    how convenient, feel free to edit your previous comment.

    Expecting me to do it for you is exactly the kind of petty wannabe authoritarian bullshit I would expect from your instance

    you seemed so offended by me, i am just trying to spare you the aggravation

    And as you continue to frame my criticism of russia as simply “blaming foreigners

    such nuanced criticism:

      Yeah do you want to include the context of what comment I was replying to, or are you just going to cherrypick tidbits devoid of context to try to make me look bad? Because everyone in this comment chain can see that the comment I was replying to was calling Ukrainians nazis, which is blatantly a Kremlin-sponsored propaganda point. And since you’re trying so hard to defend that, I can only assume you’re the same.

        i was just noting how quickly you jump to dehumanizing your political opponents

        it was direct evidence for my original point

        And since you’re trying so hard to defend that, I can only assume you’re the same.

        you seem to be looking for any excuse to dehumanize me, just an observation.

          Yeah if you’re jumping to defend the guy who’s defending kremlin imperialism by calling Ukrainians nazis, then I’ll dehumanize you too. Try not shilling for fascists and then we can have a more humanizing conversation.

            the original point that guy made wasn’t pro-russia, it was anti-unipolar dominance. it’s not even an uncommon anti-imperialist position and has nothing to do with defending whatever ‘the kremlin’ does.

            you then jumped to calling him a russian for saying that ‘western democracy’ is a bourgeois dictatorship evolving into open fascism.

            so in defense of your preferred hegemon you jump to dehumanizing him. you already have been by calling everyone on my server bots and making veiled wishes for users to get drone struck. you really seem incapable of self-reflection. certainly not beating the allegations about where ‘western democracy’ is headed with defenders like you.

              You’re severely distorting the context of this conversation, and the only people left in this thread seem to be you and your brigade of .mls anyway, so I see little point in continuing to try reasoning with you.

              But once again, to set the record straight, I called you all trolls, not bots. I don’t know where you got that from. And I didn’t wish for anyone to get drone striked, I simply expressed a hope that the next datacenter to get hit takes down a noticeable portion of troll accounts. If you’re literally anywhere other than a russian datacenter/troll farm, then that comment expresses absolutely zero ill-will towards you. So I don’t know why you’re acting so upset about it, after all didn’t you claim to not be located in russia?

              And I never defended western hegemony or the resurgence of fascism we’re seeing in the west (which, by the way, is funded by russia and enabled by widespread russian disinformation networks contributing to foreign election interference). I simply criticized russia for subverting western democracy, i.e. by funding those fascist reactionary parties, which results in those democracies degrading further into russia-esque fascist oligarchies.

              If you couldn’t see that that’s what I was saying and not your grotesque distortion, then you’re not engaging in good faith. Nobody could be that genuinely dense.

              Also, “anti-unipolar dominance” is essentially the talking point I often see used to justify authoritarian regimes that happen to be non-western. So no, I see right through that BS dissembling as it’s patently transparent.

                western fascism has plenty of indigneous roots, the amount that russia spends is a drop in the bucket. it is a convenient way for you to avoid examining how capitalism produces fascism domestically. everything can just get blamed on your state adversary and anyone pushing back must clearly just be under foreign influence

                the only people left in this thread seem to be you and your brigade of .mls anyway, so I see little point in continuing to try reasoning with you.

                god forbid we use the website we’re on, clearly anything opposed to you must be coordinated foreigners

                then you’re not engaging in good faith.

                you weren’t engaging in good faith from the start, you literally were calling all of us russian bots and hoping our ‘datacenter’ gets drone striked.

                So no, I see right through that BS dissembling as it’s patently transparent.

                you are just defending your preferred type of authoritarian regime and cannot comprehend when people supporting the lesser evil in a fucked up situation end up opposing you.
