    But you don’t disagree about the pathetic wankers who can’t admit to what a shitbag Putin is or do it while loudly proclaiming “all world leaders are”, which means negating the criticism towards Putin. Literal whataboutism.

    So you know, I’m just checking.

    Because I noticed that quite often a lot of Russian trolls who are quakebuttocks who can be caught from what they refuse to talk about. Usually it’s revealed by intense efforts to avoid saying something simple like “Putin is an international war criminal” and not all world leaders are like that. No whataboutism or equivocating.

    I dislike everyone, but only accuse a small portion of those of being Russian trolls.

      Oh, I don’t think they are Russian trolls, so much as “useful idiots”, as the Soviet Union called them. Westerners so obsessed with the Soviet aesthetic that they’re willing to spread obvious propaganda. I very highly doubt many of them are Russian at all, or have even been to one of the countries they idolize.

      Because forget living in a communist country, they like the rights democracy is supposed to afford them and don’t wanna give that up. They just aren’t willing to admit it.

        Do you know one other thing I’ve noticed? Those “Westerners” never describe themselves as “Westerners”, but it’s common parlance in Russia.

        I notice you didn’t take my implication that I’d like you to admit those things I pointed out, aloud. You know, just because.

        Or perhaps you did… and you’re purposefully avoiding it. Now who was it that I say does such things, most commonly…?
