Freeper behavior on Ukraine War threads...

Dilbert Comic Strip ^ | 27 Oct 2022 | Scott Adams

[Alas Babylon!]

Freepers on Ukraine threads be like:

[little jeremiah]

NATO is a big part of the problem; and also somehow the US funded bioweapons labs thing would have had to be resolved.

[Jamestown1630]

Me too also.

[caww]

Several are the same ones that trashed the threads in 2014 regarding Ukraine. Fortunately we had an abundance of people here who were looking for information and offering it so it outweighed the nastiness.

So this time around Ukraine got themselves hitched to a huge marketing complex where even the government leaders are all affiliated with such. Thus they “marketed” their stuff with a whole lot of false information many were willing to buy....and still are. Facts be damned.

We had news from Russia and other news sites offering both sides until Biden took office....but this time the world shut down any info out of Russia - which should have given everyone a heads up immediately the media was closing shop to everything but what Ukraine and the US wanted out there.

[Jamestown1630]

I agree.

For all the use they are, a lot of the posters here may as well be spouting that they ‘like electric schoolbuses’.

[caww]

Well I tell ya - the worlds media are mostly all now tucked in with the Global cabal - How they've marketed (brainwashed) the world in mass was clearly seen and heard as Zelensky made his world tours via video and flooded into every western governing bodies out there.....while they all shut down Russia and it's news sites.

This is what it will be like in the future - they're just going to “Pipe-line” all information through a controlled system now.

Look who owns the world media.

[Rockingham]

What do we get out of it? The humiliation and wrecking of our enemies, Putin and his thug regime, by Ukrainians fighting for their survival and freedom by repelling a Russian invasion. And in this effort, we have Britain and Poland and NATO as allies, with Sweden and Finland joining NATO out of fear of Russia. My guess is that the next summer will be decisive and will end with Putin and his gang out of power and Russia suing for peace.

[NonValueAdded]

Do you think the USA should drop out of NATO and remove our troops and bases from Europe?

is this a poll? I vote yes.

[markman46]

Yep I agree

[McGruff]

Yes too.

[Eagles6]

🤣

...the figure that was often invoked as the epitome of an evil person was the Pharaoh from the Exodus story.

Yup. Herod kind of had a bad rep too - as an ex-baby I have to relate...

[Peter ODonnell]

The pro-Russia faction always says that they are not pro-Russia just anti-globalist. The pro-Ukraine faction says they are not that into Zelensky and certain things about Ukraine but they are anti-Putin.

There are very few who have taken up the propaganda of either side, it’s more like a situation where part of the forum (not a majority) have chosen Russia as lesser of two evils, and the rest would rather fight globalism their own way and not Putin’s way.

Thus I perceive that if this conflict comes to some definitive end the forum will fairly quickly make peace between the tribes and unite to fight common enemies. The layer of insulting people with overblown rhetoric (in either direction) is just a way of passing the time given that nobody really knows what the hell is going on or what the end game is, my own guess is that Putin will disappear from power at some point fairly soon, in fact I’m surprised it hasn’t already happened, and that some new leadership will make a bit of a compromise with the NATO countries and try to resume the anti-globalist fight in some new and more sustainable way. For Russia, keeping the WEF out of their halls of power is not just a political choice, it’s a deterministic decision because one can see what would inevitably follow a color revolution style government in Moscow, they would be pulled into NATO and their society would start to echo our echo chambers. Russians are proud people who won’t take dictation. So of course is the MAGA and freedom convoy portion of our two countries, but we have been temporarily sidelined by shenanigans that are presented as “truths any reasonable person must believe” but are widely seen to be fabrications.

Bottom line for me, I can’t align with Putin on this Ukraine misadventure because national sovereignty is the most important principle being violated and Ukraine had become a legitimate nation state since 1991, not that I get to decide who is or is not such, but I consider Taiwan a legitimate nation state also in its own defined context. My list starts to resemble a Christmas wish list at some point because Tibet is on there also. My local Indian tribe on the other hand are in my mind a municipality not a nation state.

(A couple of the(m) are no longer with us.)

I guess I missed that since I avoid most of those threads anymore. And for some time too.

[algore]

So the Jew leaders plotted and then dispatched teams to kill all the Egyptian first born sons, but it was the pharaoh who was Evil...

Got it.

[Fresh Wind]

You can see this behavior in full display by reading through the list of keywords on every Ukraine propaganda thread.

[caww]

[Vlad0]

Yeah. Just like “ejection deniers” who don’t admit Biden won despite all that evidence. /sarc

[FreedomPoster]

Well played, you evil Putin lover.

(Did I get that right?)

That may be my favorite Dilbert image of all time. It’s probably 2 decades plus old.
