This thread is where all the takes from idiots (looking at you Armchair Warlord) and screenshots of twitter posts/youtube thumbnails go.
someone at RT is having second thoughts maybe perhaps
They’re just going to blame it on the Ukrainians, and/or “the collective west” to muddy the waters
especially if it was really a bomb planted on plane, not a SAM
but would it change much? priggo’s enemies have safety in numbers
True. I’d say this disinfo angle is targeted towards apathetic/low info RU public (which is most of them frankly) and western sympathisers in denial about how ruthless the regime really is.
i’ve read an analysis where the result was that ru propaganda machine pushes many contradictory narratives for “enemy” audience (like eu countries) and single, coherent narrative for “friendly” audience (like domestic but also serbia). that single narrative doesn’t have to be true of course
Sounds about right. The internal narrative is to actually tell people what to think, the external just the “firehose of falsehood” to divide and distract.
Guys, we’re probs gonna get brigated by the Hexbear users soon, checked their voting thread for the re-federation, and a lot have been expressing their intent to “discuss” with us. Luckily I’m on Feddit, which is already defederated, so none of the logged in bears can interact with me
i haven’t seen anything of that, at any rate rest assured i ban all campists that i notice
Good to know, and considering the vote for defederation going on right now it will luckily stay that way
i don’t mind them, they seem to be chill people in general
Yep just moved over to World for that exact reason. Meanwhile on Grad is having a field day today
READY FOR ROUND 2?
add Romanov to list of suppressed critics of kremlin. there’s tatarsky, prigozhin, girkin, surovikin, rybar, anyone’s counting?

Maybe I should read biographies first before I post
