It's not a joint strategy, necessarily. Chinese, I suspect, are simply paid in social credits for displays of fervent nationalism. But it's certainly cheap enough to pay a room of shills to repeat your talking points of the day. Even on remote outposts like lemmy. For a country with a weak economy and military like Russia, information war is the best bang for the buck.

Imagine being a grown ass adult and believing all that. ๐Ÿ˜‚

It's simpler than that. They're paid nothing. It's of their own accord. It's kind of sad.

"social credits" Racist dehumanizing USA propaganda.

Seasame Credits. What else do you call them, race baiter?

Going for insults now, NATO bootlicker?

[โ€“] ArchimedesTesseract@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think you're just too dim to understand. You brought race randomly into this. Now you cast NATO as some power to be feared. It's a defensive pack. Russia casts it as a boogeyman to justify invading it's neighbors. That would make you a Russian bootlicker.

No, you do not need to fear NATO. Just look away from all the people they killed in Yugoslavia, Libya, Afghanistan... Nothing to see if you just stick your head in the sand.

Putin is the only one fearing NATO. After he saw what happened to Quaddafi.

Finally you admit that NATO is just a bunch of evil murderers

Do you have any evidence that they poison underwear? Because Putin does.
