Russian influence operations expand to BlueSky

I don't trust anyone, surely everyone is lying. Both sides have a very strong interest on propagating opposite points of view. Framing Russia as the saviours of the Russian population in Crimea and Donetsk against Ukronazis is very beneficial to Russia, framing Russia as a war criminal country kidnapping children is very beneficial to NATO.

Remember Nayirah's testimony? Remember the WMDs in Iraq?

I mean for the service to block them or eliminate the troll accounts. Not for the user to do so.

[homesweethomemrl@lemmy.world]

That's the one!

Well. Sort of.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I wonder if you would have felt that way about reports of the Holocaust in the 1940s... you can't trust any of that propaganda. Everyone is lying. Maybe there is no genocide in Nazi Germany.

Also, again, if everyone is lying, they both are kidnapping children and they are not kidnapping children. Are these Schrödinger's Children?

[volodya_ilich@lemm.ee]

The Holocaust wasn't well known and widely acknowledged in the Allies at the time of WW2 for some years, it's a sad consequence of the information war between Nazis and the Allies. Soviet soldiers report being surprised and disgusted when liberating extermination and concentration camps from the Nazis.

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

I was talking about what you would have believed.

And you have not explained how, if both sides are lying about it, the children can be in a kidnapped/not kidnapped superposition.

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

Russian behaviour in Ukraine is actually very nice? Is that how you describe bombing schools and playgrounds and terrorizing cities? Invading a neighbouring is actually very nice? Kidnapping and raping, castration are all very nice? Israel genocide is true, but russia isn't better. Please look at other news sources. Get off Twitter, don't watch fox.

Cries about western propaganda while deep throating Kremlin propaganda. Good job.

[volodya_ilich@lemm.ee]

I'm not denying anything, I'm asking to be careful with such accusations

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Yet again, you said that both Russia and Ukraine were lying about the children. You still have not explained how they can be kidnapped and not kidnapped at the same time.

[humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee]

Ukraine's intention to join NATO and create a hostile state bordering Russia is what triggered this.

[humble_pete_digger@lemm.ee]

Don't have to try Squidward , it's a reality. U are genocide supporter.

Answer this question - should Palestinians have rights and not be bombed indiscriminately?

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Of course they should. That's why I spend hours every week contacting politicians to stop this genocide.

What have you done about it?

[pixellateddave@lemmy.world]

Well by that logic of age then gen X too. There's a bit more insight for you.

[humanspiral@lemmy.ca]

Russians understand Ukraine to be a necessary defensive action. Reality. And only relevance to their actions. Western propaganda meant to disinform Russians that NATO motives are purely human truth and love is desperation that cannot end well.

[volodya_ilich@lemm.ee]

OK dude if you wanna stay in the western echo chamber just talk openly about it

[flyingsquid@lemmy.world]

Accusations are not explanations.

[firemanedsrevenge@lemmy.world]

And you're still pushing Kremlin propaganda. Cool.

[landedgentry@lemmy.zip]

No. Gen X weren’t parents until the internet was more or less in every household already and they aren’t as prone to misinformation as boomers (though certainly not immune).

[t00l_shed@lemmy.world]

No, russia invading a sovereign nation started this. Nato is a defense organization.
