As the Russians maintain a network of vatnik posters and bots pushing FUD and whataboutism, I assume that posters on online fora, especially early posters, are just that.
- 4gotunameagain 4y agoDo you think that in places like hackernews there is more Russian propaganda than US propaganda ? I did not claim that the US did it. I said that we will never know. Because of the sad state of current affairs where we are flooded by propaganda and disinformation. And needless to deny that I am not paid to post here, I can hate on imperialism from both sides all day for free.

- _kbh_ 4y ago> Do you think that in places like hackernews there is more Russian propaganda than US propaganda ? Recently yes, you'd have to blind to not see the huge uptick in pro Russian posters on here lately. > I said that we will never know This is sadly true, we will never know what actually happens.
