Just so I'm understanding correctly, being against the forceful sending of men to the frontline is 'Russian propaganda'?

What even is the point of having a discussion if anything that isn't pro-Ukraine is dismissed as russian propaganda?

You have a lot of really bad takes such that I think you're intentionally trying to misunderstand or dishonestly represent an unbalanced take.

I don't know what your motivation is but I hope you'll stop. It will be more convincing as well if it looks like you're making a fair point in earnest.

User A: forced conscription of men is authoritarian and should be critiqued.

User B: that is russian propaganda!!

What am I misunderstanding, or dishonestly representing? If you don't want to have a discussion, you don't have to participate, but those cheap takes contribute nothing to a discussion.
