    Yes. They have been for years now. Our far-right are a bunch of fucking idiot assholes, and easily manipulated.

      They’re also for sale. Don’t forget, they will promote whatever bullshit they are paid to say. No matter how stupid or dangerous.

      Anyway now that I’ve explained how my domestic political opposition are easily manipulated, let me explain to you how everything bad that’s ever happened is the fault of the outside enemy.

          Learn what a strawman is you fucking baby. It doesn’t mean when someone makes fun of what you say.

          And equally you fucking baby: posts stay on ‘active’ for days on this site. Act like you’ve been here.

            This isn’t for AntiOutsideAktion. This is for anyone else who stumbles on this thread, so you can be absolutely clear on what happened.

            1. I responded to the question posed in the headline as follows: “Yes. They have been for years now. Our far-right are a bunch of fucking idiot assholes, and easily manipulated.”
              My comment was accurate. Despite years of concerted effort by Russia’s defenders and proxies, their troll army is well-documented, and their targeting of right-wing idiots in the United States is equally well-documented. It happened. It’s happening now.
            2. In response, AntiOutsideAktion said this: “Anyway now that I’ve explained how my domestic political opposition are easily manipulated, let me explain to you how everything bad that’s ever happened is the fault of the outside enemy.”
              That is a disingenuous and obvious strawman of what I said. I never claimed “everything bad that’s ever happened is the fault of the outside enemy.” The fact that our right-wing dipshits are so easily led astray is entirely on them.
            3. So I called him out on that.

            The end. That’s what happened. And that’s why I’m not even remotely interested in his takes on anything else, and he’s going on my otherwise-mostly-empty block list after I post this comment.
