Not all of any social media, including Reddit but also fediverse, is going to be organic. Not that that means the general sentiments aren't real.

that's literally the case https://www.mintpressnews.com/jessica-ashooh-reddit-national-security-state-plant/277639/

That's not gonna settle anything. Someone here felt the need to explain to me that praising the balls of someone, even a woman, it's seen as a mean to praise bravery. No need to measure Zelensky's balls unless, of course, for science.

What are you talking about? You can write your own post, or even create a community, to talk about testicles, so-called bravery, and or all kinds of balls. I've read the answers, not dismissed anything.

Presumably because he borrowed someone else’s for a selfie shot.

I don't have a Reddit account. It's hard to navigate today's Reddit niche subs without one. Also, I don't care enough to somehow circumvent this problem, nevertheless, I think you're right and niche subs out of the mainstream are probably doing fine.

Therefore the balls, it figures. Some other comment includes a song by Primus vocalist from three years ago, unashamedly titled "Zelensky, the man with the iron balls". And yeah, this trend of talking about his balls, I remember it started several years ago, but it amazes me right now, after years of war and loss.

(Implied: the US should let Russia invade and annex them)

This type of double standard attitude..
You didn't say this of NATO invading Yugoslavia did you?
Or for that matter Iraq, Afghanistan or Lybia.
Why not?

And the difference here is is that Russia isn't even demanding a full-on regime change for a minority of people unlike the US/NATO.
Russia just wanted the parts where a majority of people wants an out, to be able to step out, negotiations where Ukraine steps down on it's aggression against Russian minorities and promises not to use their country for nuclear missiles aimed at Russia in areas where Russian minorities live.
They're not accusing Ukraine of having weapons of mass destruction without proof.

“Russia and the US have some details in common if you blur your eyes so they are morally and politically identical”

Yes, the US with it's current concentration camps, legalized slavery in prisons, demanding peace prizes for conducting war against Venezuela among many many countries it invaded, tech oligarchs getting front seats and openly bragging about their political influence, openly bragging about supporting a genocide and calling anyone who protest that genocide peacefully terrorists, with a history of starting out with slave owners on stolen land, "demanding to be free", which meant not having to pay taxes for tea, then continue with hundreds of genocides and having a civil war over the discussion whether or not slavery was bad, is indeed nowhere near similar to a country that decided to dethrone their monarchs, install socialism, was a thriving success, but with fossil fuels still determining winners and losers in the 19th and 20th century it got corrupt, is now capitalist but slowly moving back leftwards with eyes more and more looking to the socialist China as not only has the fossil fuel world going through massive changes that benefited China, Russia and the Middle East more than the US, but the energy production as a whole is going through a revolution not seen since the industrial revolution that's pulling every country on the planet on a much more balanced scale.
