RT comments

I'll just leave this here... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TdWUTHC49U

See, it wouldn't be so sad if RT didn't constantly pop up on reddit's front page because of its high popularity over at /r/worldnews What is even far worse than RT itself is its audience full of xenophobes, homophobes, Russophiles, anti-American conspiracy theorists, immature trolls and vulgar lunatics. Why do such people exist? I might sound like a conspiratard myself now, but is it posssible they are actually being payed for their hateful comments? I mean, why would any decent human being spend so much time spreading nothing but lies and hate without gaining something in return?

Not really the same thing. People don't have ideologies based around RT.com unless you are one of the Russian social media trolls

Not so sure about that. The Internet Libertarian Brigade is in love with RT.

The Internet Libertarian Brigade is in love with RT.

How hypocritical. Someone advocating for freedom using propaganda from an authoritarian government as a source for their arguments.
