Reality has a well-known Russian propaganda bias.
It seems that lately Western media has started “parroting Russian talking points.” Is it because all this Russian propaganda is so incredibly effective, or is it because truths are becoming harder and harder to suppress? This week:
- The Economist: Ukraine is now struggling to survive, not to win
- Responsible Statecraft: Why sanctions on Russia are literally backfiring: Moscow appeared ripe for Western-imposed economic pain after its invasion of Ukraine but today the country is thriving
- NYT: With Limited Options, Zelensky Seeks a Path Forward for Ukraine
- NYT: Russia’s Swift March Forward in Ukraine’s East
- NYT: As Russia Advances, U.S. Fears Ukraine Has Entered a Grim Phase
.
Western media parroted Russian talking points before 2022 as well, but somehow in February of that year they stopped 🤔

You know why I keep engaging with you? It’s because it’s like visiting a museum exhibit about Soviet propaganda. Amusing in weird sort of way. Your use of Russian propaganda is so exemplary it’s honestly rather impressive. I mean, Russian propaganda is shit rhetoric, any 16-year old with an average media literacy from my country could break down these childish lists of yours. You just rely on “if they start engaging, I can sealion endlessly”, and think people don’t understand what you’re doing.
Just like how you keep avoiding the question of if you’re pro-Russian or not. Which is again hilarious in itself, since you do keep insisting you’re a red-blooded American, but won’t go so far as to lie about not being pro-Russian, which is painfully obvious to everyone.
Are you pro-Russian? Do you wish to give Putler oral pleasure?
Take a look at the content they constantly remove in the mod logs. They can’t stand anyone that backs up their argument factually, yet does nothing but post their copypasta propaganda here for anyone ignorant enough to read it.
Seriously. Check their removals against the actual rules. Because unless Rule 1 clearly states:
Don’t post things I don’t like
The overwhelming majority of the shit they remove and ban people for- doesn’t break any rules at all.
Oh yeah I know. The first time I ever commented something to him, it took him less than two comments to start making threats with his mod status.
A very clear Russian troll. Claims to be American, but I seriously doubt it. A Putler loving American? Must have a lot of friends. :D
I seriously don’t understand why lemmy.world federates with lemmy.ml
All I did was post links to Western media sources, so I don’t see how that could be “a museum exhibit about Soviet propaganda.”
Edit to add: If you don’t want people to see links to Western media, maybe don’t @ me next time 🤷
Picked one of your random article links. Here’s a quote.
To be clear, the Kremlin’s claims that Ukraine is a hornets’ nest of fascists are false: far-right parties performed poorly in Ukraine’s last parliamentary elections, and Ukrainians reacted with alarm to the National Militia’s demonstration in Kiev. But connections between law enforcement agencies and extremists give Ukraine’s Western allies ample reason for concern. C14 and Kiev’s city government recently signed an agreement allowing C14 to establish a “municipal guard” to patrol the streets; three such militia-run guard forces are already registered in Kiev, and at least 21 operate in other cities.
