Oh yes, "another target".
You felt threatened, because I asked you if you were pro-Russian. Took you a while to respond, btw. And did you even give a yes or no answer? I fail to recall you saying you're not pro-Russian. And I've never accused you of being a "Russian operative", lol. Spreading Russian propaganda doesn't even require that you are a Russian. But Davel is claiming to be American, while being intensely pro-Russian and due to the interactions someone dug in the modlog last time, we also know there's an actual organised effort with them. I still haven't said that organised effort is actually some paid "operatives".
You read too much into things. Improve your reading comprehension and maybe you won't feel so easily threatened by simple questions like "are you pro-Russian" when you use a username like "archomrade" and constantly post things consistent with Russian propaganda. Perhaps you just don't realise it?
Thanks for your efforts fighting disinformation. Seriously.
Why thank you. I appreciate that. Honestly, more than you'd guess.
They edited their post about four hours after you wrote yours, I suspect to try and discredit your points, because in their post they claim to have repeatedly told you they they’re neither Russian nor pro-Russia, but my skeptical antennae are twitching.
Also, their justification for editing their post is that you're banned on their instance, which I don't buy as a reason to edit rather than reply. You're not banned on world and neither are they.
Oh yeah I remember that guy. He says he answered the question, but he never did. I thought there was something I wasn't really recalling. But yeah. Then I kept asking "if you already answered it, why can't you answer again, it's a simple yes or no question", but he just refuses to answer.
Now this might be me imagining things, but these accounts lie about literally anything, but they can't say "no, I'm not pro-Russian", because they know how insane Russia is and no matter how unimportant you are, if you actually say you are against the government, even as a clear joke, you might be in danger of falling out of a window.
No yeah they just quit replying once they realise they're going on a bit too long while absolutely refusing to answer such a simple question. It's not even "are you Russian". It's whether they support the current Russian policies. Anyone who can't say they're against Russia literally breaking international law can go fuck themselves. Hear that, @[email protected] ?
Chill out there is nothing to get upset about.
Come to think of it, how do I know you aren't Russian? In truth, how do any of us know we aren't Russian?
If they absolutely refuse to answer "are you pro-Russian", while actively spreading Russian propaganda, that might be a tip as to what they support.
I'm against Russia. I've been militarily trained to protect my country from Russia, and I'm willing to do it should the fuckers open up a second front here. However seeing how they're having to pour orcs into the meatgrinder at such a rate that their equipment is getting older and older, we'd end up facing enemies with WWII gear while we're outfitted with the latest gear.
Plus, we didn't let them through the last time either.
Haven't worn this in a while, prolly would have to shave down to a buzzcut for it to fit. But I'm not gonna paste an image of my military pass. Not because I'm afraid I'll dox myself or anything, but because it was in my storage and a drunken bum fell asleep in the next storage over while smoking cigarettes and burned down the whole storage room with everyone's storage spaces. Thanks for reminding me though, I need a new one.
Jokes aside, it's not about whether someone is Russian or not. It's about whether someone is pro current Russian policies. I mean I'd argue that actual Russian patriots would fight Putin in any reasonable way. And this probably excludes open armed rebellion, but like, just generally, oppose him. People don't dare to though, as they tend to fall out of windows. I'm not opposed to Russia. I'm opposed to what Russia currently is.
Sounds like you have some justification. Makes sense if you are defending your home.
Thank you for understanding.
