      You wouldn’t believe that this was one of the narratives for justifying the invasion to Ukraine in early 2022. Russian social media was full of narratives basically saying that Ukrainians are no longer able to scam common Russians, because the so-called “scam centers” were hit by missiles.

      It’s 2k26 and the same warmongering narrative is everywhere in the west social media. Y’all think you are invincible to propaganda, yet you’re falling to it in the same way.

        I hate the US and Russia equally, i dont have a side in this. That being said, what are you actually saying here? I dont think anyone is saying we should invade Russia.

          Nobody was talking about invading Ukraine before 2010, even in 2014 the idea about invasion was marginal: Crimea was something that wasn’t generally perceived as a part of Ukraine (bc reasons, don’t dive into it), while Donbass was washed as a separatist movement.

          But there was also a significant piece of propaganda that demonized the new Ukrainian government, its people, and the whole premise of Ukraine’s existence. This propaganda was not a deliberate preparation for invasion, but a move that put the invasion card on Putin’s table as an option.

          The very same is happening in the western media with the same methods used, like one discussed before. To have this option just in case they need to engage in a war with Russia.

          I hate the US and Russia equally

          As a Russian myself, I don’t. They are not equal at all: Russia is an established authoritarian state with imperialistic ambitions, while the US is a fully fledged imperialist with authoritarian ambitions. They both deserve hate, but for different aspects

            Congratulations, you’re now the first user I’ve removed a tag from. For some reason, I must’ve thought you were shilling for russia a few months ago, but this comment proves I had you tagged wrong.

            I don’t think you honestly care, but if I had a biscuit to give you, I would give you a biscuit.

                Hey, we all make mistakes sometimes. It takes integrity and strength to admit when we have and then correct course.

                I’d say at least 80% of people on the internet are more likely to dig their heels in and double down on the bit…

      This is terrible advice. They can and will track you down. Only way this might be viable is if everyone turns off their transmissions and the transmitter changes location constantly or is deployed via drone sporadically.

        Is there a solution to this whole government censorship problem? I don’t know networking, but it seems like the centralized systems get the central nodes shut down and the decentralized systems are too easily tracked and/or too inefficient. Reticulum looked interesting, but it was still pretty traceable, and appears to only really be for messaging apps since you have to know where you’re sending to already. Your motion idea has some merit to it, but I was kinda hoping for something more on the software side.

          Revolt and actually man-up to meet the gall of the Luigi memes we post every day.
