    I love how you can post western mainstream media sources and get no pushback, but make a post saying the exact same thing but referencing a Russian source and you immediately attract a dozen downvotes and comments about how you are a Russian propagandist.

      Well, but that’s kind of how it works.

      If you say something positive about yourself, it’s not worth anything. But if an adversary says something positive about you, it has meaning because they are not incentivized to say the thing.
