Ukraine is full of Nazis, and are pro-Russian?
Edit also you do realise the votes pretty clearly show several people interacting with this through votes, so ofc it's being read lol
Welcome, that one other person 😂
Coming to this thread with no prior context has been a trip.
I told you you wouldn't believe me about your tells. :)
Everytime your very clear bullshit gets called out it's "oh well, I didn't actually mean what I said so I wasn't actually wrong".
You're a pro-Russian troll. Literally everyone can see it. The worst part being your childish attempts at evading a direct question, when you could simply lie and say "no, I'm not pro-Russian".
Just say "I don't support the far-right autocratic leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin". If you don't, everyone will know you do support him. Because why else this pathological avoidance of a simple yes or no question? It's because there is a correct answer ("I'm not pro-Russian"), but you can't bring yourself to say it, because it wouldn't be true, and it might get you in trouble. :D
We’re still waiting for my Slavic tells to be revealed, Mr. philologist.
Because me pointing them out wouldn't make you argue and deny and ignore anything that happens to be a little bit shameful for you, because that's definitely not a pattern of behaviour for you, right?
You support the far-right autocratic leader of Russia, Vladimir Putin. Thus, you support far-right autocratic views. Despite being a red-blooded American? Shame on you.
