That's the conclusion of anybody who's been paying any attention and has at least a couple of brain cells to bang together. Soon enough this will become obvious even to the most imbecilic members of western public. In the meantime feel free to keep regurgitating the propaganda you've been fed for the past two years like a parrot.
As someone who largely agrees with the content of what you have to say, your delivery is absolutely disgusting. You litter every comment with personal attacks, insults, and are needlessly offensive. I genuinely don't know if you think that aggression helps get your point across, but it doesn't. And, considering how many of your comments get removed by mods for that insult and disrespect, you should realize that even if you personally think it's constructive, the mods don't. If you think the content of your comments is valuable, don't you think it'd have more value if it is left up for others to see, instead of having it removed where nobody can learn from it? If you resort to this namecalling and aggression so much, and the comments get removed, they're of no value. As an outside observer, by reading your comments, I'm less likely to trust what you have to say, and instead would assume you have a set agenda that you won't stray from. Your behavior detracts from your trustworthiness.
I appreciate the sentiment, and for what it's worth, you'll never find me making personal attacks or insults to people who engage with me in polite discussion. I realize I could do better engaging with trolls, but I find it difficult not to respond in kind. None of us are perfect, all we can do is try to be better.
I'll just summarize my point: if you think you have educational value in your comments, that value is nil if the comment gets removed.
I get your point perfectly fine. The reality is that we're all human, and we react to provocations. That's why trolling works and why trolls do it. We all react in ways we wish we didn't because it's not easy to change your own negative behavior even when you're aware of it. All I can do is try to interact with people better.
Edit
No point lying. If you check the modlog plenty of his comments get removed. You can check for yourself.
Neat
