Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Probably not the intention, but the effect will work well.

Can’t criticise someone who does the same thing as you.

I don't disagree, but it's pretty weird that Americans always try shifting the blame or motivation around rather than admitting their own questionable behavior.

US being authoritarian? "Must be related to them Russians!"

It's the same play they've run constantly for twelve years. I only named three, but there's plenty more.

"Biden crime family", Obama playing golf all the time, Biden as a sex pest.

It's always cover for what they're actually doing. And the "they" in this case happens to not be the US directly.
