The building blocks of propaganda is focus, not lies

Very much this. Russia's version of Alex Jones will say some wild bullshit about annexing Alaska or whatever and the next day the headlines will be "Putin's top advisor says invasion of Alaska imminent"

Just told my 10yo daughter about #Prigozhin. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Wagkanda forever" -- which is the sort of pop culture cross-over that I can celebrate.

It was nice to be reminded of the good times I guess, when he was yelling "SHOIGUUUUUUUUU"

Channel 4 in the UK gave the predictable rundown on how Prigozhin's death will help Ukraine win the war blah blah blah but then had a slideshow of pictures and videos of him over the end credits of the news like he was a beloved celeb who just died, it was super weird lmao

You have to wonder whether the Russians just pulled out there and then shelled/droned the Ukrainian troops that moved in, as they've been doing quite a bit, and they just didn't report that bit.

Replace the Statue of Liberty with one of Trump holding up a pork chop

Part of me wonders whether some patsoc types are getting Thiel money on the down low to muddy the waters a bit about anti-imperialism by connecting it to chuddery to put off libs/radlibs while being aesthetically socialist enough to put off regular chuds (just look at the time "MAGA Communists" tried to convert a bunch of chuds and were all just called commie cucks) but I don't know if I'm being too TrueAnon brained, haha - That said even the fucking Red Scare podcast was getting Thiel money who knows.

Either way the hilarious thing about Jackson Hinkle is how a few years ago he was a super basic Bernie guy so if you find his old tweets he's like "OMG! AOC is freaking amazeballs #gritty" which he may want to delete given that he's apparently a "badass redpilled" NazBol now or whatever.

I wonder how many of them would be so gung ho if the draft was happening in their countries.

I wonder if that'll end up getting edited from an IP address in Virginia in like 2 hours...

Fair play to the cold hearted, reality manufacturing oppression of the western propaganda machine though, they got my ass, I figured Wagner were probably involved somehow. I guess I've been listening to too many Warren Zevon songs about mercenaries lmao
