The full document entitled “Guerilla media campaign on the United States” seized by the FBI from Russian government sources, is available here: https://www.justice.gov/d9/2024-09/exhibits_9a_and_9b.pdf

If you’ve been noticing more and more ableist content online like I have, this could explain it.

If only I could figure out who "US Political Party A" and "US Political Party B" are, then we could really get to the bottom of this.

I don’t know if you’re joking. But party A is GOP and party B is Dems.

It was sarcasm, but don't call them Shirley.

I've decided to transition, call me Shirley.

I dont think that's what a tankie would say. As far as I saw, they are not on board with Russia's conservative agenda.

You can see it in another comment made by another ML user on this post.

And don't forget: something can be propaganda while still being true!

Edit: clarification

Fascism and bigotry in general has always been a tool used by the ruling classes for internal and external warfare. They keep it around for a reason. This is not so suprising

Depressing. Not shocking though

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

All is not lost friend. Believe it or not there are people in the US who care about this shit and are actively fighting it (and by extension, you)

When things seem to be at their darkest, look for the candles lit by your fellow man and help them to light more.

It’s always darkest before dawn.

Hey, thank you. Really needed to hear this today.

We've known certain personalities have been russian shills for a while. What's new is that we now know they're PAID russian shills.

Though, if Tim pool is to be believed, they didn't influence his content at all. That means he would suck putin's cock for free which is worse.

True. I guess it's a bit heartening to have concrete and widely known proof that the huge uptick in shitty attitudes toward certain groups has not been completely organic? Some people might think a bit more critically, maybe, with luck? These people are doing a bit for likes and money, they should be way more embarrassed than they are.
