This is the title of a current post on r/RussiaUkraineWar2022 (160k subscribers) that is 95% upvoted. I'm not going to link it for obvious reasons. And yes, the comments are even worse than you could even imagine.

These people have chosen barbarism.

    your daily reminder that reddit is astorturfed by bots and that they need a significantly rigged vote system and a ton of paid actors spouting paid opinions in the comments section in order to get other people to absorb these ideas by osmosis. People have to be lied to for a long time by highly motivated and powerful people with sophisticated propaganda to become like this. Reddit's public relations board is run by a foreign policy ghoul named Jessica Ashooh. The entire subreddit reeks of non-discretionary psy-ops budget from the ground up. Obviously it's grim either way.
