I don't even want to waste my time debating you, I'm just going to go for a cathartic FUCK YOU SCUMBAG.

That's better.

Sorry I upset your right wing sensibilities, stop cheering for genocide, cunt.

I don't understand this type of trolling, but maybe it's just not designed for me. When your statement is so clearly and obviously nonsense that everyone who reads it can tell it's not genuine, what's the goal?

[–] theonlytruescotsman -2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not everyone that disagrees with you is trolling. Why did you even leave reddit when you're just a generic redditor that fully agrees with the worst parts of that site?

See, just more of the same. I don't get it. Wouldn't it be more effective to try and go after real things? My profile is ripe for the picking, but instead you just make up nonsense? I guess I'm familiar with the style of trolling where you just waste people's time, but I still don't understand it or why you wouldn't want to use your free time for something enjoyable.

You support Ukraine, you're a far right genocide supporting cunt. The rest of your profile doesn't enter into it.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Because Ukraine is carrying out a righth-wing genocide? Are you still looking for the WMD in Iraq or you just selectively choose which imperialistic bs to believe?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm still confidently of the opinion he's just a troll.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

I don't think so. I think there are quite a lot of people with a very shallow knowledge of European history, who saw few Nazi symbols carries by Ukrainian Nazi and then are ready to assume this position. Most of these people want to be anti-imperialists when it comes to US or UK (often being from US themselves), so this makes it handy: US supports Ukraine, I have seen Ukrainian Nazis, Russia called this denazification, Russia is enemy of US and that's how they get this position.

Of course, they hardly have idea of the Ukrainian perspective as a colony, as subject to an imperial power before etc.
