Memes

You know, I've read exactly one comment from you, ReakDuck, and It would be a bit silly if I assumed from this single comment that your entire life to this point has been paranoid whingeing about Russian bots.

"Russia and China love to manipulate and do everything to convince people that what they are doing is great"

If it's a matter of propaganda, I hope you understand that America is perfectly capable of churning out plenty of absolute pig shit on its own. All large nations with their own media ecosystems employ propaganda as a means of placation, diversion, and general control. Do you worry about the people who agree with you being bots, too? Aren't your online peers just as likely to be bots? Do you think your particular party or associates don't employ the same trickery as everyone else? How have they stayed competitive?

Furthermore, what proof would you require to know I'm not a bot? No amount of personal information is beyond manufacturing. I could even send you a social security number and valid identification and you could say I stole it. Do you see where I'm going with this? That rationale of yours is a catch-all justification of complete dismissal. One can protect themselves from any dissenting opinions if they can convince themselves that the other person writing to them is a bot. There's nothing they can say or do to prove such an assertion wrong short of showing up at your house and shitting on your lawn.

I believe you should challenge the rhetoric being presented to you instead of protecting your own through frivolous dismissals, but I don't know why I've wasted all my time writing this response to a lib bot.

Everyone is a bot everywhere. There are no people anymore!

I'm happy to see you've accepted we're not bots or something, but

that there are literal communities that are hardcore china or russia fans because of the leftism.

Is just a wrong assumption. The point is to never stop the critique. It's just that we a) accept the nuance in and the reality of the Ukrainian conflict rather than repeat the lines NATO feeds the west through established media (doesn't mean we're fans of putin, but since the start of the conflict any nuance has been labeled as 'Russia apologia'. Russia is a neoliberal, capitalist state and nowhere does this align with my ideals, doesn't mean ima start referring to Russian people as 'orcs'). And b) yeah while china absolutely has its shortcomings (like the disparity between rural and urban China), it is doing some pretty cool stuff too, you should read up about it. This all is of course combined with the knowledge that the west is the primary purpetrator of imperialism, death, desease, hunger, poverty and instability in the global south, while not even being able to channel the stolen wealth to its citizens in order to make some billionairs even richer.
