while the techniques were pioneered and written down by the KGB, I’m not even saying the blame lay on Russia alone. There are a lot of forces adopting this tactic, both foreign and domestic.
No, see, we are good persons, and they are bad, so when they do genocide, it’s bad, because they’re bad, but when we do it, it’s good, because we’re good!
…Y’know what, let’s try and dumb this down a bit, middle school style:
The post you’re replying to accentuates the words good and bad. Why is that?
When the post talks about actions, what adjectives are used to describe them? How does that relate to the actors doing them? What is the causal relation implied?
The action used in the post is genocide - why is that, in particular used as an example? Is the post justifying genocide? What does the example of genocide mean for the causal relation implied?
What is the opinion of the author on the sentiments expressed in the post?
Does the post take a stance on real-world political actors? Does the post even mention any? If so, does it justify them, or condemn them?
I hate the Kremlin so much. I hope the whole russia will crumble and disappear.

Wait 'til you learn about Twitter.
Genocide isn’t the answer either
Oh no, won’t anyone think of the poor Kremlin!!! They can get fucked. I want to see the Kremlin in its current form crash and burn.
What are you even talking about?
The KREMLIN and Russia as a country should be no more. Who talked about a genocide?
No, see, we are good persons, and they are bad, so when they do genocide, it’s bad, because they’re bad, but when we do it, it’s good, because we’re good!
So you support the Kremlin because other countries are bad too? Good old whataboutism.
