    I’m slowly feasting on this awful shit but I gotta jump in and say it, these posts are the most Russian thing I’ve ever seen:

    Just to be clear, I’m not saying good words to any regime. I mean both the US sanction and the Russian invasion suck. I don’t want another country bossing over what you can do, and I don’t want another country pointing guns on your head either.

    Russia is bad, but that doesn’t mean I’m in support of bans like this without a reason. Just because you “have the reason to commit crimes” is not strong enough a reason to exclude you! How child’s bully it is!

    a bunch of these posts are literally the exact documented template that the Internet Research Agency used. so many of them degrade into weird broken English as the poster tries and fails to modify the script for the situation.

    this is fucking amazing, seriously. if you want to sharpen your instincts for what foreign state trolling looks like, these are the posts that’ll do it.

      So we’ve got into politics in software. Good lord (spaghetti one, of course)! I thought we already have problem with quality diving in IT, because of all those newcomers wanting money and laziness only.

      Sad to see we learned nothing from hundreds of years of wars and occupations. Glad someone mentioned Poland and India. Millions killed by USA joining every war to just sell weapons to both sides of conflict - will be funny too when many people stop dreaming and see this is the truth.

      Edit: of course I’m waiting for all this flagging and downvotes, because I’ve spoken badly about The Greatest Nation Ever.

      hello my fellow ordinary software developers. lazy newcomers wanting money and laziness, am I right? the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

      anyway, here are my astonishingly thin takes on imperialism and why it’s definitely never something Russia does

        Wait, is a Russian troll trying to paint USA in a bad light by mentioning… Poland? Famously a nation that suffered immensely from the USA and only benefited from its eastern Russian Friends and Liberators.

          Russia complaining that the US sells too many weapons is an awkward line when the AK platform is the universal symbol for armed conflict across the globe.

        Meanwhile, actual Pastafarians (hi!) know that the Russian Federation openly persecutes the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster for failing to help the government in its authoritarian activities, and also that we’re called to be anti-authoritarian. The Fifth Rather:

        I’d really rather you didn’t challenge the bigoted, misogynist, hateful ideas of others on an empty stomach. Eat, then go after the bastards.

        May you never run out of breadsticks, travelers.

        Wow, it took until 2024 but politics have finally arrived into software. Having politics is not at all in the spirit of the GPL. Not giving these people a privileged access to the codebase is discrimination obviously. What do you have against apolitical entities like Baikal Electronics?

        it’s also hilarious just how much the sentence structure is a shining beacon indicating sockpuppeting

        wonder how many orange posters will eat this shit up uncritically because they’re too used to their shitty filters not shoving this shit out the door
