    Hostility to Russia, Iran & China

    Now we have to guess which country’s propaganda machine is responsible for this post.

    It’s Russia. It’s always Russia.

      Naturally, the common people don’t want war. . . but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

      Fucking bootlicker.

          I never denied that Russia has propaganda. I do deny your assumption that anyone who isn’t slobbering over US boots must automatically be licking Russian boots, that anyone who doesn’t do like you do and fall in lockstep behind hating whoever the people in power tell us to hate must be a traitor or spy.

          Keep denouncing anyone who’s antiwar for their lack of patriotism, you’re making Goering proud.

            You just posted a quote from Goering in response to me suggesting that a post that decries both parties for “Hostility to Russia, Iran and China” is probably Russian propaganda.

            You sir, are the bootlicker.

              Yes, because you’re claiming that anyone who doesn’t fall in line with your Orwellian “five minutes hate” is a traitor. That’s the definition of bootlicking.

                No, I’m not. I just said that this post was likely Russian propaganda. That’s it.

                Maybe you should engage in some critical reflection instead of repeating whatever imperialist genocidal powers tell you to think.

                  Because the post criticized the fact that American citizens get zero say over foreign policy, you assumed it was “likely Russian propaganda.”

          There’s a world of difference between “Russia has propaganda” and “this post and anything like it that criticises the West is Russian propaganda”

          Also, Wikipedia isn’t a reliable source.

                  if you had taken half a second to read what i wrote instead of copy pasting from your tankie .txt file of pre made responses, you’d realize the sources are cited in wikipedia

                  And if you had taken half a second to read what I wrote, rather than copy pasting the standard reddit shitlibs insults, youd realize that you should cite those sources, not expect other people to dig for them.

                  But we all know you didn’t actually check the sources did you? You just trust it because Wikipedia said it.

                  look, the russian troll even went to school and knows some history of his mother land!

                  You’re not beating the neo-nazi accusations with this one.
