a good example of russian propaganda gish gallop can be seen around their war on Ukraine (including how they manufactured consent for it):
- we invaded to de-nazify Ukraine
- we invaded because it was our land first
- we invaded because Zelenskyy is a nazi
- we invaded because NATO was threatening us
- we've never threatened NATO or other countries
- we will threaten NATO and other countries
- we never invaded at all, Ukraine attacked us first
- we invaded because we want to be a great empire again
- we invaded because Ukraine bombed Donbas after last time we invaded
- we invaded because Ukraine weapons biolabs
- okay they were just regular biolabs but they worked with Americans
- we invaded Ukraine because we are russia and we take what we want
- we invaded Ukraine because they didn't abide by the ceasefire established after we invaded Ukraine last time
- we invaded Ukraine to save the people there
- we invaded Ukraine and we will kill all the people there
etc etc etc
- pknerd 4y agoSomething similar we witnessed when the USA invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. It seems Russians copy Americans
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoturns out the russians can do it just as well, if not better (see above for examples, most of which the US never said w/r/t Iraq or Afghanistan, making it uniquely russian gish gallop) reminds me of russian propaganda from earlier years, too, when they invaded Ukraine earlier, when they genocided millions in Ukraine, etc. it seems russia needs no bad role models, based on their own behavior
- pknerd 4y ago> when they invaded Ukraine earlier, when they genocided millions in Ukraine, etc. May I label it as Western propaganda similar to what we witnessed about Saddam?
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agoabove is precisely the propaganda I spoke of, when I brought up russia's genocide of millions of Ukrainians the claim that the Holodomor, in which russia genocided millions of Ukrainians, is "western propaganda", is a common sight in russian propaganda gish gallop (and Holocaust-denial-adjacent too), thanks for demonstrating a common next item in the gish gallop is that, okay, yeah, it did happen, but it wasn't russia for any of a number of gish galloped excuses
- pknerd 4y agoCiting almost a century old incident that might have happened but ducking when asking about the recent killings by West in Bosnia, Serbia, Syria, Yemen Iraq and Afghanistan and talking about what X might have done is "precisely the propaganda I spoke of, when I brought up West genocide of millions& of Muslims. A friendly advise: Clean your own backyard first before preaching others, till then carry on living in a bubble created by Fox, CNN, BBC etc. Cheers.
- ImPostingOnHN 4y agothank you for again demonstrating russian propaganda gish gallop of course it would be a waste of time to address the layers of nonsense due to Brandolini's law, but suffice it to say that russia, who never apologized for genociding millions of Ukrainians, repeats the same gish gallop in their propaganda to distract from their war on, and latest attempted genocide of, Ukraine
- pknerd 4y agothank you for again demonstrating Western propaganda gish gallop of course it would be a waste of time to address the layers of nonsense due to Brandolini's law, but suffice it to say that West, who never apologized for genociding millions of Muslims, repeats the same gish gallop in their propaganda to distract from their war on, and attempted genocide of, Syria and Yemen ----- I fixed it for you. Now I know you will have a knee jerk and get back. And.. I am not even a Russian but I do believe that it's time for the world to embrace the fact the existence of Russia and China and end of hegemony of US and Dollar. And I will not respond you further. Keep living in the bubble inflated by Western media.
