the fact that there are multiple sources actively brigading this comment thread and it fucking refuses to budge numbers-wise proves this shit is an active astroturf. There cannot be that many real people upvoting this garbage, holy shit. It's actually fucking ratio'd. You shouldn't and usually don't have ratios like this on a site that has downvotes, it's just downvoted to oblivion! :matt-jokerfied:
like, it is extremely deep! it's off a downvoted comment! it's hidden! you have to load more comments to find the initial thread! even then you have to click "continue this thread off the hidden comment to find the comments in question! there is brigading from multiple fucking places that directly link it! very few real people who actually agree with the jingoism are being actually linked to this shit! nor are they finding it organically! it can't be anything but a server-side manip or an astroturf! how do they think this shit looks real?!? :joker-troll:
Of course, disclaimer, brigading is very cool and very good, especially to make chuds mad
The whole subreddit is actually mad. The hogs encouraging each other to volunteer and get bombed by Russia, something else.
They sunk a good portion of foreign aid on shilling.
For instance the "r/combatfootage" subreddit (at least for the first week and a half) was actively deleting every thread that showed any Ukrainian losses. They had automod just delete threads with too many downvotes so basically every video was showing Russians losing in some way.
Very messed up because during every other way you'd get more or less balanced videos and not just obvious one-sidedness.
Sitting at -3 karma and being called a Putin bot. Like clockwork :marx-ok:
I got banned for inciting violence. Uh, what the fuck do you think that sub is exclusively doing?
the full comment:
I'm Ukrainian-Russian, you fucking psychopath. The "dirty work" you globly mention translates into killing my family!
Some of my family members are now officially refugees. Other family members were not so lucky and may soon be conscripted and forced to fight and kill each other by their respective governments under duress. Can you even imagine what this is like?
In Russia, the conscientious objectors get thrown in prison and treated horribly (at best). Ukraine is the same way, but there's the added danger of Azov guys or their friends summarily executing people for refusing to fight. Those Azov guys are officially part of the Ukrainian armed forces. If the Russian military doesn't get us, then the Ukrainian military will.
Most of my relatives in Ukraine cannot leave the war zone. The Ukrainian military, which you volunteered for, is keeping us trapped there!
The US is flooding Ukraine with weapons. Russian tanks are in the street. There are roving gangs of armed criminals. There is death. There is chaos.
None of us want this stupid senseless horrible war. None of us want to fight our brothers.
Here you show up, trying to put your dick in the proverbial blender, understanding nothing but wanting a rifle in your hand. What exactly are you hoping to accomplish?
There's nothing brave about fighting for Putin or Zelensky. There's nothing brave about sticking your nose where it doesn't belong. There's nothing brave about instigating, inflaming, or prolonging a conflict. There's nothing brave about being a pawn of NATO/US/CIA. There's nothing brave about fighting for oligarchs or imperialists. There's nothing brave about going to a warzone halfway around the world for internet points.
Go the fuck home, wherever that may be.
Once you get there, probably the most productive thing you can do is to protest the government and those who profit from war. Organize anti-war efforts in your area. Inform yourself and educate others about what nasty shit your government does domestically and abroad, and try to stop it.
Actually a sensible comment, of course it got removed by the :reddit-logo: moderators
what's sad is I can't tell if it's redditors actually organically downvoting it, CIA sockpuppets artificially downvoting it, or both. Either way it doesn't matter. Consent is being manufactured and people are blind to it.
Yeah people are getting psy oped into being Ukrainian cannon fodder

Mods of the sub removed their comment, lol. A Ukrainian telling Redditors that they aren't wanted? That's a paddlin'.
Seriously. Maybe it's still possible? @Sphere posted a comment that this person was able to update:

Can we invite them here?
What? Why? There are literal pedo subs there that have been active for 2+ years without so much as a warning. This dude got fucking BANNED for saying "please don't kill my aunt, yank"?
It's WWII times, soon listening to "enemy broadcasts" will also get you a bann or IRL an arrest.
Look on the bright side; maybe more bitcoin aficionados who just want to shoot people will go there and get owned
Ridiculous. I’m too busy having my military murder Ukrainians to astroturf reddit. That was a temporary make work program for Russian infantry when they had down time.
Brutalizing anti-government and anti-war protestors is nothing new for me. I started my career doing that and I’ve never stopped.
Good bit. And besides, we know it’s Twitter that you astroturf and Reddit is mostly Twitter screenshots anyway
Yeah this isn't it. Double-tapping is an American strategy where you do a second strike on the same location to take out medical and rescue personal that are helping the wounded. I hope you just don't realize what you're asking for.
Fair enough. I wasn't aware of the tactic, just the term for striking twice. I was just pissed off from reading that threat and the smugness that came from the one guy.
Stuff like this honestly shows that the difference betweens conservatives and liberals is "these dumb savages don't know our ways" and "these dumb savages must be taught our ways".
It's all this fake "well-meaning" bullshit that only ever leads to more death and destruction, and if you complain then you're just an evil person who rejects the light of Western Civilisation.
We gave the gift of Western Civilisation to Ukraine and it got them a TV actor with offshore accounts as a president. What a moral victory.
Most infuriating shit I've read in a while, thanks.
Edit well, at least in the last, like, 20 minutes
Americans are the most propagandised people on the planet.
The colonial saviourism mindset on display here is unreal
Wait, isn't spindokto that loser who got blown up and fled back to Poland? Lmao!
Went in, had his hidey hole blown the fuck up, then was like "I didn't think it'd be this rough" after hightailing it out
I did not expect to be attacked by jets while sleeping in a barracks room on a training base 10 miles from Poland
Bro, you're still not in Poland just cause you're 10 miles from the border lmao
These people, they're so bloody naive, like grown children
That's typically what American grandstanding about helping countries boils down to. Feeling good about themselves, whether the locals want it or not.
Yeah that's the attitude of a ton of these people, from missionaries to troops.
when americoids have nothng to clap for, they clap for themselves :amerikkka-clap:
There's nothing to "clap" for even thankfully, the guy fled to Poland to "help refugees" after narrowly escaping being killed by a Russian airstrike.
I hope he actually helps refugees, actually does something good instead of this bullshit
Hey that's the guy who signed up as a volunteer medic and his barracks got blown up, from the other thread
A "medic" that also wanted to:
Being able to patrol, set up ambushes, have artillery support, go on offensives to take back captured towns. Definitely not sitting around getting blasted, I mean no Marine who wanted to fight in Vietnam would’ve wanted to end up at Khe Sahn right?
:yea:
It sounds like the Azov battalion are operating EXACTLY how the Fedayeen Saddam operated in the early days of the 2003 Iraq invasion.
Fedayeen
God, this shit and the "roving bands of criminals" part of his comment, and the whole context of giving uh, anti air missiles... to the right wing psychos...
This really is going to create a fucking Nazi theocracy in 5 years.
