Then I'd call you a complete liar with a weak grasp on reality, and a poor understanding of where and when you ought to open your ill-informed mouth, before I walked off and continued with my day, secure in the knowledge that you're as wrong about something as it's physically possible to be.
That's what.
Sorry, too subtle. Go say that to the Russian shill but even more louder.
Lol. You're trying to troll but failing miserably.
Is that how the performance metrics work at those centers? If you do well do you get more potatoes?
You literally said nothing. You made a statement, offered no evidence, called it facts.
I mean, come on CableMonster. If you have a point, make it. I’m listening. You have my attention. Show me what you got.
But I’m not being insulting. I’m asking you to expand on why it is that you believe what you said. Literally, you offered no content. Just an opinion without explaining the information that led you to that decision.
To me it read like, “well guys, feeding homeless people actually ends up starving them.”
So, why do you believe what you believe? What led you to that belief?
I’m offering you the ability to have an honest conversation.

Like I said: failing miserably. An effective troll foments FUD. You are only receiving ridicule.
You must live a pathetic existence to count being called out for being an incompetent troll as a win. It took longer than usual to type this as it’s harder to type while laughing. Thanks for the hilarity imbecile!
Now it’s not funny but sadly pathetic that you crave attention so much someone just responding to your pathetic comments makes you feel like you “won”.
That tracks, as no one thinks of you at all. Sadly, your persona here will simply be staffed by fresh meat once you're resigned to the trench on the front your drone-maimed corpse'll plug soon enough. All in time, young comrade. Just wait and see what daddy Putin decides next for your oh-so-loyal patriotic self. 🌻🌻🌻
Da
4 day old account, all but two comments are pro-russian. Guess lemmy is getting popular enough to attract attention from the Russian troll farms.

Sorry that is only worth two.
You're generous with your potato allotment, I think that was a one tater comment at most.
Do you still get paid if you don't engage?
It's almost comical to see "leftists" scream about the lies that Trump and GOP tell - but if you suggest there was a diplomatic solution they explode immediately lol. War propaganda is working incredibly well these days and any pacifist notion is attacked as subversive and downvoted. Vast majority of millennials and gen Z are just as brainwashed and are murderous war mongers the boomers were.
PS: I'm really missing a fitting word for this. They are not fascists and nationalists or imperialists is too weak. War mongers sounds a bit lame too.
You mean they don't know about the left being pro peace? Or that they are overcompensating because they do know?
There is a documentary by Adam Curtis about how the rhetoric in geopolitics changed to good vs evil, not just Reagan but all the third way leftists. A very successful PR / brainwashing campaign.
But ever since Ukraine started this has massively changed on reddit which is supposedly "leftist". Presumably the "science and technology of propaganda" is improving. If the Irak and Afghanistan happened today, there wouldn't be any major opposition to it online. There wasn't any in mainstream media either at the time, but back then the internet actually was less... warmongery?
Yeah definitely there is PR push. All the mainstream articles are written in a way that maximizes these viewpoints. I don't know where exactly it comes from but besides military industrial complex there is still oil and extraction of resources and general empire stuff there are a lot of business interest tied to maintaining hegemony.
For Ukraine specifically I also speculate that it's because Ukraine is a breadbasket. With climate change, food prices are going to become unstable so having control of that region is not just good business, for the empire it's an important strategic goal. West-Ukraine will mostly be owned by EU and US because of the incredible debt.
The other goal here is that we'll see like a billion climate refugees in a few decades which will lead to wars. And Russia has tons of borders that could be corridors. So it's good to destabilize and isolate Russia in advance of these climate wars so that the worst chaos isn't happening in Europe. Similar with China. They'd want to encircle their geopolitical rivals so they don't have that much room to maneuver.
This is all speculation and I'm really not sure if "they" think this strategically. But Nato baiting Ukraine was imho a definite trap to "force" Russia into this conflict. Fuck Stoltenberg for example. Not that I don't blame Russia!
