Oh, I don’t think they are Russian trolls, so much as “useful idiots”, as the Soviet Union called them. Westerners so obsessed with the Soviet aesthetic that they’re willing to spread obvious propaganda. I very highly doubt many of them are Russian at all, or have even been to one of the countries they idolize.
Because forget living in a communist country, they like the rights democracy is supposed to afford them and don’t wanna give that up. They just aren’t willing to admit it.
I don’t need to admit anything like that. For one thing, I don’t know you or care what a random internet person thinks about my authenticity. For another, a quick look at my profile, or the comms I mod, will tell you all you need to know about what kind of person I am or am not.
Chances are, if you’re tossing around insults like “Russian troll”, you won’t like me regardless of whether you think I am one or not.
Afraid of falling out of a window or having a bad cup of tea…?
No, there’s no need to, but looking at your profile, you’re a very politically active poster. It would be extremely weird for a very political poster not to have an opinion about the Russo-Ukrainian war, started illegally by Vladimir Putin, who has an ICC warrant out for him.
There was absolutely zero need for you to reply, but you can’t help but to give yourself away.

So now you are denying the existence of Russian disinformation? Because why would calling out Russian disinfo be considered bad… for people who are not pathetic pro-Russian wankers?
Edit since you don’t like me, aren’t you gonna call me a Russian troll, since you definitely believe in the existence of Russian trolls on Lemmy, just like you said? Here’s one for example davel@lemmy.ml
Note that nice burn “I have a seven-, a six- and a three-year old, madam secretary, I have a bullshit detector.” He’s calling her a petulant child pretty directly while absolutely getting away with it.
But I think we all know what she believes about the thing she’s refusing to comment on.
Just like from now on, everyone will know you’re pro-Russian. Thanks!

Do you know one other thing I’ve noticed? Those “Westerners” never describe themselves as “Westerners”, but it’s common parlance in Russia.
I notice you didn’t take my implication that I’d like you to admit those things I pointed out, aloud. You know, just because.
Or perhaps you did… and you’re purposefully avoiding it. Now who was it that I say does such things, most commonly…?

Ok? And?
And you not answering means you’re very obviously pro-Russian.
I know your ego makes you act silly, but have a look at what an exchange like this looks like from the outside.

I’ve been instructed by my handler in the kremlin to inform you that I am, in fact, a russian troll
Oh wow, still avoiding the questions like a petulant child, while running away to a place that you can moderate. How original.
Why won’t you say you’re not pro-Russian? Because you’re literally afraid that you could be killed or jailed for voicing an opinion like that?
At this point, I’m not saying it out of spite.
