re: #125 Targetpractice

Yeah, I’ve got dudebros and wingnuts alike trying to convince me that the US supported and funded neo-Nazis to take over Ukraine. A popular conspiracy theory right now is the snipers who shot protestors weeks ago were hired by either the US/West or Euromaidan as a way to set up a false-flag excuse to initiate the coup.

I lost my temper with one of those online 101st Chairborne Warriors spouting that nonsense, a dudebro; I laid into him with an absolute verbal barrage on how his conspiracist nonsense was pure bullshit, and then he tried the old moral equivalency, “Well, the US invaded Iraq” which was enough bullshit for me.

I just ended it by bluntly telling him he was an authoritarian bootlicker, a cringing lickspittle who would be all too happy to play toady for whatever tyrant suited his fancy, as long as he’d be allowed to sit at his Master’s knee and lick his hand like the dog that he was.

That shut him up.
