What I have learned: * Russia has already won the Ukraine war * Which NATO started * A lot of people in the West think that Ukraine should surrender * Also Ukraine was the world’s main provider of CSAM * Also Ukraine is exploited by the West but if they can unite with Russia then their economy and everything else will finally be alright It’s literally like a bizarro world and everyone is over there agreeing with it. I’m genuinely confused by, who even are these people (what is the mixture of Russian bots / Russian-aligned ordinary people / confused Westerners / some other explanation.)

I am genuinely confused by hexbear too

Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?

      Humor really takes them off-script. If you say, "I'm not a Russian agent," well, that sounds like what a Russian agent would say. If you try to say, "There are legitimate reasons for an ordinary person to believe what I'm saying," well, sounds like you're using that as an excuse to spread more Russian propaganda. It's a solid conspiracy theory with a response for every angle, but they just don't know what to make of it when you start doing a bit like that.

      That was also the thinking behind my Phoenix Wright theming, that, and that I could get away with being like, "Do you have any evidence to support that claim?" I kinda dropped it because it got old fast but it's nice to have in my back pocket when they get ridiculous.
