I feel like you want to have this argument with someone and, sure, go for it, but I feel like you're painting OP as the average /r/worldnews poster, and that's a very rude thing to do. For all I know they might agree with you but the hostility isn't helping.

Sorry if this is a little forward or "tone policing", it just bugged me.

What in OP's comment did not seem like reddit r/worldnews level to you? And no, I don't expect to get a reply nor a discussion with OP, it just appears to me that the top comments are usually simple one-liners, so I thought I elaborate this time on an alternative view and mock their (possible) world view that they put out as some common fact

For starters, they recognized russian people also as exploited victims of the ruling class. Instead of the usual comparing them to orcs or whatever.

I don't think it's productive to argue with a version of someone you came up with. There's a way to make a point about US foreign policy and capital's role in the war without mocking people.
