        There is a particular type of propaganda account that likes to insert nonsense into the discourse, just to interfere with people who want to have reasonable discussions. This article has more about it – search for Peter Pomerantsev; he’s quoted in that talking about it.

        Of course I’m not saying the person you’re replying to is doing that. I for-real genuinely have no idea whether it’s that, or they’re just a person with some odd ideas about geopolitics, and anyway it would be illegal for me to make that type of speculation.

                  Illegal specifically means against the law, not just against some private space’s set of rules.
