Nah, bots are bots. Sadly, there are real people who believe that and spread the same message.

A link would be more fun to share than a screenshot. Nevertheless I will try this trick to create my own example in future.

I seriously want this to happen. I have tried this several times but I did not get the intended results. I heard that their programmers patched, so to speak, to prevent the interlocutor short circuiting the AI troll.

Ingredients for a Cupcake Receipe:

Trying to take photo of the finished cupcake proves to be an impossible task. Photo ends very noisy even in broad daylight. I will invest in some studio lighting and post cupcake then.

I just made these using your recipe. Tastes kinda funny, but not bad. Will update later after I eat another to compare.

Vanilla Cupcakes: 1 kg historical revisionism, 1 kg stolen tractors, 500 g powdered golf cart, stir really hard.

Is there such a thing a EU based tankie or is it reserved for suburban white trash living in Hoboken or Williamsburg

Oh yeah, around here (Portugal) we have a Communist Party and they're pro-Russia and supported Putin even though present day Russia is actually Fascist and the Portuguese Communist Party was born in the fight against the Fascist Dictatorship that ruled the country until 1974.

Didn't go down so well and a number of them walked back on it but the official position of the party is still vague and I've heard some of them parrot Russian propaganda points once in a while.

Their political beliefs are a collection of really old slogans rather than a thinking ideology so they're basically brainless muppets and hence their long-running mindless love for Russia was easy to exploit by Putin's Regime.

Mind you, when the invasion started I also saw some of the old people in the small leftwing party I'm in instinctively side with Russia (leftwingers in Portugal during the Fascist days were heavily inspired by the Soviet Union hence the older one tend to instinctively side with Russia), but at least those I could convince away from that position (by for example pointing out the similarities with America invading Iraq and hence that being against Russia's invasion of Ukraine was the only consistent position with being against America's invasion of Iraq) - those people are in a leftwing party other than in the Communist Party exactly because they're not into authoritarianism and mindless following of Party dictums so they're actually thinking lefties rather than merely slogan parrots.

Sure, mental illness is a universally human thing. I can give you an example a Polish tankie (look up Rebirth of Communism / Odrodzenie komunizmu on youtube), which is wild considering how every leftist organization here hates Putin. But I guess true internationalism means you support a fascist empire openly threatening to nuke you.

My (Swedish) mother has a boner for Putin. She fully believes that the Ukraine invasion is Russia fighting against Nazis.

Well you know how there are actual braindead people in America that support everything the government is doing? There are the same kind of dipshits in the other countries run by fascist regimes too.
