I’ve never seen a Russian disinformation poster in action. You gotta be more subtle my man.
“You disagree with me so much you must be a Russian asset” is getting really, really old. I do commend you for leaving out “bot,” though.
for real, thats all these people can resort to when they have no other counterpoints. next im gonna get called an iranian AI meme generator… oooo boogie man, bad bad foreign agent gonna dupe the wittle helpwess amewrikan pubwic… they don’t realize that they are propagandists
It’s not very helpful when you resort to the infantile text line you did at the end. Started off strong but insulting the person you’re disagreeing with will only incline to disagree more. I do agree with the sentiment though.
what is with this respectability that we need to uphold? as long as the guy punching you in the face is polite, we should be polite back? these people claiming that what they don’t agree with couldn’t possibly be conceived by someone critically thinking and not being paid for by their enemies don’t deserve my respect
I completely agree, but it reaches a point quite quickly that mirrors the idea of “snowflake.” I’m not saying you need to be polite but it’s a lot better at reaching an audience when you don’t insult them. We don’t need to respect someone to talk to them neutrally. They’ve already stopped to Russian asset, you have nothing to gain by stooping to their uniformed, insult level of commentary.
