    Good on you, but is it worth the calories to try and educated Russian trolls? Either they’re paid or they’re fanatics, and you won’t change either

      I don’t care about educating the trolls. That’s not a productive activity. I do it so other users don’t see his content and just blindly accept it since there are no counterpoints in reply. Lots of people have OP blocked, but I like to counter their wildly unhinged assertions and articles that are primarily from media outlets that are known to be more or less direct Kremlin mouthpieces (primarily for the above reason, but also because it probably annoys OP, who is a pro-Russian-authoritarian troll)
