Not unless a random search takes me there for a non-answer to my obscure question.
Unfortunately, all it will take is one of the Korean groups to be responsible for destroying another Korean group in Ukraine for any retaliation to make it's way back to the homeland.
Hell, the story doesn't even need to be real for one of the Korean governments to start lobbing shells over their border.
Honestly, I think this is the plan. It was super weird for NK to actually blow up roads on the border. With that, combined with the timing of them sending troops to Ukraine is even more sus. This probably has more to do with US elections, than anything else.
Well, I would say that some groups are more vulnerable than others. There are a multitude reasons for this and it depends on education level, religious standing, geolocation and plenty of other factors.
It's kind of an odd generalization to say that "the liberals don't realize". Certainly some don't. All parties have their version of "Karen" or grandparents that post insane Facebook rants, after all.
Some groups are far more vocal when repeating Kremlin propaganda verbatim, though. That could easily skew the perception of who is actually believing what.
Yes. I followed a group of Russian trolls around for a bit and they will systematically seed right wing social media with shit stories. It'll start on far-right sources and if the story picks up steam, it'll migrate to more mainstream sites, like twitter, where it's usually repeated by right wing politicians.
Fake news sites are built and referenced until a site with better standing quotes the articles and is listed as the original source.
If you did deep enough, you can usually trace stories back to Kremlin run outlets as well. However, by the time you have done all the digging and research, the next new conspiracy is already topping the charts.
Many of the mega-posters on .ml follow the same patterns, actually. You can guess their timezones by when they post and comment and their day job seems to be posting on social media between 9-5. In the case of Lemmy, it seems to be used as a jump-off point for actual fake news sites. (Fake news sites are rarely used as headlines and are more used as comment fodder during any arguments.)
While I am picking on right wing and tankie stuff here, this applies to any opportunity to spread shit with a variety of agendas and no political views are immune.
... AND BIG GREEN DICKS JUST STARTED FLOWING OUT OF MY PHONE!!!
(That should cover any screen readers that happen to be on full volume right now. Your welcome.)
All the cool kids are "harvesting" wheat. You should give it a try some time. (wink, wink)
Regardless of who provides the slingshots, someone has got to know how to use them.
Still, even with foreign support, Ukraine has singlehandedly revolutionized drone warfare. That is awesome and extremely frightening at the same time. The Switchblade was neat, but it supposedly costs $52k. Ukraine is strapping RPGs to drones for what? About $1k?
You aren't supposed to be snorting agent orange. I don't care how many other kids tell you it tastes just like Kool Aid...
This just rolled across a vegetarian community. (They might be on to us, boys..) Coincidence? I think not.
Before the disease takes its toll, I have found alcoholics and addicts to be genuinely smart people. Priorities are usually a bit out of whack, but other than that, I usually can't say anything too bad unless there is some serious criminal activity at play.
While I don't go to AA anymore due to some core philosophical disagreements, there is still some good content to be found. Mainly, that alcoholics and addicts are simply sick, in the context of this discussion.
Once you get past the outward issues usually on display, there are real people behind the mask of addiction. Unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before the brain-rot kicks in and most hope is lost. (I have seen some really cool recovery cases though.)
Consoles made sense when they required specialized hardware. The $700 for a PS5 is probably better spent on a much better GPU for a PC, IMHO.
It's cool if you like consoles! They still have a specific allure, so I get it.
It should have been a AAAAA studio. That is where they fucked up.
Or, they fucked up thinking that people wanting to watch movies wanted to play games....
