Again with this propaganda bullshit. Don't you people get tired of swallowing Putler's cum?

This is nottheonion. You understand the point of this place right?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Posting something "as a joke" makes the propaganda less propaganda?

That's how things are spread. Ofc eveyone will pretend not to take this seriously. But despite you pretending I can't understand what "Not the onion" posts are about, we're probably gonna end this with you avoiding answering me to why Russia has committed so many crimes against humanity.

First you'll pretend not to know what I'm talking about and "how does that even" or some annyoing bullshit I've seen a million times.

Just like Davel@lemmy.ml claims to be an American while clearly being Russian, just like MicroWave pretends he's an actual user and not a pathetic propaganda shill, you'll pretend something along those lines as well, I'm guessing.

This is a place if ridicule, not admiration. I don't know why Russia commits atrocities, and da comrade totally Russian yes, my indigenous heritage and Welsh ancestors were obviously Russian spies sent to infiltrate America during the Ice Age and 1600s and I am the culmination of this plan. Not everyone that disagrees with you is a Russian botfarm

By reposting something Russians bots have been using, you are part of their propaganda though.

Shit like is what led to trump.

"no bad pr"

Trump is the result of many things, the people not being listened to by the establishment had as much to do with it as Russia.

One of them is definitely the electoral college.

That's why most countries, democracies especially, prefer direct presidential elections.

Never said it wasn't, but the democrats have repeatedly feilded candidates no one wanted, we're told no one wanted and still went through with them. They are just as much to blame.

Russian strategy was exactly to perpetuate the idea eveyone hates Democrats and to vote third party or to not vote at all "to protest the system".

You're literally propagating Russian propaganda. It doesn't even matter if it's true. The fact is that it's well known and documented that that is exactly what the Russians kept chanting when they managed to influence the American elections.

So gz either you're brainwashed by Russians or you're actually one. Idk which one is more shameful tbh

And you are denying reality in front you you blinkered idiot
