    Naturally, the common people don’t want war. . . but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.

    Fucking bootlicker.

      How am I a “bootlicker” because I acknowledged Russian propaganda?

      I’m not from the USA. Russia is absolutely trying to create problems in the USA though, and the rest of the west:

      You’re the fucking bootlicker for denying it. Lick those Russian boots. Tell me how the sunflowers taste.

        I never denied that Russia has propaganda. I do deny your assumption that anyone who isn’t slobbering over US boots must automatically be licking Russian boots, that anyone who doesn’t do like you do and fall in lockstep behind hating whoever the people in power tell us to hate must be a traitor or spy.

        Keep denouncing anyone who’s antiwar for their lack of patriotism, you’re making Goering proud.

          You just posted a quote from Goering in response to me suggesting that a post that decries both parties for “Hostility to Russia, Iran and China” is probably Russian propaganda.

          You sir, are the bootlicker.

            Yes, because you’re claiming that anyone who doesn’t fall in line with your Orwellian “five minutes hate” is a traitor. That’s the definition of bootlicking.

              No, I’m not. I just said that this post was likely Russian propaganda. That’s it.

              Maybe you should engage in some critical reflection instead of repeating whatever imperialist genocidal powers tell you to think.

                Because the post criticized the fact that American citizens get zero say over foreign policy, you assumed it was “likely Russian propaganda.”

                Maybe you should engage in some critical reflection instead of repeating whatever imperialist genocidal powers tell you to think.

                I do, you should try it yourself sometime, bootlicker.

            This from the person basically spouting the modem version of the Judeo-Bolshivik conspiracy theory
