      while the techniques were pioneered and written down by the KGB, I’m not even saying the blame lay on Russia alone. There are a lot of forces adopting this tactic, both foreign and domestic.

      Wait 'til you learn about Twitter.

        What are you even talking about?

        The KREMLIN and Russia as a country should be no more. Who talked about a genocide?

            Yes but what to do with imperial russia then? They are killing its own people too already.

            They got their chance in the nineties, the west poured billions into russia, helped with tech and so on.

              My suggestion is NOT GENOCIDE is that clear enough? How stupid do I have to make it.l before you understand the obliteration of a people and culture are wrong, evil actions?

        No, see, we are good persons, and they are bad, so when they do genocide, it’s bad, because they’re bad, but when we do it, it’s good, because we’re good!

            …Y’know what, let’s try and dumb this down a bit, middle school style:

            1. The post you’re replying to accentuates the words good and bad. Why is that?
            2. When the post talks about actions, what adjectives are used to describe them? How does that relate to the actors doing them? What is the causal relation implied?
            3. The action used in the post is genocide - why is that, in particular used as an example? Is the post justifying genocide? What does the example of genocide mean for the causal relation implied?
            4. What is the opinion of the author on the sentiments expressed in the post?
            5. Does the post take a stance on real-world political actors? Does the post even mention any? If so, does it justify them, or condemn them?
