He told me useful idiots were a lot better in disseminating propaganda than dedicated agents or the illegals.
I think this goes well beyond gullibility
I agree with the premise but I have zero confidence this would cause outrage. Most people are too stupid to understand the implications
Yes, and the Earth is flat because you never went to space to confirm it’s a globe. Stupid people don’t know they’re stupid, it’s only a problem for everyone around them. Get help.
This is the only comment here that recognizes the real problem instead of resorting to childish name calling
oh bless your heart, you sweet summer child
No censorship
jeez, you must be fun to be around. I’d say it’s the OP who dodged the bullet with you in their team lol
I just regained some respect for this country

Having a reasonable discussion with these people is like trying to play a game of chess with a pigeon. They’ll topple all the pieces, shit on the board and claim victory.
You must be exhausting to be around. sheesh

People in the comments attacking AfD voters as racists and rightly. However, no one wakes up one day and decide to be a racist from now on. There are reasons why these extremists gain political support and they draw it from a pool of people of which some wouldn’t even consider voting for them a few years ago. This shift reflects a social sentiment that everyone seems to be ignoring.

On a side note, OPEN AI is such an ironic name
As a Pole, this is only a small sample of what Russians are capable of
