An American is taking care of the Russian community and defending it from CIA propaganda, that's so anti-imperialist. I'm sure Russians are thankful 🙏
Is the "big D" actually an American? I haven't really tried to look up any history on the dude.
Yes. He mentioned it in his reddit comments, but even if you don't go out looking for it, there are various indicators - language (exclusively English), the fact lemmy.ml is registered from a US address, the fact that all of his discourse is heavily US-centric.
Frankly, only an American can be this obsessed with CIA.

The first paragraph seemed very subjective. The last sentence sold me.
However, I dug a little bit into Kremlin propaganda about CIA propaganda, and whooo boy! It starts to get interesting really quick: https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP90-00965R000402720002-8.pdf
(That link could be CIA propaganda about Kremlin propaganda that's about CIA propaganda..... How deep does this go? Every time "propaganda" is discovered, they just add another layer, it seems.)
seemed very subjective
Him literally saying it is subjective? Operating from a US address is subjective? His language (including his natural American pronunciation that you can hear in his audiobooks) and the language of all of his sources is subjective?
And yeah, sorry chief, CIA saying that people saying bad stuff about CIA is SSSR propaganda is a bit too much even for me. I'll go ahead and say it - suggesting that a tankie, despite the actual evidence in his online activity, has simply got to be a non-American because clearly he just hates USA too much, is a very American-brained and Red-Scare-ish idea.
I've no problem with you being skeptical, but consider the actual examples:
Leaf through his other comments as well, let me know what's your impression.
He has audiobooks? For reals? OMFG.
The points you originally called out weren't really much to say he was from the US. The additional information you gave was enough to convince me though. Thanks for that!
He has audiobooks? For reals? OMFG.
He reads/records other people's books and puts it on his YT channel that's linked on his profile, it's not his own writing.
I guess I should've posted the reddit comments earlier on in the comment chain.
Whelp. I did catch a clip of is voice on the YouTubes and yeah, I do agree even more he is based in the US.
I think someone managed to figure out he was in belarus or something
