In the past week I’ve been absolutely roasted for criticising two different countries. Normally I’d be okay with that, I can handle a mild toasting and after all debate is a good thing.
On both occasions though I was flamed for mentioning human rights issues that are established facts and have been known for many, many years. I was critical of the actions/laws of their governments and not the people, their race, religion, general political ideology or nationality.
On both occasions I was bombarded by long posts that parroted propaganda, and in the case of one country I was told (on multiple occasions) that I was ignorant, racist and even fascist for mentioning the issues I did. I’m not complaining about how I was treated, but as a reminder, I was discussing internationally-recognised human rights concerns that can be verified and based in fact.
I could just be paranoid but I’m fairly convinced the responses weren’t from patriotic citizens. I think they were paid trolls or bots, and I think their purpose was to quiet negative talking points about the countries that were mentioned.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
It must be so exciting living in the realities these dorks have created in their own heads lmao
Sorry buddy, but the fact that people disagree with you on the internet doesn’t make you the protagonist of a spy thriller
You don’t understand, everyone who disagrees with me (a true patriot liberal), is a russian/chinese bot or a paid shill super spy working to destroy my life and the country!!
These people think the US has a copyright on patriotism or something?
The US has copyright over the world to them.
