inb4 the 74.6% of voters being called ‘russian bots’
i swear to god everytime i see someone slightly cared, worried or sympathetic to russia and even slightly support putin, they’ve been called a ‘russian/putin bot’ just because of all of that
Some American lib tried to say that and got like 50 responses from people all over the world telling her to pound sand lol.
When they overuse it, it’s going to lose all meaning and people are going to start mocking them for it
(copied/pasted my response here as it’s relevant)
I mean, just look at this Matt Toomer guy’s Twitter account and you can see his following is primarily comprised of people who believe Putin in the right and that Zelensky is in the wrong.
I wouldn’t say this is “Russian bots”, but I would say it’s a comically biased poll and for anyone to think that the results are useful in any sense is just a prime example of confirmation bias in action. Anyone who knows anything about polling can see why it’s silly to act as if this poll isn’t deeply rooted in plain bias.
This is like FOX or CNN polling their viewers and then parading around the results that just happen to be in line with their reporting.
The fact that only a single person in this comment thread bothered to ask who Matt Toomer is, that’s pretty telling of how much blind biased support there is here. Even when the OP was asked who Toomer is, they just replied “No idea. It just popped up on my feed.”. And this is a poll you all seem to think is meaningful?
Before I inevitably receive angry replies… I’m not some anti-communist, I just think a lot of communists’ take on this Ukraine-Russia conflict just reeks of bias that usually isn’t called out because places like this tend to unfortunately be echo chambers.
Well, this is a fairly rational choice: while Putin is a lying populist, right now he’s under more international scrutiny at least when it comes to foreign policy matters. Unlike the other leaders who can get away with egregious lies trivially.
Because the other ones are doing the scruteny so they obviously exempt themselves from it.
they’ll just yell “russian bots” and go back into their safe bubble of confirmation bias
There are probably russian bots, but these libs think because there are like 10 or 20, that every single fucking pro-russian or pro-putin in existence is some sort of psy-op

I’ll add that it’s pretty damn rich of you to talk about peoples “safe bubble of confirmation bias” while upvoting this ridiculously flawed “poll”.
Left support for Russia in this conflict has more to do with anti-imperialism and a burning hatred for nazis than anything else. I honestly don’t give a shit who this guy is or who his supporters are since none of them have any bearing on my own understanding or opinion of this conflict. This was just a fun lol dunk on the shitlibs who are painting the entire internet yellow and blue and sending money and guns to literal fucking nazis.
Bruh the fact that people are trusting more on johnson then Biden and Zelensky COMBINED tells a lot about how disastours their goverments have been.
They’ll probably screech something about “Russian bots” and go back to distilling foreigners to stereotypes or cheering on Nazis.

You are totally correct, this is a dialectical take. And I still would have voted for Putin
Dialectical take? All I see is someone making a strawman argument about critics decrying the poll for “Russian bots” when what’s really happening here is the poll is overwhelming in favor of Putin because the guy conducting the poll has a large following of people who mostly support Putin.
Whose Johnson are we talking about here?
I assumed Boris, but it’s possible they were talking about Dwayne.
That might not be half bad. International conflicts would be solved by the respective leaders wrestling instead of, ya know, war.
Back to the old days. “You want war? Cool, here’s your spear, here’s your hoplon, here’s your helmet. The enemy is in that direction, go wild. Not willing to fight your war? Fuck off then.”
they at least have to ride with their armies on horseback or do something trying to truly make up for the fact they aint there.
Libs will tell you that Zelensky is doing that
There is only one Boris the Clown on the world stage.
I really don’t need to be thinking about Boris’ Johnson. My day is completely ruined.
The one who’s acting like a dick.

The caveman looking nonce.
Who is Matt Toomer?
No idea. It just popped up on my feed.
I’M TOOMING

Sure, everyone who disagrees with you is right wing. I fully support Russias actions, and if you call me right wing I will just laugh.
