      I’m not going to name any names and I don’t wanna start drama but there’s a minority of posters in the news thread that will act all sarcastic and rude if you say anything anti russia (like for example if you imply Pravda ru or RT are bad sources) and basically imply that makes you pro Ukraine which i am most certainly not lol

        The generous assumption is that they’re used to liberals online and irl saying anti-Russia things and turning out to be rabidly pro-Ukraine. But I don’t really see it. People call Putin cringe and frustrating all the time so I guess it really is a tiny minority or I’m just not online enough to pick up on it.

        And yes RT and Pravda aren’t very reliable and are as trustworthy as the Daily Mail. I tend to just scroll past any posts that source them, especially if they claim to contain some big reveal that other sources haven’t mentioned.
