I dont know for fact, but I treat any political meme like it might.

I don't really think this is a rational or particularly healthy stance to take on political memes. I can maybe understand if your stance was just "keep the worldnews posts serious", though I'd disagree with that too. But saying that you're trying to avoid Russian influence by avoiding memes is... idk. Doesn't really make sense to me. Political memes aren't inherently Russian.

You also have to consider Russia's like, motives here. I don't really see a reason for them to want to make pudding jokes about DeSantis.

I appreciate your concern, but can assure you I'm mentally healthy

you totally might be, but the bare fact that you had to say this to someone today should probably prompt you to reflect a bit about all this friend

I’m gonna push back on this fam. It’s peak reddit-logo libshittery to internet diagnose someone with mental health problems as a way to "critique" their positions. We’re not about that shit.

I specifically didn't diagnose them or say that, their behavior and assumptions seem deranged to others and I wanted to get that across, not imply they are mentally ill
