“Speaking to Russian TV in an on-camera interview on Wednesday, Mr Putin said Mr Biden’s leadership would be better for Russia because he was a “more experienced person, he is predictable, he is a politician of the old formation”.”

    LOL, what clever reverse psychology Mr. Putin! We will definitely all buy that you want the guy pushing to arm your victims rather than the one who wants to give you a free pass. It’s frankly shocking how bad they are at their overt manipulation. Their propaganda videos for conservative westerners are incredibly poorly done, like they have no idea what sort of cultural styles appeal to which segments of the US population.

    “‘I’m very conservative and traditional’: meet Teddy Boy Greg, a famous barber living in Moscow, 100% tattooed and 100% in love with Russia.”

      This is probably on purpose, for the same reason that spam emails are so poorly done and have so many misspellings. They want to get the people who are not attentive to details, because they are easier to manipulate.

        I can’t remember if they’re actually pro-Russia, but I chose an instance that doesn’t federate with Hexbear for exactly the reason that I don’t have to see their trolling. Reddit was nicer once CTH got banned and Lemmy is much better without Hexbear.
