They targeted marginalised groups and heavily targeted uneducated people in the developing world

Victim blaming is no good

Because they claimed one coin was the new Bitcoin and that she and her associates took billions for “crypto”

The implication in the parent comment is that “anti Russian” propaganda is warping the truth and the people have been brainwashed, the word propaganda isn’t being used to imply the issue is the opposite of “true”.

So if I write an article about say the North Korean government stealing money, or murdering, I’m using an emotional trigger word and an “out group”?

Have you ever watched Russian domestic tv, which is incidentally 100% controlled by the government? You’d find a new appreciation for emotional triggers and out groups!

Reporting negatively on the Iraq war or blackwater or Facebook isn’t “anti American propaganda”.

Just because you are anti establishment doesn’t mean you should instinctively support the Russian establishment which is incidentally many times more horrific and out of control than the people you claim are spreading “propaganda”. (I’m guessing NGOs, charities like amnesty international or anyone who reports on the war crimes and crimes against humanity of the Russian government).

Contribution in taxes are not a measure of human worth, neither should people who own property get more votes than those who don’t (people who didn’t own property used to not be able to vote in the uk)

You didn’t really read my comment and reverted to the same behaviour.

Same in Poland, uk, turkey, USA…

Most individuals in such places don’t have the power to change the entire society as a whole. You would leave too

Social media, gamed by political clickbait merchants

The alt right poisoning of discourse by repeating these strange tropes like “another Sweden” or “London is full of murder” or “France is basically Islamic”, is really curious. Because after a while these strange untrue and often deeply weird theories / ideas become common and for some people accepted reality.

They do it by cherry picking horror stories and repeat them over and over, eg “a refugee murdered a woman in sweden” over and over and over. Or “knife crime” in London, usually implying the knife murdered is black or brown. Of course in reality sweden is very safe, advanced, high living standard country. London has a murder rate per 100,000 that would make it statistically the safest large city in America and significantly safer than supposedly “low crime” cities like San Diego which have a murder rate much higher than London. The entire uk police forces have only shot dead 50 people approx, since 1980! American police shoot dead several thousand per year, plus 10k pets and dogs. But many Americans for example now believe that “London is over run with 3rd world refugees and therefore crime and murder”. Build the wall!

It’s curious how it sticks so well.

It says that there are 3m foreigners living in Japan tho, not insignificant?
