About halfway in

The whole video is about how google is gonna start cracking down on vax disinformation. The kikcker? Its a substantive vector in the Russian psyops sowing conflict in the west, so obviously Putin is mad about it.

I heard this too, wouldn’t it be as easy as using a vpn to upload your vaccine bullshit info?

Seems like a win win? Although what tactics will Russia resort to if it can no longer convince Americans to kill themselves?

I dont think that is the equation. Russia may tolerate youtube if its a net positive in its propaganda efforts. If Russia cant push bullshit on the west why should it allow its own population to consume anything western on the platform at all, be it avg Jane and John or otherwise.
VPN? Sure, to continue to try and push bullshit that will then get taken down.
Russians is living in Trumps wet dream : Land of alternate reality.

I think if you take an objective look at the last 30 years in America that one will quickly realize that the air of ignorance has been emphasized and one party has been going towards disinformation, lies, etc....

Russia just throwing fuel on a fire that's already burning.

If there's any healing, it will be after the boomers are gone.

"Russia to" is usually followed by something that won't happen, like "send a manned mission to Mars" or "build its own Silicon Valley."
I think they tried to ban Telegram too, and usage went up.

What a luxury it is for dictatorships to be able to control the media their people see and hear. Imagine Trump controlling our media outlets. We'd have Putin and Trump hosting daily/hourly shows on FOX, the chosen state media outlet purporting to be the most trusted "reliable source of news and commentary" with every other media outlet being suppressed into underground "criminal propaganda groups".

The role of our media outlets, many of which once played the role of watchdogs on our leader's word and deed would be reversed. Can't happen? The Repub leadership and their benefactors are throwing $billions$ at the attempt this very moment with Trump, the best dang liar that money can buy being their current celebrity spokesperson.

Yeah, like I’m sure once the boomers are gone people like DeSantis and Cruz and Noem will snap out of their MAGA trance and finally come to their senses, rofl!!! Or maybe Paul Ryan will rescue the Republican Party after all!!

When I see the worst of the worst MAGAts, I don’t see Boomers. I see Juniors.

They are simply pandering to boomers.
It is the voter not the Politician.
I feel @JSt0rm was correct. The internet broke (many not all) boomers brains.

I was just watching DeSantis on an MSNBC video. He's doing his best to equal Trump in being a total asshole and plumber of the depths of the human spirit. I had to bail on the rest of DeSantis' on mic diatribe, couldn't take any more.

Interesting take on it. I mean, I see those peeps, and where do you think they learned what they're doing? Who is leading the way?
