      on reddit they always cofuse it with the ukranian version of the news too, as propaganda, im sure russia knows this and isnt by accident.

      on youtube, i assume murdoch also controls the “australian sky news channel” too, which sounds like UK’s sky news.

        Yeah. This is absolutely on purpose. What’s that hard-hitting documentary about the 2014 revolution called, it’s definitely “Ukraine on Fire” right?

      The Russian propaganda seems much more effective with the right-wing people. Is that an AI thing, or are they more susceptible for other reasons?

        I know this might sound like an enlightened centrist take, but people hear what they want to hear on social media. Be it left or right.

        Social media curation algorithms are geared towards driving maximum engagement and thus, echo chambers are formed.

        Then, it is very easy to feed them propoganda via these chambers.

        They’re more susceptible. There was a study a while back that showed Republican’s amigdila(brain fear center) are larger on average. Advertising also notice they’re guillible long ago. Fox new ad space hosts cons like my pillow, reverse mortgages and trump merch because they’ll buy it.

          they fall for crypto scams, and scams in general all the time too.
