      Literally anyone who disagrees with me is by definition a bot running out of a basement in Langley VA.

      New drinking game. You take a shot everytime some hexbear pops into another instance and posts any comment that:

      1. Is positive towards Russia, China, or the DPRK.
      2. Is negative towards NATO
      3. Is genocide apologetics, or dismisses human rights violations by current or former communist countries as fake or not something to worry about

      Garanteed to kill you before the day is over.

        Yeah, take a shot every time one of us dirty commies denies the existence of Saddam's WMDs. The biggest propaganda machine in history would never lie about it's rivals.

              It's wild that I didn't even mention brigading, but most of the comments from hexbears are defensive about it. It's not brigading to comment on posts on other instances, so stop feeling insecure about it. Especially when there are so many other valid reasons people hate you guys.

                  I was speaking more along the lines of the endless emotes and troll comments. I don't think people have a problem with many of the comments that have actual meat to them, even if they vehemently disagree with what's said, like I often do. The ones posting the same trollface emote fifty times though? That's assnine and annoying. Then those same users complain that nobody wants to "debate" them. That's not debate. It's not even a conversation.

          Here is the thing. It's only liberals that threats this as a football game were you have to cheer on one of the teams. If you actually know the history and some form of idea about the geopolitical stage, you can be on the side that actually wants peace. Not "until the last Ukrainian is dead" that the west wants.

        How dare anyone be negative towards the belligerent arms cartel that has had its hand in multiple coup governments, and destroyed numerous countries.

        You all act so offended by people not swallowing your narrative.

        Why would you do that? How does it sound funny to you that US propaganda is so important to you that you would poision yourself if you weren't surrounded by it? It get you were trying to make a joke but the joke is that, " if I encounter anything other than US propaganda I need to self harm so I don't acknowledge it."

        It is just wild to me that you exist in a state where this seems like a banger post.

            You do understand reality exists right. It isn't just US propaganda vs Russian propaganda. There is an actual objective truth that can be found. It isn't particularly hard. No one here is claiming to have special wisdom here.

            I don't like the framing of people believing what they've been told by teachers, parents, and the media all their life all being gullible imbeciles.

            Some of them even examine both sides to get a full understanding of the issue, by watching both CNN and Fox News.

              It's true that US propaganda machine is unparalleled, but at this point one has to work hard not to see the gap between the narrative they've been fed and the reality.

              Russian economy was supposed to collapse within months, Russia was supposed to be isolated geopolitically, Russia was supposed to run out of weapons, Russian military was supposed to crumble, western wonder weapons were supposed to be game changers, and so on.

              It's been around two years now, and literally every one of these predictions has turned out to be completely false. This is openly reported in mainstream western media nowadays.

              Given that, I fail to see how any person capable of even a modicum of critical thought continue going along with the narrative.

              And we see this same behavior manifest itself in many other areas. For example, people continue to believe articles claiming that China's economy is going to collapse despite decades of such articles being false.

              Continuing to believe media that has been so consistently wrong does require at least a certain amount of gullibility in my opinion.
