    Sooo, your view is that Dessalines, Davel, Yoghtos and other Marxist-Leninist nuts are all just non-Russians accidentally perpetuating Russian propaganda which actually isn’t even provably Russian propaganda?

    My guy, Yogthos has said many times that he grew up in Russia. What’s to be gained by pretending to be someone other than one’s self for years on social media?

    Get a grip on yourself.

      Oh more “fake news fake news, Russian would never do organised disinformation and the fact that those accounts align 100% with Russian propaganda doesn’t mean anything!”

      Oh man what did Vicky with three kisses gain from pretending to be on the side of the Axis?

      I mean, weren’t you the guy saying we should be actually careful about propaganda? But now you’re gonna pretend that organised Russian propaganda on sites literally built by them don’t have any at all, and even if there is why would any account spreading Russian propaganda want to pretend that they’re actually American?

      Oh such a mystery, don’t you think? Just can’t grasp my head around the motivations here… Soooooo haaard.

      And ofc

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_disinformation

      What you do t realise is that by denying literally every criticism of purposeful Russian disinfo, you’re literally aligning 100% with Russian propaganda.

      Russia denies that it uses disinformation to influence public opinion.

      Despite there being more than enough evidence for concrete proof of it.

      So, there’s absolutely 0% chance that Davel, Desssalines, Yogthos and other have anything to do with Russian web brigades?

      0% chance? So then, those are all your accounts, and you know that for certain? Which would mean sort of admitting to the opposite, because if you’re a Ruski with several accounts all spreading Russian propaganda, it’s kind of hard to argue there’s literally 0% chance it’s going on, isn’t it?

      That’s like being in the lift with someone else, just one other person, hearing a loud wet fart. You know it wasn’t you, but then you look at the other guy and while the stink keeps growing and brown goo comes out of his trouser legs, he’ll still argue “it wasn’t me”.

      This is why I find this so entertaining :D
