So I was watching this Video on Daria
I got interested in the channel so I explored the other videos then I found this.
I got suspicious, afraid. He was someone who formerly worked at Russia Today and was someone who lived in Russia.
But some of the points lingered, like is Russia used as a sorta scapegoat for the election of Trump and to prevent self-reflection?
Then I saw how Black Lives Matter was connected to Russia. And then there was that Resetera thread which questioned if Jeremy Corbyn was a Russian mole (this is the thread Is Jeremy Corbyn a Russian puppet?). And then I saw the delegitimization of the French Yellow Vest movement by linking it to Russia.
I thought "Hmm, could Russia be used to undermine social justice movements?"
So, is there Up-playing and Hyperfocus of Russia's reach or was I duped into watching Russian Propaganda?
Of course it's obvious that Russian influence to stir mayhem is real BUT, this is a question of Focus.
mod edit: don't use info tags for that kinda thing
