I liked it better when all the turbo libs were contained on Reddit.
- Indeed, we now have a bunch of utter imbeciles running around the fediverse.
  
  There are Feds in the Fediverse...
You'd think more than half a century full of precedents would have made Americans suspicious of any military involvement of their country but they just end up watching some revisionist pop history youtuber and do the same song and dance again.
- The fact that they keep falling for this over and over is definitely the most hilarious part. Really shows that they're not capable of even an iota of critical thinking or self reflection.
- "But my marvel brain says military good guys"
- Most Americans genuinely don’t care what happens to the “foreigners”. I don’t think most care what is happening in Ukraine one way or another. They just let the politicians decide for them
- Too much of a pain for them to "Remember the Maine".
  125 years after the self inflicted incident that sparked the American global empire and yet the modus operandi has barely changed: the same warmongering yellow press, the same fishing for incidents to weaponize, and the same callous use of proxies that are ultimately betrayed.
It's maddening engaging with them online. It literally makes me feel like I'm talking to delusional people with the inability to even be aware of their own thoughts.
- Reading the comments in that thread is like stepping into a bizarro universe. I wonder what the turning point will be when these people have to start reconciling the fantasy world they built up with the real one. This was hands down my fav comment from the thread
  Pppffff in what world is resisting an invasion by a much larger country with a larger military for over a year, a defeat? Even if Ukraine settles, they won this war.
  I think that's likely gonna be the narrative libs smoothly pivot towards ignoring everything they said for two years. Also, never mind that literally all of NATO is propping Ukraine up. It's just a small country resisting a much larger country all on its own. When Ukraine is finally destroyed that's actually a huge win.
  
  We lost, but actually we won (in our minds). 🤡
  This is literally the manifestation of idealism.
  
  Remember they say they won Vietnam because they killed more people than they lost.
  
  Well, they keep trying to imagine that Russia is deploying it's full military force against Ukraine, denying that it's a limited SMO. They use the deployment of aging equipment as evidence that Russia is using everything they have and running out instead of as evidence that Russia is still able to meet it's objectives with a limited use of its worst equipment.
  
  I don't know understand what they call winning a war. War is politics by other means. 2 countries or more have soldiers fight to kill each other till one side concedes to the other. If one settles and concedes to the terms of the other country, that is defeat.
- Wasn’t it worth is though to see someone unwittingly compare Chiang Kai-shek to Abraham Lincoln? Lol
  
  Because both of them conducted genocidal policies towards Indigenous people, right?
  
  That was hilarious. I'm glad you saw that
- I honestly just assume most, or a food portion at least, are not even "real" people but wreckers, feds, etc. That are there for malicious purpose to cause strife. There were already some trickling in before the reddit drama but a massive influx out of nowhere would have been obvious. Then the reddit debacle went down and it gave them the perfect opportunity to flood in. A good number of the actual people have probably already gone back to reddit leaving a higher concentration of feds left over. At least that's MY theory.
  
  I don't think there's that many feds working on this sort of thing domestically. I think it's easier to imagine these people are just run of the mill Americans. I mean, FFS, there are literal young Republican clubs all over the country in universities. That requires a special sort of distributed brain rot process affecting millions.
- I think they are all bots
