How do you make someone understand that being drafted by force and ordered to invade another country is not a good thing? (sh.itjust.works)

Approximately so

"Do you really think we're on the Russian state's radar"?

So again you're pretending propaganda only exists in the form of people who are financially compensated or mandated by the Russian state. That's insanely childish of a take. You either have really bad reading comprehension, or you're engaging with me in bad faith. Latter is against the rules, I believe?

It's weird how you can pretend to have asserted that you have implicitly agreed with the fact that Russia has broken international laws with an illegal war of aggression by invading Ukraine. If you're not pro-Russian, then it should be rather easy to say "Yes, Russia has broken international law."

Even with your notion of propaganda being spread purely by paid actors, you admit that there's a non-zero chance of that happening on Lemmy. Now, IF there was such an actor here, would they have a problem with admitting that Russia has broken international law with a war of aggression by invading Ukraine? I believe they would. Wouldn't you?

Oh I see, I missed this part: “ignoring all the people who’ve bought into the propaganda,” probably because I’ve stopped paying attention.

Like I said, some people are going to have different opinions from you. You can engage with them, downvote them, or leave.

Now, IF there was such an actor here, would they have a problem with admitting that Russia has broken international law with a war of aggression by invading Ukraine?

frothingfash You got us, we’re all GRU agents. Lemmy is one big psyop.

To recap, you — a mod — proudly admit you don't have the attention span to read the things on the forum you're a mod on, even the ones you're actively taking part in?

Hey, you're free to disagree with me.

Ofc I'm going to judge you for being pro-Russian, as that's just shameful. However, I assume that you won't be able to answer whether you are or aren't, despite pretending that you already have, even though people who have the attention spans to actually read the thread can clearly see you haven't — you've spent a lot of energy avoiding it. This reminds of the time I was in an elevator with a drunk guy who loudly shat his pants and then proclaimed "it wasn't me!" (And it was very clearly just the two of us in there.)
