That’s a curt reply to a seemingly complex issue.
- piva00 4y agoPretty usual for this topic, it happens here on HN, on reddit and probably any place with discussions on the internet. It seems there's a cohort of people that actively disengage from any news about Russia during this war of aggression using the "propaganda" cop-out, if you press them on why there will be all sorts of justifications of not believing in mainstream media, etc., the usual post-truth bullshit.
- avgcorrection 4y agoTo be honest I have a similar attitude in that I don’t engage much with those kinds of news. But that also means that I can’t just blurt out (or indirectly claim) that something is a propagandistic falsehood. Because I don’t know.
- Spooky23 4y agoThere’s always astroturfers for Russia on social media. The Russians have people who sow FUD and some people are attracted to the message and carry it. Most commonly it’s whataboutism. It became more prevalent circa 2008.
