As far as I know, being dumb isn't against the community's rules, so no. That would just be bothering the mods for no reason.

I read something along the lines of "Report, do not engage" but maybe it's more for obvious shills?

Thanks for the heads up though!

"Report, do not engage" is for trolls. These people are true believers, they just believe in something deeply immoral and senseless, because they think they won't suffer the consequences of fascism.

Thanks for clearing that out, and yes, as I went to school and also grew up alongside the soviet fucking union I'm quite aware that these poor souls are quite delusional.

It's quite interesting for me how they can hold those beliefs. They're so engaged too.

Almost a shame they are not a bit more tame because now it's hard or even impossible to engage in a constructive discussion with them.

Not engaging is still valid for idiots, not just trolls.
