    Isn’t ironic how tankies are entirely fueled by propaganda but they always bitch about propaganda (aka anything they don’t like including facts)

      Lol standard halfwit take:

      Adopting the “tankie” slur for everyone without substance and obviously no knowledge of what they are talking about - check

      Being embedded in propaganda and blaming others who point it out - check

      “You’re not including facts” - lol for what? Am I responding to a factual argument? Am I demanding facts from you?

      But sure have some facts:

      Guardian from 2011 - Revealed: US spy operation that manipulates social media

      Intercept from 2014 - HACKING ONLINE POLLS AND OTHER WAYS BRITISH SPIES SEEK TO CONTROL THE INTERNET

      Believe me it has only gotten worse in the >10 years since

      Twitter files revealed pentagon bots were whitelisted as well

      If you miss your propaganda friends that hard reddit is still there for you

      Edit: I realize your missing punctuation threw me off, I read: “(aka anything, they don’t like including facts)” …doesn’t change much though
