Oops. I read the title as “menthol”, not methanol, so this article really confused me at first.
Still, I found a paper on death by menthol that was an interesting read: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4830155/ (Who knew there were hidden dangers in peppermint factories?)
It’s been around for a while. It’s the fluff and the parlor tricks that need to die. AI has never been magic and it’s still a long way off before it’s actually intelligent.
It’s a bad article anyway. It’s not wrong in the words it uses, but they purposely left out most of the political dynamics after 2014. Context and full history is important.
The Volkswagen is of actual Nazi origin, but that doesn’t seem to ruffle any feathers these days.
Now, if you really want to hear something confusing, there are Russian citizen units that actually are fully far-right, are open about it, are fighting against Russia and using Ukraine as a staging point for incursions into Russia.
There is plenty of things to complain about in that part of the world, for sure. Considering Ukraine is being invaded, we can put some political gripes on pause for a second. Ukraine needs every person it can get right now as long as they are fighting for similar enough causes. The past can be addressed soon enough but it won’t matter if there is no Ukraine left to resolve those issues.
It’s also worthy of note that this specific messaging has been amplified 10x by Russian media and I am sure plenty of half-truths have been implanted as fact in many articles and stories. Unless I missed something, there wasn’t a listed author for that article. Given that it is essentially a cherry picked blurb out of Wikipedia, makes the actual purpose of it suspect. (However, I have seen many times where author names are left off of controversial articles. It’s likely a safety thing.)
There was a story a while ago about how these pictures were staged and designed to show the muskrat in the worst ways possible. It was basically super cheap publicity.
This post is an example of how these pictures propagate and keep that goat a household name.
This is not about agreement. It’s about your history. You are posting crap from right-wing conspiracy theorists. Period.
People can do what they want and read what they want. Totally fine. By that token, if you can post this garbage, I have the same right to call you out on it.
This isn’t a one way street. You are posting your opinions, and I am posting mine, and I ain’t mad about it. I am just calling a spade a spade.
This isn’t Russophobia. This is straight up Kremlin propaganda from a group of people that are known for their misinformation campaigns.
Russians are fine. Generally good people, if I had to guess. However, all you need to do is turn on some Russian state TV to see the commonalities here. I watch more Russian media than I should, to be honest.
Specifically, the subject of nuclear weapons and the threats of Putin and his gang to nuke the world is what I am focused on. If you haven’t noticed, Russia needs the constant threat and fear of nuclear war to help advance their agenda in Ukraine.
You are assuming that I conflate Russian media with the Russian people themselves and that is just a stupid assumption.
This isn’t brigading. You posted on an instance where people don’t tolerate garbage like this.
I am sticking to what this post is about: You are spreading bullshit from bullshit sources. You amplify Kremlin propaganda and QAnon theories. (Hell, even Helga Zepp-LaRouche hasn’t hid her association with Chinese state media.)
Oh, cool! Good to see that I might be wrong on location, but that doesn’t change much. You are still doing the same shit: Spreading Russian, far-right and QAnon garbage. My theory is irrelevant, but your actions are consistent.
Like all trolls that I interact with, I always give them the option of self-awareness. If you believe you are doing what you do for good and you were corrupted by political B.S., there may be hope. If you are on a very specific path to spread misinformation, sow discord and FUD, there isn’t much we can do.
Edit: Just calling it now. You should be trying to distract the topic of the thread with insults here in a second. It usually starts at this point… It’s a very distinct commonality with the type of account you have. (Well, there is also the type that will post a copy-pasta wall of links to distract further. Troll accounts are surprisingly formula-based, so there are a couple of more options you have.)
That is actual bullshit. You are in the business of spreading as much misinformation as possible, so why should I give two fucks about your little “story” that you just made up?
You aren’t fooling anyone, bub.
Actually, if I had to wildly speculate, you are part of the .ml propaganda ring that I believe is based out of India. I have no proof of that, of course. Your M.O. is exactly the same though.
News? From Russian sympathisers? Thats not news, it’s misinformation directly from the Kremlin.
All you spew out is conspiracy theories and bullshit and are no better than a QAnon nut job. One of your last posts on .ca was about Ukrainian bioweapons, which is a direct mirror of a QAnon conspiracy.
For not believing in QAnon bullshit, you sure help spread it around.
You are just a misinformation shill. You can tell me what you believe all you want, but your actions speak much louder than your words.
