I do continue to say it. Are pedophiles representative of the USA? They voted one in and still have him there after the abundant evidence that he contributed to the abuse and trafficking of girls and underage young women. I’ll agree that Nazis are representative of Ukraine if you agree that pedophiles are representative of good ol’ 'Murica.
Yes I would. Pedophiles and murders are absolutely representative of the US government lmao you don’t think they are? Amerika has been the most evil empire on earth since 1949. Raping pillaging and genociding across the world from the banana republics to Gaza to Jakarta.
Ah, OK. I rolled the dice on that one. Didn’t realise you would so easily agree. I think I see that we just have different views on whether a country represents the ideals of one or a smaller number of actors, whether or not they have made their way to the higher echelons of government. It’s clear that we’re not going to see eye to eye on this. Thanks for the exchange though.
That’s fair. To be honest I started with the theory that you were a bot or some pro-Russian propaganda tool. Now I believe you’re human I’d like apologise for the aggression. You didn’t deserve that.
pro-ukraine/pro-NATO bots outnumber pro-Russia bots at about a ratio of 10:1 by the way, even per western sources. It’s way more likely that any liberal pro-western person you talk to online is a bot than a “tankie” commie will be. Bots don’t tend to take extremely unpopular positions like communism, communists do. they try to fit in and act ‘normal’, they don’t die on principled hills. they also tend to target large userbases like on reddit or youtube, not tiny little lemmy subforums with 10 readers
Where are you getting your information for this? I’m not about to take this idea onboard cause some guy on the internet told me and he really sounded like he meant it.
In the English language community, there are 100,084 nodes and 573,885 edges, where there are 57.72% pro-Ukraine bots, 31.58% pro-Ukraine humans, 7.49% pro-Russia bots, and 3.21% pro-Russia humans
7.5 : 1 ratio, not 10:1, sorry for the slight mistake there. Most of the pro-russia english bots are also on the conservative side, not the leftist side.
Credit where credit’s due. That is a source. Just not quite for what I understand you are stating. This study was published in 2025, and used an internal Chinese university funding source in the year 2023/4. It is exclusively looking at Twitter (X) and Reddit posts about the Bucha massacre which took place in April 2022.
You appear to have taken elements of this study and are extrapolating it to reinforce a unilateral world view for all time that bears little association with the original research.
I ask you to note that genuine scientific research always starts from a position of openness to new information. This would be true if the study was repeated for a new topic today.

I’m not thankful you’ve been nothing but an aggressive petulant child caping for Nazis because you hate Russia.
