LOL, what clever reverse psychology Mr. Putin! We will definitely all buy that you want the guy pushing to arm your victims rather than the one who wants to give you a free pass. It's frankly shocking how bad they are at their overt manipulation. Their propaganda videos for conservative westerners are incredibly poorly done, like they have no idea what sort of cultural styles appeal to which segments of the US population.
"‘I’m very conservative and traditional’: meet Teddy Boy Greg, a famous barber living in Moscow, 100% tattooed and 100% in love with Russia."
This is probably on purpose, for the same reason that spam emails are so poorly done and have so many misspellings. They want to get the people who are not attentive to details, because they are easier to manipulate.
Chapotraphouse seems to be buying into it...

Well im somewhat new on Lemmy so i cant speak with full certainty, but given the replies i was getting to what i commented on this same news piece there... yeah, it's pretty trolltastic.
I can't remember if they're actually pro-Russia, but I chose an instance that doesn't federate with Hexbear for exactly the reason that I don't have to see their trolling. Reddit was nicer once CTH got banned and Lemmy is much better without Hexbear.
Putin used simplistic mental attack on conservatives! It was super effective!
