Texas is 2.7 trillion economy.
If I look over your profile, will I see a consistent sprinkling of anti-Ukraine/NATO stuff, and vaguely anti-Democrat / pro-GOP stuff? And precisely one side interest in addition to “Texas” as a side interest, maybe a particular fandom or tech interest, but not a lot of extended participation in it besides throwing in frequent short comments corresponding to the side interests?
I haven’t looked, although I do remember something about your username vaguely corresponding to some kind of pro-Russian viewpoint in a way that was notably weird.
Are you interested in me?
I just have some vague memory that you combine talking randomly about Texas, and being pro-Russia, and pro-GOP or at least anti-Democrat, and pro-some-sort-of-communism into an amalgamation that struck me as very odd. This latest out-of-nowhere comment being an example. Am I wrong? I could be, it's just a memory of something and I could be misremembering.
Surely you must admit that "Texas is 2.7 trillion economy" is, if you think about it, kind of an odd thing to want to throw into the discussion about this winter storm.
Edit: I got curious about my theory, and in the most recent little bit of your profile is "Biden screwed the steelworkers," something about Germany "deindustrializing" which is of course an actual real-life event to some extent, but one I have only ever come across from Russian propagandists, and a defense of TikTok. And a whole bunch of random links and short comments. Oh and some links to The Epoch Times. I'm not saying you are necessarily a propagandist, because I have no idea, but there is a pattern of consistent overlap between things you post and what they tend to post.
I'm not interested in you specifically, no. I get interested when it seems possible that someone might be posting stuff for propaganda purposes, since that's a massive problem on the modern internet.
