Yet more proof of X IDFs.

So... who wants some propaganda?

It's not propaganda! And it's okay if it is, because the West does it too! Also it's totally fake. And you guys lynched blacks!
[/snark]

Russian propaganda really is in a league of its own, isn't it? And yet people still buy into it hook line and sinker.

Question for the Russians in the thread: Do your countrymen really not know how worthless the media is? Do they just not realize? Or is it simply that they want to believe and don't care if its true or not?

[smjjames]

The bit with the guy pretending to be a german spy is just lol. For starters, spys don't reveal themselves the way James Bond does.

Russian propogandists should go into comedy.

So who'll take a bet on war breaking out within the next three months? Let's say, one local beer.

[Descan]

... Er, local to where?

Space?

There IS that nebula made of alcohol...

Tell me more, tell me more...

God must have a really robust liver, then, since it's mostly methanol.

I'm going to steal the Belarusian insignia for my avatar.

Local to the one who loses, of course!

To answer the question, there are two kinds of people in Russia: those who buy the propaganda crap, and those who do not. They are roughly the same size, but  the side that believes the propaganda is composed primarily of un-globalized, soviet mentality having men, such as the working class, people from small towns and villages, etc., while the people who don't buy Putin's fairytales are mosty the ones who have seen or experienced the world beyond the borders of their country.

There are, of course, numerous exceptions, like some people in this very thread.

I always imagined they were shut-ins that lived in their parents basement or in small shack at the backyard they share with old and rusty tractor, with USSR banner and pictures of topless Putin hanging from the wall. It seems to fit their behaviour well.

So... Putin has his own Neckbeard fandom?

[GlyphGryph]

Seems similar to what we have in the states with the Fox news types, to be honest - except where every major station is Fox. Ugh.  Not that the other stations don't ever carry water for the administration...

If you tone down the vitriol a bit, that'd be nice.

A lot of otherwise normal people here have the Soviet mindset so deeply ingrained into them that no amount of western liberalism can cure it. I personally know a very intelligent history professor who goes out of his way to prove that Russian nations are superior to the European ones in every conversation we have on the topic, one of his main arguments being that the Europe is suffering from crippling inbreeeding because it's so small. He obviously didn't take basic genetics or geography into consideration, but he always takes stating the flaws in his statement as a personal insult.
