Now ask yourself, if you're not getting paid to spread this bullshit, how a useful idiot are you?

Why are we pretending only 1 faction doesn't have a massive bot net, while that faction includes the CIA and NSA?

I bet even Arbies has a massive bot network lol, you just can't trust anything these days.

We can hate on both.

Still doesn't make Russias bot farm any better.

My point is that it isn't bullshit. We should hate both, and clearly the Russian one more, but we shouldn't assume only one exists.

Look at how valmond is responding. He's clearly a moron that would rather stick his head in the sand. It's silly behavior imo.

It's a shame because the usual tankie suspects are more active lately with the election coming up and everyone seems on edge. I get it but that doesn't mean refusing the bootlick the American imperial war and propoganda machine automatically makes you a tankie. People have to get a grip.
