      This was about 20 years ago btw. I know it’s gotten worse. But it started earlier than most think.

        Yeah, BBC has a whole documentary about it. Plus the russian state department basically published it all in a propaganda manual. They don’t exactly try to hide this stuff…

          And we’ve caught them doing it. Again, and again, and again. Also they are waging a literal war against Europe and treat their own population basically the same as they do their enemies.

          So there’s that hard physical evidence and proof…

            Yeah but thank god for the aNtI-wEsT tankies who so enthusiastically push kremlin-sponsored talking points night and day to liberate us from our… democratically-elected oppressors, or something?

            /s, of course

            I mean I get it, the west isn’t perfect. But compared to russia, most western countries don’t seem so bad.

            And we’d be much better off by now if they would stop meddling in our elections (i.e. by funding reactionaries and running manipulative social media campaigns) and keep their filthy psyops out of our zeitgeist
