Is anyone else noticing an uptick in far-right content and Russian propaganda on reddit lately?

To me it almost seems like reddit has started pushing it.

    How do you tell the difference between Russian propaganda and right wing American propaganda?

      It is such an extreme dysfunctional problem. The right would hate immigrants, sexual/reproductive freedom without Russian interference. If some disinformation is sourced from Russia, GOP fully supporting it is a GOP blamed act. Equivalent to them paying cheaper Russian bot farms for GOP purposes.

      The complete acceptance of Russophobia propaganda around here, and the economic damage from supporting a losing war on Russia, was a factor in losing a close election, though GOP vote rigging and voter suppression, and an Israel first DNC that supports Trump, was a bigger factor. The economic damage of a losing war based on propaganda disinformation, meant that Biden could not criticize the war as defense for inflation policies.

      War on Russia will never make you happy. For all I know, midterms democrat strategy will be based on resuming war on Russia. The demonization of peace because “peace means Putin wins”, and so peace means being a servant of Putin, is both so simplistic but so effective in causing deranged views.

          I was making a joke using the meme from The Office where corporate asks what the difference between two pictures is. I was using your comment as a setup to insinuate that right wing propaganda is the same as Russian propaganda.

              Makes pretty good sense to me. They’re using the meme format to imply that there are no differences between the two, i.e. right wing propaganda is just Russian propaganda.

        Ok? What doers that have to do with my question?

        Their goal is chaos and division.

        How did you determine this?
