Again, this is 2022. And again is exclusively looking at hash tags on Twitter. Here's the actual source https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-19097-1_3

What genuine conclusions can we reach here? That Ukraine is heavily appealing to the west for support? That's a widely known fact.

Does this activity validate Russia's position, and can we assume they aren't engaged in propaganda on VK or other social networks more popular in their country? No!

It's also widely known that Russia's challenge is convincing their country to send their sons to war. That's going to put a massively different spin on the nature of the propaganda and where it can be found.

Even if I concede your bot ratio argument. The bottom line here is that I'm staggered by the opinions so easily found here, and I'm doing what I can to test various theories I have to understand what's actually going on. So far I've been shown nothing genuinely surprising or new, except for the wild interpretations of much more sober facts.

it means you are being manipulated, what you believe is the 'mainstream opinion' on Ukraine is warped by legions of CIA and Nazi controlled bots. Bots that you didn't even notice existed until pointed out to you with hard facts, despite them being 9 times more prevalent in shaping your worldview than any 'russian bot' which has no influence on you whatsoever. I'm asking you to look inward and look at all the propaganda you've swallowed and gain some recognition of how biased you are.

Liberals always call anti-imperialists 'brain-washed' or 'bots' or 'swallowed the propaganda' but the irony is they swallow ten times more without question, not even realizing they are propagandized. The best propaganda is invisible, the one being manipulated doesn't even realize it is happening. It is the western Liberal world that is the most brainwashed, disconnected from reality and completely controlled by their media and government.

Yeah, OK buddy. You can tell yourself that, but you have no idea what I know. So I'll hang on my western liberalism just now. Ta.

I know exactly what you know because it's the default load out for Liberals, you've downloaded the Liberalism 1.0 infopack from western media and reddit and believe the most basic ass, default ideology. I know it inside and out and all the ways it is wrong and lies.

Here's some truth nukes for you that completely dismantle your entire worldview:

NATO is an offensive imperialist alliance originally staffed almost entirely by actual ex-Nazi officers. This is a fascist, imperialist alliance that absorbed Nazism and promoted it in South Korea and Japan as well, placing Axis collaborators into power over the victims of WW2. They created a genocide in Indonesia which killed over a million innocent people, slaughtered by fascists placed by the US. Your government has spent the last 60 years spreading fascism internationally and overthrowing over 50 democratically installed governments. Ukraine in 2014 is one such example, where pro-Nazis, the children of collaborators who uphold the holocaust, were installed into power. You didn't know any of this, you don't accept its implications. You keep thinking you are the "good guys" or at least "just as bad as the other side". It's not true, you are in the fascist axis. Everything your nation touches turns into fascist shit because you are fascist shit underneath the money and ideology that cushions it and hides it. The best thing you could do for the world is to turn inward and never once get involved in anything international ever again, because everything your nation touches turns fascist.

Israeli genocide is done in complete complicity with the western Liberal world. If you are a proud western Liberal, you are a proud Israeli genocide apologist. Israel is pure distillation of the "judeo-christian democratic values" that you uphold.

You really are a twisted one. Good luck out there buddy. You're going to need it.

one day you might evolve and escape your default Liberalism and gain a real consciousness

I'm trying to work out if you're a Russian activist or if you're a chronically online kid who stays up far too late and whose mind is so pickled by the articles written by those of the calibre of flat earthers that he's completely lost balance and proportionality.

That's not to say there may be a few nuggets of truth in what you're saying, simply that you've taken these data points and you've joined them up so as to produce a picture that is unrecognisable. And for what? What's your aim?

The difference between you and I is that I'm not the one trying to drop 'truth bombs'. I'm not angry. I'm not insisting that everything I believe is true. This is how I can tell you're young. You believe you know a lot, but you have no wisdom.

If you're not a Russian activist in Russia or a country whose policy it is to support Russia, then I genuinely wish you luck. Having not only the opinions you have with your mindset and apparent need to control other people is going to get you into a lot of trouble. If you are in Russia or a country who supports Russia then I can understand why you talk the way you do. You'd be under the influence of a completely different set of propaganda.
