The most dangerous threat to national security turned out to be... somebody who's wrong on the internet

"I must do my duty and alter the course of civilisation because I KNOW I'M CORRECT"

The best part is it took a while for the papers he posted to properly circulate and go viral on the internet which means that the docs he posted didn't even convince the guys he was arguing with that he was right

Which of course needs this link... (Whether this is the guy, or one of the others...)

Watching a GoPro video from actual combat is a very... weird feeling

Man, I knew that series started to get weird after WaW or so, but that takes the cake.

I still don't get how they can get away with making the same game over and over again.

Meanwhile, Russian musical videos look like this. If I didn't know better, I'd assume it is satire. It is not.

...And they still claim to be the anti-fascists.

Allegedly, Russia has a program to sabotage wind farms and communication cables in the North Sea. They utilized a fleet of disguised vessels carrying underwater surveillance equipment, mapping potential targets for sabotage should a conflict escalate.

Them being fascists is not the most notable part there. We know that. The Third Reich was able to produce evil but alluring aesthetics and art which even spilled out in fiction like the Galactic Empire of Star Wars.

All Russia can do is cheap imitation that looks like a parody... when it is meant to be taken seriously.

Russia is really-really good at certain aspects of propaganda: spaming disinformation, obscuring truth, inducing hatred, spreading fear, etc

But their motivational artistic propaganda is cringe.

[Lord Shonus]

Russia is very good at exploiting Useful Idiots and sneaking their narratives into popular discourse. They're not nearly as good at direct propaganda, at least in places where people have the ability to call them on their bullshit.

[EuchreJack]

I think most of their motivational artistic propaganda is a loyalty test. Clap or die.
