Oh, so you’re denying that you’ve ever denied or questioned the existence of Russian propaganda and/or bad actors?

Okay.

What’s this then? https://lemmy.world/comment/11978870

And these ?

Oh wait no, despite all these doubts you have, you seem to accept the existence of Russian propaganda in this comment:

Hey, just off hand, if you wouldn’t mind finally answering this; are you pro-Russian? Do you support Putin? You claim to be American, but you can’t even say “I’m not pro-Russian”, no matter how many times we’ve engaged. Nor can you call Putler the pathetic little piglet he is. For obvious reasons. ;) Feel free to prove me wrong.

I stand by my statement that there are “approximately zero” bots on Lemmy, unless you want to include the occasional spammer or corporate shill, and even they are almost always quickly dispatched.

And there are reasons why I’m not inclined to take my government or their NGO partners at their word.

Denying you’ve said what you’ve said, only marginally touching on it to say you didn’t actually mean what you wrote. After which you again ignore me asking you whether you’re pro-Russian or not. Why? Why can you answer this simple question? ARE YOU PRO-RUSSIAN?

Why is it that you simply can not answer that, and genuinely all you do on Lemmy revolves around posting these inane lists of bullshit, always defending & indirectly propagating exactly the same thing Russian propaganda does?

Why is it that you simply can not answer this simple question that I’ve now repeated half a dozen times in this comment to highlight just how asinine this approach of yours is: ARE YOU PRO-RUSSIAN?

*We all know the answer, by the way, because you say things like this:

Reality has a well-known Russian propaganda bias.

It seems that lately Western media has started “parroting Russian talking points.” Is it because all this Russian propaganda is so incredibly effective, or is it because truths are becoming harder and harder to suppress? This week:

Western media parroted Russian talking points before 2022 as well, but somehow in February of that year they stopped 🤔
