NATO wants Putin to not attack sovereign countries.

So NATO forced Putin to invade Ukraine?

I see, Putin is just doing what NATO wants without NATO forcing him.

If NATO wants war and there’s a war that Putin started, either they forced him to do it or he’s doing what they want unasked. Which is it?

Too much of a pussy to actually post on your real account, huh?

Your side needs smarter people if you want any chance of not wasting your time. You are not cutting it.

A more-interesting mechanism might be one that has some kind of trust metric.
Reddit Enhancement Suite remembered how many upvotes and downvotes you’d given a user on past posts and comments and put a total of each by their username, so there was an immediate trust metric available.
There are ways to game that, like building up bogus accounts with a reputation for the specific purpose of agenda-based posting – but if you’ve got a group using burner accounts to try to influence social media that has to at least pay for those accounts by producing past helpful and constructive content, I’d say that we’re at least starting things off on the right foot. And there are counters to such gaming attempts.
