Why censor truth when you can flood the comm channels with tons of misleading, fabricated, utterly bonkers conspiracy theory bullshit? If 99% is fake news, chances are the people won’t belive that remaining 1%.
That’s why Donny et all keeps yelling “freedom of speech” at the top of their lungs in Europe’s general direction. That’s what’s at stake. If Europe imposes journalism standards on social media, it is that much harder to spin crap. Lying to get the power actually works. If Donnie gets his way, Brexit will in retrospect be a mere appetiser.
This is what Russia did in the 90s onward. No one knows what the truth is anymore and it has made it impossible to get everyone behind a unified cause such as ousting Putin.
It is not a coincidence that the same thing is happening here. Russia has long failed to compete with western democracies, especially economically, and has found success in undermining them as they have their own people. This makes them easier to control, to weaken, and ultimately, defeat.
Trump does this as well
True—Trump is obviously a Russian agent based on a wealth of evidence. At best, he is making decisions that mirror Russian goals, at worst, he’s directed.
and Putin was an american asset, his rise to power was supported by america because he promised to hunt down any remaining communists.
capitalists aren’t bound by nationalism, it’s just another tool to maintain/build their pwn personal hordes
Truth. So much of what is happening on any given day can be explained by asking the simple question,
“If the US president were Putin’s puppet, what would Putin do?”
And there it is. Regardless of the individual crises, of which there are many, the bigger picture is decreasing national force, cutting off traditional allies and setting fire to the established world order, and maximizing internal unrest. All of this benefits Putin.
