Thanks. But it’s exhausting, and I didn’t get everything right. I later found out, just as an example, that Yanukovich had actually been in office since 2010, pre-Maidan. And the Putinistas just keep hammering at the same talking points as if you didn’t say anything, so it’s a huge waste of time, except on principle you can’t let them fatigue you into silence.
I agree.
The pro Putin folks seem to believe that if they repeat their lies long enough m they will become truth
“eem to believe that if they repeat their lies long enough m they will become truth”
A common misconception made popular by Goebbels. But without a kernel of truth, a lie must die, and if you isolate that kernel of truth from the falsehoods built on it, the falsehoods will implode.
Still, it wears on one. We could combat it cooperatively, and also by finding stock answers that can just be cut and pasted, forcing them to come up with something new, which might require actual thought, rather than mere repetition.
