Dude you were an obvious troll. You got banned because you were being an obvious troll, got called out for it, and made it clear you were going to continue trolling.
I saw your other comment calling me a troll Zagorath and was disappointed. I'm quite clearly not trolling in that thread, I am expressing my viewpiont (and one that is shared by the majority of the world, as I directly addressed in that comment).
I've been aware of some of your, as I see it, immature political takes for some time on reddit. That's fine and in other contexts I've enjoyed interacting with you (we even did a bit of that here today under a submission of yours). Everyone can have their own views and their right to have those political views should be respected. But calling people whose views you don't agree with 'trolls' is highly immature. And banning them (or calling for them to be banned) for those views is much worse. Again, I was expressing my viewpoint in that thread, not trolling, and it is quite clear that I genuinely hold that viewpoint, as any review of my comment history on reddit will show.
Unironically claiming that because other countries state that Russia is in the right for their offensive war in Ukraine without critically assessing those supporting countries political manoeuvres is trolling
The reality is that Russia has majority support amongst the world's population and in countries outside Europe. That is what I was stating and it's a reality. I don't need to argue why they support Russia over NATO and the USA (although I could, and in detail).
That fact is very relevant under a submission that details how Australia is treating Russia's Embassy in Australia in a highly prejudiced and disgraceful way. Such behaviour will certainly be noticed in other countries and it will reflect very poorly on Australia. That is the basis of my original comment. It's definitely not trolling and your comment accusing me of such (and those others who do likewise) only demonstrate a lack of intellectual rigour and, I would argue, a sizeable amount of immaturity.
