Just that. Someone uploaded this photo of Zelensky allegedly taking a selfie in Kupiansk, which is supposed to be a city already taken by Russian forces. I am not really informed of the situation in Kupiansk, but this is not the issue for me.

In the Politics subreddit, where this was published, the comments are overwhelmingly pro Ukraine, which, well, checks out. But what I find kind of trollish, are the comments surrounding Zelenksy. It’s like reading the five-star comments of the Google Play Services app in the Play Store, or something. They repeatedly talk about how big and glorious are Zelensky’s balls? Praising his balls, even though, he is a smaller guy? They praise the bold actions of Zelensky calling him a European hero, imagining his heroic dialogues as in some cheap hollywood movie, etc. To me, it just feels utterly fake? I mean, AI fake.

What do you make of this, guys? Please, remember, it’s not about the conflict itself.

    Hey Ivan I’m sorry the world still hates Russia for being a failed state with failed people but no one’s falling for your bullshit

      “Failed people”, says the person living under Trump as a leader. A leader that was democratically elected no less. But it’s the Russian people who are a “failed people”, and us in the West can remain smug somehow. I’d be less chauvinistic as a western person considering the shit show the west is currently living through with actual fascists almost taking over completely. Stones and glass houses.
