Yeah I have no idea what the password to my X account is, so I'm not logged in on my computer its probably because they give you the basic version unless you actually log in

I'm interested to know your opinion of the information I posted, what do you think?

I skimmed the ones on the specific sources because I don't personally follow any of the ones you asked about, either because I don't find them credible or compelling, or I just don't know anything about them. I read through the entire post on JB though.

It was about what I expected. At least around half of the twitter sources he links speak in a very pro-Russian tone, so I don't really feel like I learned anything new. I think I've said before that I don't find twitter posts very compelling without knowing the context of who the poster is. Thats why you see me link the same sources over and over again for the most part (its usually John Hellin or someone else from Blackbird).

Grok basically saying he is wittingly or unwittingly spreading propaganda was pretty damning

I guess my mild critique is that we've all seen our (western) media get a lot of shite wrong for decades now, so sometimes the only argument for their credibility becomes "This is a credible source because its not Russian" or "its a credible source because its credible". That is to say there probably are pro-Russian accounts that are completely credible, possibly even more credible than some of the ones I use, but I don't personally know of any and that in and of itself is pretty damning since I am open to listening to that perspective.

I still think JB is more likely just someone who has a touch of the 'tism, and probably came up during the Iraq War or Vietnam and maybe even participated in one of them, and became really jaded with US military action and NATO, than he is some paid actor or bot. I call Cypher a bot all the time but I really just think they are someone with some personal connection that is super emotional and biased... JB is probably the other (more extreme) side of that coin.

This is how you know the NAFO Trolls are upset about there not being 41 planes hit They don't like Satellite Pictures or Videos. Those are Pro Russian Sources Instead they want to continue relying on fantasy fiction "reports" from the Kyiv Independent saying they saw "secret" footage. Man the melt is glorious. Here is a Pro Ukrainian account posting a satellite photo, the NAFO trolls still won't believe this because they love to lie.

After watching his posting behavior, I'm definitely in the camp that he's part of the firehose disinformation strategy. As much as he posts, I hope he's getting paid; he's going to need some healthcare for carpal tunnel down the road.

Yeah, I mean I feel like I post too often here myself so I couldn't imagine doing it any more than I do

I had not considered the potential for him being on the spectrum, but that's an astute observation.

Yeah, sometimes if they hold a certain position (Russia will beat Ukraine, vice versa, or whatever it may be, the specific example doesn't really matter) they hyperfocus on that, arguing with anyone who disagrees, and consuming anything they can to reinforce their position.

I think that could be several posters here. Its probably me a little bit too

I would honestly be curious to see what Grok says about me

I'm going to try that when I get home.

But I guess his real mission is just to dominate the thread and shutdown input from others, and he succeeds at that...

and that behavior, and not his views, is why Chicken should ban him.

Oh look, a commie shitlib asking to silence someone.

You realize cypher and cope do the same thing. Guy was posting nonsense about potatoes in Belarus and most outrageous level of cope. The other one just posts articles without commenting on anything.

You need a reality check, not an echochamber of 3 people.

You can spin and deflect all you want, but every single person in this thread knows who and what you are, a useful idiot.

I'll gladly put my posting history up against yours any day of the week, any week of the year.

Years of posting in the same thread on the losing side. I don't know how long you've been posting here, but if it's years, you need to assess yourself too.

Lol. Is this a team game to you where you cheer from the sidelines or something? My posts about the geopolitics have been remarkably consistent.

BTW, what team do you support in football? I mean American College Football. What do you think of Timmy Chang? June Jones? Santonio Beard? Dennis Franchione?
