The West, and especially the US orbit, is obviously under heavy propaganda attack, but the reason it's working is that it's exploiting a deep reservoir of resentment that was already there.

And I bet liberals will focus on the former in an attempt to ignore the latter, just like they did with Trump.
- api 1y agoI can’t stand Trump and didn’t vote for him but I understand why some people did, and people like him will keep getting elected until the rest of the political world removes its head from its ass and realizes that no, they cannot just eat cake. Any politician or movement able to channel the rage that’s out there is going to win. When it comes to foreign influence we need to be asking why people are so angry that they can be swayed by some lame low effort memes and honestly kind of dumb propaganda. Russian, Chinese, and other propaganda is not even very good, but it doesn’t have to be. It just has to channel that rage. As for what’s wrong, there’s a list but I think the top item on that list is something almost disappointingly boring. I am a huge believer in the housing theory of everything: https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-housing-theory-of-everything/ https://worksinprogress.co/issue/the-housing-theory-of-every...
