Finally! Someone has to fight against US propaganda there.
Explain to me what’s so great about you supporting Russia’s propaganda in discrediting Zelenksy and Ukraines war efforts defending their own homes against warcriminals and aggressors?!
Someone has to counter the greatest propaganda machine in the world built and operated by the US to manage its global empire and many decades of bloodletting, massacres, tortures, slavery, environmental devastation, genocides, and its astronomical body count.
And yes, that same propaganda machine is the one that taught you everything you know about Zelensky and Ukraine, as they’ve been propagandizing the entire world about Ukraine since it was a part of the USSR. You are literally sitting in a century-long stream of American disinformation on the region. Which is why you think American newspapers crowing about “Russian disinformation” is worthy of anything other than ridicule and derision.
Literally nothing in the last 500 years is worse than the North Atlantic campaign of global genocide, racial capitalism, settler colonialism, environmental devastation, psychological warfare, mass murder, sexual violence, and utter subjugation of 80% of the planet. The US is the pinnacle of that subjugation and violence. Russia cannot hold a candle to the US’s global violence. No, it is impossible for Russian propaganda to be worse in any way.
There’s nothing inherently bad about propaganda. The problem with Russian propaganda is that it’s trying to justify a brutal invasion that has killed hundreds of thousands of people, among them children buried in rubble by missile strikes. The US did the same after it’s invasion of Iraq. It was wrong then and it’s wrong now.
The USA has justified all its multiple invasions, they even justified nukes! Surely you know that Japan was nuked, twice.
Well, I agree that there is lots of types of propaganda.
Even selling/ promoting yourself in a good way to get a job, is considered normal, but I’m wouldn’t label that as propaganda, tbh.
Imo, the type of Government propaganda I refer to is bad. I see this in the context of WorldWar 2, when it got a really bad name because the Nazis were so good at it. In Europe it still has a very bad reputation.
Also, technically, it been used almost everywhere at some time or in some form.
The difference between countries & Gvements being democratic or not, is how badly, how much, to what end, and how systematic they use it.
In the case of Russian propaganda there’s been tons of news articles and YT, about how is was used to sow confusion and division amongst enemy states. You can check online the playbooks that have been leaked.
Ed.
The US has been using propaganda to justify its atrocities, genocides, mass murders, environmental devastations, scores of violent coups, invasions, use of chemical and nuclear weapons against civilians, torture, enslavement, human trafficking, war profiteering, and massive body count for over a century. Far worse, for far longer, and far more deadly than anything Russia or the USSR has ever done.
You’re right that propaganda is inherently neutral. When Euro-centric news outlets complain about Russian propaganda, it’s completely and utterly without standing, as most of them are part of the US propaganda machine in big or small ways. These complaints are worthy of nothing but ridicule.
This argument is literally taken out of a" Russian propaganda for dummies’ textbook.
Also what are you even saying: because USA did some bad in the past , though Russia has been doing very bad lately, Yet because it’s not USA, Ruzzia is good? They have truly a fascist state man.
If you want to live in an illusion, enjoy, just be be mindful & respectful of the ones who have been suffering because of constant Russian shelling, killings and bombs. This isn’t about USA, but you want to make it about them. Talking about being obsessed or something.
