Every single point there is non-falsifiable. Russiamania is a religion.
if you say something as simple as “as a westerner, maybe the US isn’t so great” you qualify for all of these points pretty much

- That shopping cart with a wonky wheel? Russian trolls.
the guy who takes a while to get his ticket and makes you lose the train? Russian bot, 100%
You know how there’s sometimes a bloke walking before you, who doesn’t look large, but somehow takes up the entire sidewalk and is walking so, so slow?
That way me, Navaryn! Russian Bot!
That guy who doesn’t realize the light turned green and costs you 10 seconds of your commute? Russian troll
There’s no reasoning with these people.
That’s what bullets are for.
Man, if your entire world view is based around “everyone agrees with me except Russian state actors”, you’re probably a fucking lunatic who drank the kool aid. I can’t even imagine thinking this.
I unironically miss the days of the Homer Simpson type liberals that basically think “everyone is stupid except me”. I’ll take that and laugh at them every day of the week compared to “they are a Russian bot/troll who seeks to undermine democracy” types. Like anyone can believe that they’re smart and everyone is dumb. It’s childish but I at least UNDERSTAND it. but to believe that State Departments from halfway across the globe are conspiring against your shitty Twitter posts because you’re some sorta glowing bastion of Democracy is beyond stupid, it’s even a bit arrogant to assume that their government would spend a penny trying to argue with some Ukraine flag Globe emoji centrist. Bring back the old liberals!
Yeah this is delusionally out of touch

the “whataboutism” logical fallacy always felt to me like bringing it up was the real fallacy. It just allows you to deflect pretty much anything because you deem it not relevant. How am i supposed to debate you on anything if any information concerning your side is whataboutism?
So glad i gave up the cringe internet “debate” culture a while ago
I always say that “whata-burger-izuhm” itself is a fallacy. Calling out lies and hypocrisy and telling the truth shouldn’t be considered whataboutism.
Yeah but if it didn’t, there wouldn’t be a point to calling “whataboutism”, would there?
Ayup. That’s why it is always brought up - can be used to deflect any criticism and shut down any attempts at analysis
If there is such a thing as “whataboutism” then it would be bringing up something entirely unrelated to the topic of discussion. It is not “whataboutism” however when you point out rampant hypocrisy and how they are guilty of much worse instances of the exact same thing they are accusing others of. That shows that they are entirely engaging in bad faith and that they do not really care about the issue. In which case there is no point in continuing to argue with such a dishonest interlocutor.
arming neoliberal tools to debate in bad faith like the pette bourgeois right has been since pepe became a thing
The Russian bots are even responsible for US police killings and Kaepernicks kneeling protest… Kamala Harris edition.
Wait til they do 9/11, the Kennedy Assasination, and the Hindenburg event

My interpretation of the paranoid post: “Everyone who say something that I do not like is a Russian trolls who embody everything that I hate about myself and the privileged countries in the Pax Americana order!”
Remember that time Star Wars The Last Jedi did poorly and the writers and fans seriously tried to argue that it was due to Russian trolls?
God that sucked, I wish I could receive that 2 hours I wasted and just sit doing nothing. That would’ve been a better use of my time than watching that shit
Yoooooo new Barborous Asiatic Hordes descendants of Genghis Khan crackpot shit just dropped

Only have this one unfortunately.
New? It’s already years old
I don’t think it was ever this bad tho was it
Perhaps not, but it has always been unfalsifiable, religion-esque zealotry. See also Parenti quote
The quote
In the United States, for over a hundred years, the ruling interests tirelessly propagated anticommunism among the populace, until it became more like a religious orthodoxy than a political analysis. During the Cold War, the anticommunist ideological framework could transform any data about existing communist societies into hostile evidence. If the Soviets refused to negotiate a point, they were intransigent and belligerent; if they appeared willing to make concessions, this was but a skillful ploy to put us off our guard. By opposing arms limitations, they would have demonstrated their aggressive intent; but when in fact they supported most armament treaties, it was because they were mendacious and manipulative. If the churches in the USSR were empty, this demonstrated that religion was suppressed; but if the churches were full, this meant the people were rejecting the regime’s atheistic ideology. If the workers went on strike (as happened on infrequent occasions), this was evidence of their alienation from the collectivist system; if they didn’t go on strike, this was because they were intimidated and lacked freedom. A scarcity of consumer goods demonstrated the failure of the economic system; an improvement in consumer supplies meant only that the leaders were attempting to placate a restive population and so maintain a firmer hold over them. If communists in the United States played an important role struggling for the rights of workers, the poor, African-Americans, women, and others, this was only their guileful way of gathering support among disfranchised groups and gaining power for themselves. How one gained power by fighting for the rights of powerless groups was never explained. What we are dealing with is a nonfalsifiable orthodoxy, so assiduously marketed by the ruling interests that it affected people across the entire political spectrum.

Thank gd that the super soldiers of r/PutinWatch are on guard, what would we ever do without them… -_-
Tell those Russian trolls I said hi
Right? I’d like to have dinner with those Russian trolls
Russian trolls DO exist, but they are a lot less professional than these maniacs believe them to be and usually they just call people slurs on 4 / 8chan or reactionary YT videos
Whew, good to know my middle aged parents, pansexual partner, enby friends, and centrist peers are free from Russian Bot infiltration.
Also “Impersonate black and white… Americans”, is that the extent of their concept of race and ethnicity? I know this a good 99% to be AI generated, but come on…
