Have you ever seen Russian propaganda? It is the worst garbage you have ever seen in your life. They are simply not good at this. The USA (Hollywood) made independence day. That movie alone is much better than what Russia has ever done.
He was actually surprisingly reasonable and appreciated how TMR tried to get all the facts. Annoyingly enlightened centrist, but that's not the worst thing. I bet he and Vaush's dad would get along well.
Never let them live this down. Mockery is the greatest tool to disenfranchisement. Tim Pooltin especially. Make a fool of him. And his audience will feel foolish for association.
Yeah, useful idiots is the old Stalinist term. Honestly, I think some people have a third state, between knowing and not knowing; like some little part of their lizard brain knows just enough to tell their conscious mind not to look into it.
I remember when Sam Bankman Fried's fraud case blew up, one of the documents that came out basically said that buying political influence was a great investment because it's so cheap. If there's ever a reckoning, you've going to be really depressed by how little it costs to buy a politician.
The main problem isnt influencing the elections. The main problem is moving the overton window of all the parties and influencing politicians and the society. Russia didnt needed elections in usa to block help to Ukraine for over half a year. They are getting crazy good returns on their propaganda. Elections are a bonus. Chaos, polarization and isolationism is the goal.
It's quite interesting the insight it gives us on the sell out influencer market. We have to assume the Russians try to use their psyop money efficiently, so $100.000 a week is a ballpark figure of what it costs to buy a right wing influencer like Pool or Rubin to spew select talking points. It's pretty damn cheap. How many of those deals have they passed?
I would actually consider looking into people as far back as Rush Limbaugh if I were in charge. The way it seems, Russia has some kind of research channel that tells their propagandists what makes Americans mad, and they just keep pushing the button over and over.
If you support Ukraine being invaded, that still makes you a bad person. So many people living in both Ukraine and Russia have died because of Putin's stupid war. The bloodshed in both wars needs to stop.
@cioccioyoyo what are you talking about? There was nothing inaccurate about his reporting. You must be on the side of the folks getting paid by Russia in hopes to help trump win.
