If you think the FSB had good intel, that means you think they decided to ignore it and allow the terrorist attack in Moscow to happen.

I don’t think they’re that evil. But hey, maybe you’re right.

Those Ukrainian Jewish Nazi ISIS supporters! They’re the worst!

Shoddy intel which was better than what the FSB had on offer.

Shame that the FSB doesn’t have better intel on what’s happening in Russia than the CIA.

Perhaps they were too busy tracking the gays after Russia recently labelled the LGBT+ movement terrorists. Perhaps they were tired after ensuring Putin won a sufficient margin against the communists. Or maybe some kid posted a meme on tiktok and they got distracted.

You misunderstand how Russian propaganda works.

It’s this:

The firehose of falsehood is a propaganda technique in which a large number of messages are broadcast rapidly, repetitively, and continuously over multiple channels (such as news and social media) without regard for truth or consistency. An outgrowth of Soviet propaganda techniques, the firehose of falsehood is a contemporary model for Russian propaganda under Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The Jewish Nazis in Ukraine funded ISIS! The CIA funded the ISIS attack! The CIA didn’t warn us! The CIA didn’t warn us in time! This was done by ISIS! This was done by Ukraine! The attackers were fleeing to Ukraine! They were fleeing to Belarus but we stopped them! We are war with NATO! We are not at war with NATO. If NATO gives Ukraine F16s Russia will be at war with NATO. If NATO gives Ukraine F16s, Russia will shoot them down, but not be at war with NATO!

Etc. etc. etc.

Never attribute to malice, that which can easily be explained by incompetence.

It’s disgusting. Goes to show they don’t actually care about Palestinians and probably don’t even think this is a genocide.

I mean, if they genuinely cared or thought this was a genocide, why are they now defending China and Russia blocking an immediate ceasefire that would at least temporarily stop Palestinian suffering?

How entirely predictable that the same kind of people who make excuses for Russia’s role in the genocide in Darfur, Russia’s role in Syria, Russian war crimes in Ukraine, and China’s treatment of the Uyghurs, care more about scoring points against the US than ending the war in Gaza.

To force the population to believe the lie. Out of fear or because they have been brain-washed. A test of loyalty.

Ask them the pin code or credit card number.

When they refuse to give it, reply “So you do have something to hide.”

I actually enjoy that sentence, because you can ask them for the pin code of their bank card.

Sorry to reply to an older comment, but you are correct. Feeling alienated from (capitalist) society or the fake mediatised and commericalised reality we’re often fed is indeed different to derealization.

I’ve experienced the latter, and it’s more like an out of body experience. Like you’re floating a few centimeters above your body, or like you’re watching yourself in a movie. Like you’re experiencing something that feels like very vivid deja vu or like you’re in a dream. Which can of course lead you to make very bad decisions.

It’s a product of this warped system of capitalism. Unite over it. Don’t pin it to your lapel.

I sometimes wonder if it isn’t sometimes a deliberate attempt to individualise societal problems. Pretend the syptoms are the problem, rather than adress the cause: a sick and profoundly unfair society that is in seemingly terminal decline. You’re sad about climate change? It’s your fault for not taking anti-depressants. You’re angry about industrial pollution? You didn’t put the yogurt pot in the wrong bin, it’s your fault.

Interesting reading the mod log and seeing what got your comment removed and you banned.

Do you know why NATO annexed Sweden?
