What I have learned: * Russia has already won the Ukraine war * Which NATO
started * A lot of people in the West think that Ukraine should surrender * Also
Ukraine was the world’s main provider of CSAM * Also Ukraine is exploited by the
West but if they can unite with Russia then their economy and everything else
will finally be alright It’s literally like a bizarro world and everyone is over
there agreeing with it. I’m genuinely confused by, who even are these people
(what is the mixture of Russian bots / Russian-aligned ordinary people /
confused Westerners / some other explanation.)
When I was watching Russiagate evolve in subreddits like r/politics back in 2015, I kept seeing Soviet defector and KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov mentioned. He gave a series of talks about Soviet information warfare with the same kind of conspiratorial angle. It allowed liberals to make sense of their republican friends being unhinged fascists and leftists criticising the democrats. Actually their friends aren’t bad people and they aren’t a bad person by association, it’s just the sneaky Asiatic mental magick hypnotising them through facebook memes. Words like disinformation let them feel cool like NAFO goobers use defense buzzwords, and you see the terminal result of that in real specimens like /u/Olivermarkusmalloy.
I remember “demoralization” being Bezmenov’s repeated word.
