Russian Funding of anti-woke

[DisgustedofManchester]

It seems that someone has 'followed the money' and Putin's manipulation is everywhere amongst the anti-woke, including the Gender Critical. As the press rallies behind Putin by blaming the West's obsession with being woke ( obviously not the press obsessively being anti-woke ) it appears that so many easily influenced people have been victim to his manipulation and money

Radio 4's The Hackers, episode 'End User' actually says it's the other way round, with Russian troll farms manipulating BLM and LGBTQ+ groups to promote the most socially divisive material and even bumped up the Karen meme. It's only 15 minutes and worth a listen on BBC iPlayer, assuming you actually live in the UK.

Good christ.

@delurkasaurus

Amazing.

Here for the deletion message when the OP does a flounce (but please please please let this stay, MNHQ!)

OP is in perma-flounce, tbh. DoM tends to drop and run. So we can merrily play with the thread as we please.

Another fine plop and run post from our friend

Radio 4 The Hackers, episode 'End User';
''In the past, state sponsored hacking focused on espionage, stealing sensitive information and disrupting technological system. Nowadays, the focus has shifted. Rather than hacking technology, state sponsored hackers are targeting people. Biella speaks with Darren Linvill about a new kind of malevolent hacking, and how by playing to the algorithms on various social networks, these professional agents can sow chaos, and rope lay users into spreading rage and misinformation across societies.''

Does one have to apply for these filthy roubles, or do they just land in one's account unsolicited? Asking for a friend 👀

And the thing with sowing that kind of social division is that those who do it are almost certainly going to argue both sides, in an attempt to drive their opponents to greater extremes.

It's not a bad idea to keep this in the back of our minds, but it in no way invalidates the basic disagreement or social discourse about how to think and talk and legislate about reproductive role or other social controversies..

Although given the state of the rouble today, my friend might prefer payment in US dollars.

these professional agents can sow chaos, and rope lay users into spreading rage
Is the OP a Russian agent of chaos, sent to disrupt us?

''GC's are racist' wasnt working, so is ''GC's = Agitprop'' the tactic for March?

Predictably:

I've had Bitcoin from the US Christian Right, would that help your friend?

I my friend prefers a briefcase of used bank notes handed over by a mysterious foreign man, wearing mirrored sunglasses.

This thread was too good not to archive. Soz.

This.

@dworky

Vlad, I know you're busy but where exactly is my cheque? Been waiting ages.

Don't worry, I'm hoarding the filthy Russian cash in the strongroom at Dinosaur HQ, alongside our enviable supply of rights.

I will have a listen!

I think it should be in Classics!

Oh my this has cheered me right up today!

Are you seriously not ashamed to try and weaponised the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine for your own antifeminist goals? Every time I think "no, surely they won't make that about themselves, surely they won't try and appropriate this, that's too low even for the TRAs" you somehow manage to do it. I can't even begin to imagine what the people who know you must think of you.

#RightSideOfHistory

Given that Vlad's been calling everyone Nazis, claiming he is the ultimate antifa and also the victim of something called Russophobia, I had assumed his next move would be to shove on a shift dress and say, 'Call me Wendy.'

On a more serious note, all the above shows that even dictators have learned the DARVO playbook.

I will sleep easier knowing my roubles are being guarded by dinosaurs.

Oh you again Disgustedof?
Sorry can’t stop to chat; I’ve got roubles to launder - or possibly I mean the kids’ clothes- Silly Mummy gets so confused
