I’ve noticed that the literal most sure way to recognise Russian trolls, is they’re always insisting people aren’t Russian trolls and that in fact, no such things actually even exist.
For me it’s just the pathetic wankers who avoid admitting that Putin is a war criminal with an ICC arrest out for him, justly, or if they do, they do it like “well allworld leaders are equally evil, Putin is no worse than Zelensky who” and then go on equivocating or whatabouting.
But you don’t disagree about the pathetic wankers who can’t admit to what a shitbag Putin is or do it while loudly proclaiming “all world leaders are”, which means negating the criticism towards Putin. Literal whataboutism.
So you know, I’m just checking.
Because I noticed that quite often a lot of Russian trolls who are quakebuttocks who can be caught from what they refuse to talk about. Usually it’s revealed by intense efforts to avoid saying something simple like “Putin is an international war criminal” and not all world leaders are like that. No whataboutism or equivocating.
I dislike everyone, but only accuse a small portion of those of being Russian trolls.
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 [email protected]

That’s why [email protected] doesn’t post on lemmy.world anymore.
I know Russian trolls are on Lemmy. What is odd though is they seem to be everyone I don’t like.
Oh? Not for me.
For me it’s just the pathetic wankers who avoid admitting that Putin is a war criminal with an ICC arrest out for him, justly, or if they do, they do it like “well allworld leaders are equally evil, Putin is no worse than Zelensky who” and then go on equivocating or whatabouting.
That was supposed to be humor.

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…?
