      Maybe. I wonder if I look over their account, I’ll find any other curious little points of view.

      Honestly, after looking, you might be right. They seem to sincerely participate in a whole bunch of different topics, it’s not just some one-note merry go rounds about Biden, Russia, and Israel, and then sort of token participation in random other topics. They’re a little heavy on geopolitics, and they say stuff like:

      because it’s not true. nothing in trumps actions can be explained by him being compromised by russia, if you’ve payed any attention at all to his entire life history, that can’t also be explained by the simple fact he just wanted to fucking do it.

      bad news, truly, this is what i believe from all evidence i’ve seen, most european nations have no standing armies, and no conventional weapons stockpiles, only uk and france have nukes. europe will begin to cauterize ukraine soon in order to concentrate on their own borders, but their defense spending has been so low, for so long, they couldn’t offer a token defense to the russians (not even mentioning the americans) in 10 years, and that’s if they started diverting enourmous parts of their gdp currrently going to social services like health care, yesterday

      … but that’s about all I could find. I think they might be sincere, and just sort of confused about things or sincerely pro-Israel.

      I think it’s possible that they are meant to be caricaturing the “other side,” they are overtly super-insulting and hostile about how it’s all the voters’ fault that Harris lost, and Israel is the good guys, and Russia is super strong and dangerous and we need to go be against Russia, guys. But they don’t look a whole lot like a troll account just paging over their history for a little while.

        God fordbid people have special interests and express a different opinion on an online message board.

          I wasn’t saying that as any bad thing. Just saying that in my experience, the accounts that post only about geopolitics, and always with one of a handful of the same pretty suspect takes on it, and then a thin veneer of other stuff they supposedly care about besides, are pretty identifiable and to me they’re pretty notable as a thing to talk about.

          There’s a big difference obviously between someone who takes an interest in geopolitics (I am one), and someone who only cares about geopolitics, and tries to shoehorn the same series of weird takes about it into every conversation. Like, for example, what the fuck is this whole conversation about Zelensky doing in this particular comments section? You can find the second one notable, without god-forbidding the first one.

            Every discussion of Israel attracts antisemites.
