Is it just me, or is there a distinct lack of subtlety in right wing propaganda campaigns recently?

Fediverse vs Disinformation

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

๐ฅด The GOP? The fossil fuel think tanks? The Heritage Foundation?
it was well known the 3 right wing grifters in that screenshot was backed by putin thats why they all have the same POst. especially jack prosbiec who is married to a russian honeypot.
These three are all Koch handpuppets, it's just as likely that this is a line being passed from them.
"it is well known that' is the favourite phrase of people making baseless assertions.
hexbear people shouldnt be criticizing because all you do is do baseless assertions.
Thanks for that lazy adhominem
An NRA honey-potted by Maria Butina, Republican reps regularly summering in St Petersburg, old ties to Russian mobsters and kgb like mogilevich/dubinin, bromance with Putin himself and their 2-hours-in-heaven, shady PACs and an enormous dark slush fund? Hmmm.. idk, I don't see the connection /s
