Why Dictators Troll YOU!

[@jamesraphael8075]

Keep these videos up!!! Never get discouraged!!!!

[@AkravHistory]

I appreciate it - not going anywhere!

[@mimil2.565]

Great video! As an Azerbaijanis im tired of being represented of a country with a bad government that does bad things I just want peace and everything being great!

[@AkravHistory]

Thank you! Hoping to see an Azerbaijan free of that despot someday

@@AkravHistory Thanks you so much:) !!

Eye opening video

[@AkravHistory]

Glad to hear that, thanks!

[@Heisenbulla]

Great video Akrav! - Something I have noticed, that I think you should make a video about, is how despite how close Armenians like to think they are with Georgians, there is a lot of anti-armenian sentiment in Georgia that goes back hundreds of years, such as Armenians being depicted as money-hungry crooks (which is ofc bullshit), and also with Georgia being closer to Azerbaijan than to Armenia. I have been absolutely shocked by the way a lot of Georgians talk about Armenians, and I think it definently warrants some coverage.

[@StaLeninosus]

I can argue. I have been to Georgia, and after aaking abiut Azerbaijanis and Turks there, they said we don't like them. I asked a lot about that situation. I didn't hear any support towards Azerbaijan. Politically? For sure neutral. Georgia buys energy from Armenia and oil from Azerbaijan. I don't think it would choose someone over another

[@AkravHistory]

It's actually something I've been following for the last couple of years. The good news is the racism seems to be fading away with the newer generation - so here's to hoping for better days with our Northern neighbors!

I remember posting on Az subreddit, they have throw away accounts that instigate arguments getting you to recat aggressively and giving their mods the justification to ban you from the subreddit or getting your account banned from reddit. I got caught by this tactic multiple times by various Az members

[@AkravHistory]

I commend you for trying to have a conversation on that subreddit 😂

Any praise for Armenia, Azeri trolls appear insulting our country, child or an Azeri troll!

[@AkravHistory]

It's almost like a reflex!

[@anmikoya22]

​@@AkravHistoryI discovered that politicians in my country hire companies from Azerbaijan to flood videos. Here they call it "Gabinete do ódio" To insult opponents and make up false stories "Fake News".

[@basedtvrk9125]

To be fair, same thing happens when it's vice versa.

[@AkravHistory]

@basedtvrk9125 I think those are genuine people calling BS on Azerbaijan's actions, of which there's no shortage to call BS on. As far as I know, Armenia doesn't have government funded trolls.

So, if you want to write a comment and not be seen a troll online: 1) no politics in @general 2) complex opinions 3) history of usage on a platform 4) be respectful and mindful (too much to ask for this one) also dont use gpt words, they stick out like a sour thumb, you should already know.

I bet GPT will get smarter with the words too. It's not an easy problem to solve.

[@AkravHistory]

[@dagreek3480]

Very bold to assume that only dictatorships do this

[@AkravHistory]

No, no. Even the papers I reference talk about the many countries that do this (I mention across 25 countries in the video). However, according to what I've found, it's nowhere near as rampant or as sophisticated as it is with autocrats. And I would add the consequences not as severe.

[@Dara-wk5ty]

the identity tip is cool and all but this happens all the time on twitter its one of the main reasons why i dont have anything written in my bio and no anime pfp sometimes ppl will just redirect to it

[@AkravHistory]

Normally I'd be against it, as the internet worked wonderfully without any checks in the earlier days. But we're in uncharted waters now, I guess. We've never had this much information coming at us every day, while at the same time the average attention span is becoming shorter.

[@leonabrahamian8950]

Hello, Akrav! I simply love your videos. They giving me more information and because of them i started to understand some things. May i ask you make Russian and Armenian subtitles. Many Armenian don't know english but these informations are really valuable. I really hope that you would make them someday.

[@AkravHistory]

Thank you so much, I'm very glad you're finding them useful. Regarding subtitles, KZbin has been teasing a feature to allow uploading different languages for the same video for a year now. So I'm hoping that's available soon and I can just dub the videos.

[@StaLeninosus]

Informative and great, as always, Mr. Akrav. Btw, I want to suggest something... if you ever somehow run out of ideas, could you make a video about Armenia in Pixel Planet Fun? It's like place in reddit, but where everything is permanent, not just 3 days. I'd love to see that! If you are interested I can tell you more details.

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks so much! I just looked it up, looks even crazier than place was, haha!

[@StaLeninosus]

@@AkravHistory It has a lot of history like the reddit one has

[@spitzrb5376]

RDK, and "Russian free legion" should take note.

This explains why pretty much all Armenian related videos are filled with azeri "patriots". It's a full time job!

[@AkravHistory]

[@murash2386]

Hello Akrav.I know my question isnt the topic of video but i think that this is quite important .If armenians are so ancient.Why there are too small amount of armenians in the world?Like there are turkomans(Azerbaijani turks)who came here probably 1000 years ago with a very small amount of people.But only in Iran and Azerbaijan there are 35-40 million Azerbaijani turks.I will be really happy if someone will answer my question bc i cant find answer anywhere

[@AkravHistory]

- Historical populations losses, such as when Armenians were en masse forcefully assimilated, displaced or killed, mainly by Turks. This can also be corroborated by genetic tests done by Turks in anatolia, that often comes back as Greek, Kurdish or Armenian origins. - Fertility rates. Turks (and Islam in general) has a much higher fertility rate than can be seen in Armenia, which is below even the 2.1 population replacement rate, meaning a naturally declining population. Hope that helps.

[@murash2386]

@@AkravHistory Historical population losses.But there was only one massive armenian genocide which took 1.5 million lives and this was only 109 years ago i dont think that this can do much clue

[@murash2386]

@@AkravHistory and also im talking about Azeri turks who has genetic similarity with persians and a lot less with armenians or kurds

[@murash2386]

​@@AkravHistoryand another one gdp rate was only created in 19th century.Which means that we cannot know if Azeri turks or Armenians were making children more.

[@AkravHistory]

@murash2386 if 1.5 million people had 3 kids for 3 generations, they would be over 20 million people today. Also bear in mind, some of them didn't die. They were forcefully converted into Islam.

[@LeoAudiVW]

Great video, as always, my only note is to mention that western countries also use these same methods to control the narrative and its a bit biased not to mention this. The USA has caused many of these uprisings (or coup's) around the world and it would be more balanced to state that so people do not just think its always Azeri's/Turks/Russians. Gaza is a perfect example...

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not sure I wanted to veer too far from trolls, and I haven't found state-sponsored trolling operations in the West, but also wouldn't surprise me so much if they do exist.

[@ziphy_6471]

Im intrigued by the video But the Ceaucescu regime bussed in "supporters" TO BUCHAREST NOT TIMISOARA TIMISOARA is the place where the mass protests begin I want to like your video. But this mistake is significant, please take it down and polish it more. Please, im sorry for my harsh comment

[@AkravHistory]

Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate you catching that. I agree that the distinction is important, but given that the majority of the video focuses on a completely different subject, I think the detail doesn’t impact the overall message. I will see if I can fix that word in the editor and I'll make sure to address it in a future corrections video.

[@3dcomrade]

@@AkravHistory it doesnt affect the message but it affects your credibility Pro Russian people and trolls will label you "stupid zapad bot" for such a mistake

[@AkravHistory]

@3dcomrade that's fine. As long as the people who wanted to learn about the trolls learned something. I appreciate your suggestion though. I edited out the audio there and will try to blur the map there as well when it's done processing.

@@AkravHistory you are correct in that China has the numbers and has made it their national push.

"is the person being toxic...".
