No, what I mean is I see people from hexbear mindlessly regurgitating propaganda instead of engaging with what they write.
You know, like what you're doing now.
Sad comeback, stopped working in kindergarten. What propaganda have you seen me put out in this thread?
That wasn't a comeback, it was pointing out hypocrisy.
And the way you speak about your instance and how everyone else is dumb and brainwashed screams authoritarian and/or fascist propaganda.
Which is funny because what you're accusing me of doing is exactly the behavior people from hexbear and lemmygrad are infamous for.
That's why I said that a nuanced take from hexbear is surprising, because it's rare for any of them to actually admit that Russia has issues.
In order to point out hypocrisy you need me to do the thing I critique. So point me to where I have mindlessly repeated propaganda.
Authoritarian is a meaningless word, either so vague as to describe every state that exists or so narrow and specific you might as well just replace it with the name of the nation you're attempting to slander.
Fascism is an actual concept however, and it doesn't just mean "person who says things I dislike".
This is the kind of stuff that is actually a "mindless regurgitation". You have here written words without considering what they actually mean.
And this is once again what I mean with "your eyes glaze over." Go into the newsmega and see how many people shit on Putin. Just because we can actually acknowledge why the war was started and how it's going doesn't mean we are Putin-stans.
It's in the middle but I kept it for the end because I wanted to. To repeat myself like a poorly trained parrot: What a terrible attempt at a comeback that stopped working in kindergarten. If you were actually trying to point out hypocrisy, you might do well to point it out rather than just say things with no base or merit. I can point you to a myriad of posts and comments of people shitting on Putin. I can point you to a myriad of situations where people like you do what you are currently doing - Letting your eyes glaze over because you see someone say something more in depth than "russian man bad".
At this point I can see where this is going. You will keep returning to "no actually you are the one doing the thing" but without any merit or the ability to relate to the things I write (You still haven't pointed to where I spouted propaganda) unlike me - See how I'm actually responding to your text? Neat trick where I relate to what you write. You should try it. Your eyes have glazed over now though, it's too late. So I'm going to disengage and block you. I hope one day your curiosity will get the better of you and you'll start to actually read what those dastardly hexbears write when they write of the russian man or the chinese man or any other man.
