Is anyone really surprised? of course 4chan posts are russian propaganda, this time they just got lazy.
at this point you can assume 90% of *chan posts are basically agit-prop. the actual weirdos post on reddit now
Only on /pol and /b. Most of the blue boards are still populated by autistic obsessives for their favorite hobbies.
Nah 4chan is nothing but nazis. I know because a bunch of people who have never been there keep saying so.
Most of 4chan has nothing to do with politics or propaganda. The ones that are reposted mostly all come from two boards. /b/ and /pol/. Also your reddit comment is weird cause reddit is just full of bots now.
9Gag is pretty bad with them as well. They used to push anti-vax and anti-mask disinformation with obvious bad faith arguments there during the COVID period. Then when the “special military operation” started in Ukraine they immediately switched to posting pro-Russia bullshit.
Until then I was only thinking this sort of nonsense was there as a result of the website being more open to diverse political views, for better or worse. But that sudden switch made me realize that it was actually a team of people trying to sow the seeds of disarray in any way they could for the Western world by pushing disinformation like this on websites mostly frequented by young adult males, who can be vulnerable to radicalization. To think back to it, it was obvious that they were using a bot farm to upvote their content as well. I haven’t set foot on that echo chamber or propaganda and conspiracy nonsense since then. I can only assume this sort of thing is still going on there.
It’s always been agitprop for one thing or another. Hell, I was an edgy teen over a decade ago and there was always a BBC thread and a WHITES ONLY thread running at all times, and both were interspersed about how jews wanted blacks to cuck all the white guys. Truly unhinged shit.
I mean even without that slip up the rest of the message still gives them away. Who the fuck would say that without being a vatnik shill.
Easily repairable? Lol.
Allies? Lol.
I guess it depends on what breaks. Some random valve snaps? There’s probably two or more backups.
Some random distiller happens to spontaneously explode in a random smoking accident? Probably not quite so easy to fix.
That was indeed implied, yes. Refineries are built pretty damage-resistant, because otherwise any random breakage would make them go up in flames.
Although… No promises about Russian safety systems.
You never heard of Ielgium?
