Wanna go down the hole of how many prominent right wing figures in US politics RN used to be on Talent Hunter? Follow the money and the Kompromat. Although in all seriousness, I have no idea what the link is. But also, WTF. |  |

As an aside, I was convinced for a long time that Katie Hopkins was one of those. |  |

I do recall seeing that Candace Owens used to be left wing then just suddenly flipped to what she is now. I don't actually think there is any real conspiracy about this, that she's an actor or anything. I think she just realised there is a lot of money to be made if you're one of these American right-wing political commentators. I don't think they really believe what they're writing, maybe I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get. Stuff like this It doesn't even mean anything. I couldn't tell you what point they're trying to make. |  |

Yeah, I think that's more the point here. Pure grift. On the same general subject, this from Monbiot is very clear eyed: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/mar/02/russian-propaganda-anti-im Although the likes of Pilger and Fisk (obv dead now) don't seem to be in it for the money, just learned anti-Westernism. |  |

There's a lesson to be learnt in that headline alone. I can't say as I'm a massive fan on Monbiot, but when he's on the money, he's REALLY on the money. [Post edited 3 Mar 2022 10:27]

Modern warfare in this developed and integrated world, where we're exposed to so much information via different channels than ever before, and so interconnected economically, is far more nuanced than tanks and guns. Hopefully it all proves effective enough to prevent further abhorrent attacks and deaths. My only concern, as mentioned in this article, is the extent to which this gets through to those it needs to. I don't doubt outside of Russia it's had the desired effect to unite other nations, but the Russian state continues to do what it can locally to prevent the spread of information that doesn't support their propaganda. Maximum respect to those Russians protesting against this, knowing full well the consequences. |  |
