    Man, saying “He’s an American who fell for Russian propaganda” isn’t denying the existence of Russian propaganda.

      Correct.

      So what the proof that Davel is American? How many Americans or people in general, do you know of, who have learned to speak fluent Russian in their adult years?

        What’s the proof that he’s Russian? You haven’t given any proof either, and claiming he as alts where he speaks fluent Russian isn’t the same as providing proof of that. People can make any claim they want.

        Combating Russian propoganda begins with people being skeptical, and that includes of you.

          Literally everything he says and does.

          being skeptical, and that includes of you

          But only skepticism towards Russia doing disinformation. It’s not like if you were a person who was purposefully spreading Russian disinfo that you’d have a vested interest in literally always being “skeptical” towards anyone trying to catch you out in said disinfo?

          No, of course not, what’s the proof for that?

          Its hilarious that you don’t realise how utterly garbage your rhetoric is. It’s like arguing a 12-year old irl :D

          What’s the proof that Vicky with three kisses was working for the British?

          Combating Russian propaganda begins with calling it out for what it is, not sucking Putler’s smegma-y cock every chance you get.

            It’s not more evidence that he’s Russian than just a Russian shill living anywhere else. Do you think those people don’t exist on the internet? The fact you talk about Russian propoganda relies on the fact they exist. If they didn’t, what is the propoganda doing?

            Its hilarious that you don’t realise how utterly garbage your rhetoric is. It’s like arguing a 12-year old irl :D

            Lol. OK buddy.

            What’s the proof that Vicky with three kisses was working for the British?

            Hold up. You’re making the comparison of a Germany making fake Nazi messages to this? Doesn’t that go against your point? The equivalent here is that he’s an American being used by Russia to convert other Americans! What argument are you making?

            Combating Russian propaganda begins with calling it out for what it is, not sucking Putler’s smegma-y cock every chance you get.

            Dude, saying that the only people who could speak favorably about Russia is letting them get away with spreading propoganda. If there’s no risk that it’s converting other people then we need not be weary of it. If we instead realize that it does have an effect and it has converted people, then it let’s us combat the actual effects. You’re arguing for being nieve.

              Ah, so I’m equally as likely to be Ugandan, Russian or Australian, or whichever country from, despite having posted photographs of #Finnish so dogtags and having said I’m Finish.

              Because prove that it’s not as likely that I’m not Finnish. You can’t. I’m just as likely to be from Uganda. There’s just no way to know! ^/s

              Lol. OK buddy.

              Yep. The fact you keep thinking you’re good at this is hilarious to me. You do know that people who are shit at things often overestimate their skills, right? You know that’s a fact, right? Oh wait… that joke might require introspection. :(

              So Vicky with Three Kisses was undoubtedly a faithful German working for the Reich, right? You can’t prove she wasn’t!

              Xdddd

              Keep it coming I love it

              “let us combat the actual effects of this thing I’m fervently defending while thinking it’s not painfully obvious” Heheheheheheheheheheheh

              Oh shit I have to renew my ventoline you’re literally killing me

                That would explain all your bullshit.

                As far as I’m aware, he has not posted pictures of where he’s from. It’s most likely that he’s American, because the most users are. It is incredibly unlikely that he’s Ugandan. Sure, the probability isn’t zero, but it’s low.

                So Vicky with Three Kisses was undoubtedly a faithful German working for the Reich, right? You can’t prove she wasn’t!

                Wow, you’re actually an idiot! You won’t admit how stupid your argument was, so you shift to something totally different! Wow, this is crazy. I’m done here, but feel free to keep going. I guess I should have taken the advice of “don’t argue with idiots. They’ll pull you down to their level and win with experience.” I don’t think you’ve won here. Based on the ratio, everyone sees how bad your shit stinks. However, you think you’re winning. Just stay on the offensive, and provide no evidence, and it’ll surely make people believe you’re winning, right?

                  Why is it most likely?

                  Because… you believed so?

                  You won’t admit how stupid your argument was, so you shift to something totally different

                  Well this is undoubtedly the most ironic thing I’ve read this year.

                  “This guy spreading purposeful Russian propaganda and suckling Putler’s teat to every last inch is actually not a Russian, there’s not even remote evidence he’s a Russian and actually he’s American and that means you should always s question support for the imperialist capitalist forces you remain bound to in your nations comrades! And btw, this is me being socially progressive and not a Marxist-Leninst moron”

                  Ruahahaha haha

                  “I’m done here”

                  No you’re not lol. You’re so mad and like severely on a mission that you definitely won’t stop replying. You’re so utterly utterly utterly pissed because I brought up Синдром Вахтёра but ofc you can’t reply showing you know what I mean.

                  And when you pretend not to, it’s kind of hilariously. I’d love to play poker with real money with you. Although I don’t accept rubles.
