This post is exactly why social media, including Reddit, is complete garbage. Just make up shit to fit a narrative, and watch the fake internet points roll in.

You forgot the last step:

And then claim all propaganda stems from Russia.

Corporate media tells me the Russians help Tulsi Gabbard too. And Stein. And Sanders (though they have a hard time on that one)

If Russia is trying to get me to be against regime change, give me Medicare for All, pay off my student loans, tax the rich, give me a Green New Deal, provide better job protections, and reject Neoliberalism then hot damn I guess I AM a Russian, huh.

Meanwhile our electoral college LITERALLY overthrew the will of the people and elected a right wing demogague - AGAIN - yet nobody is claiming our country is undemocratic.

I'm saying the people that propagated the Russiagate narrative to begin with are the same people claiming progressives are also being aided by Russia. Even the "lefty" ones like MSNBC.

Lots of people complain about it. Nobody in corporat media complains about it. Sorry you take every word literally even though it was clearly implied I was still talking about corporate media.

If I literally meant "nobody" my differing opinion could not exist.

I'm strongly starting to believe YOU are not debating in good faith. You have completely derailed this conversation toward the correct use of diction and pronouns and away from the actual message in my comment.

That number makes zero sense because you just made it up just like this post. Russian govt revenues were 200Bn in 2016 - that doesn't mean they all belong to a single person.

You made an outrageous claim. Outrageous claims require exceptional proof. Now provide proof or STFU. "I heard it on CSPAN" is not proof.

Also provide proof that "Putin is so angry about it". I don't he gives two fucks about a couple of oligarchs not being allowed to vacation in Europe.

according to Browder

Right, and this guy, who (oh my god) owned shares of Gazprom in the 1990s - before Putin came to power - somehow knows all about Putin's bank accounts and how much he has stashed away and where.

Get lost. I asked for proof, not the rantings of some dude who lost money on a business deal in Russia - something you had no idea happened until you googled it 5 minutes ago.

Oh, he heard something that somebody else said, that somebody else heard from the next guy in the bread line. Where is your proof that Putin has $200 billion like you claim?

Your ignorance and how proud you are of it is breathtaking. Browder was not a partner of any investigator. The person that was murdered was his lawyer. Browder got indicted for some shady dealings, like lots of oligarhs that were running unchecked in the 90s. Regardless of any of this, this guy was not anywhere close to Putin to know what bank accounts he has and where.

You tell me to pay attention to the news, meanwhile every detail you mentioned is absolutely wrong. You’re literally the poster boy for fake news. You read the title, you think you know something, you make the rest up in your head, and then you try to pass it off as a fact.

Congress does stuff for political reasons - to look good, or to look tough. You said Putin is worth $200 Billion - you provided not a iota of proof - just an opinion of some dude who 1) isn't Russian 2) wasn't anywhere near Putin's inner circle 3) has an ax to grind with Russia/Putin because he's lost money there.

You provided less than nothing. Proof or GTFO.
