This could be from a June 4th anti-NATO march.

Are you under the impression that everyone in Finland is as pro-US as you are?

There's nothing in the post you reply to that alludes to this. I find that replying to what people write instead of what they wrote somewhere else goes a long way towards getting along with those who have a sensible question amongst a torrent of statements I personally disagree with.

I find it rather sensible to question where a picture comes from and what it's source is, when it's presented without any accompanying info beyond "Anti-NATO march today". Hopefully this will encourage posters to provide more context to their posts, and we can avoid that the commenters have to speculate if the title is wrong and it's actually a demonstration from months ago...

If you look at the comment history from OP it's pretty clear where they stand.

Where they stand on other comments? To put it in the most aggresive light- you were called out for inaccurate information. Even so, you must've recognized the original post was factually incorrect because you changed the post title. Why not just own it. It goes like this, 'Oops, copied the title with the photo. I fixed it.' No big deal. Of course, making a mistake, quietly trying to fix it, then pretending the person pointing it out is in the wrong is another way to go.

I updated the title since I couldn't find collaborating information. I can't verify it. However, that doesn't change the fact that OP has a very clear agenda.

You posted something you didn't verify then attacked/dismissed the person who pointed it out because of your bias coming in. Does that mean that they don't also have an agenda? No. Does it help me to trust anything you post? Also no.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago

Sure, we all have our biases. I've had lots of negative interactions with the person in question, and I don't take anything they say to be in good faith. It is what it is.

And you have a problem with them because of their agenda that they are calling out that you are posting stuff without any source / proof?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

No, I have a problem with them constantly spamming NATO propaganda. Literally the only thing this account does.

You can click on a user profile to view their history. Just because you're ignorant of their posting history doesn't mean anyone else is.

I find you calling me ignorant, because I have principles, as made in bad faith to belittle my views. That's not OK.
