To be fair, everyoneâs views are shaped by propaganda of some kind, itâs quite literally unavoidable if you exist within any society. Lots of people like to think that their ideas are just the product of their own independent thinking, but that isnât really how people work.
Youâre not wrong. I like to think Iâm immune to proponganda because Iâm anarchist but itâs pretty obvious that I can be fooled just as easily as anyone by the pretense of speaking truth to power

The key is to be constantly aware of it. Never follow someone blindly.

whipping out my Horseshoe Theory graph
So, as you can see, the tips of the horseshoe are where the Russian Propaganda lives.
Hey horseshoe theory, wanna⊠touch tips?

Yeah, letâs just ignore the right-wing think tanks, the majority of conservative/MAGA influencers who arenât on Russiaâs payroll, and right-wing ânewsâ organizations. Itâs totally just Russia and not right-wingers trying to destroy the country to grab all the power for themselvesâŠ
If you look into it an amazing amount of them are further funded by Russia. Not solely but enough to make them bigger than theyâd be otherwise.

I prefer the Pac-Man interpretation

You seem to know more than me based on your response. You are claiming an amazing amount are funded by Russia, are there any decently recent sources which support your claim that you can direct me to? Do these people also take money from US-based right-wing organizations?

I personally like to listen to both sides of the story so that I can absorb 2x the disinformation
They cancel each other out if youâre lucky

It depends on the phase. Sometimes you get constructive interference and they add up instead.

The current state American society has been in for the last 10 to 15 years is heavily a consequence of Russian info ops. Many countries run info ops. But no country has done as much damage as Russia

This is true. Also there are zero mainstream media outlets that are not propaganda of some kind or another at this point. When you intentionally read all kinds of biased news it becomes more and more obvious.

Yeah, no. American Oligarchs did social media. Youtube, Twitter, facebook, instagram all American. First they did it for money now they are doing it openly for power. Cambridge Analytica, anti-vax, anti-trans, anti-abortion, anti-immigrant all of these are made by Americans to poison the world. And they are going to do much worse with AI. Americans destroyed the world.

My then history teacher said everyone is affected by propaganda, even trained and studied individuals like him. To think you are immune to influence from other people is very naive.

Russia and China have been manipulating discourse in the US since 2016; and American media is happy to let them.

Yeah, I donât think they need to be on Russiaâs payroll anymore. Theyâre in deep.
