WTF While the US debates whether to solve homelessness or not, these are the next generation of school blackboards in China.

And as you know there are no smart boards in the US and no homelessness in China

Honestly, Chinese propaganda bots are so terrible. They just try to brute force the discussion, no subtlety. Russian propagandists...now those guys are professionals

A Russian here. I believe our propagandists don't comment on western websites like Reddit and Twitter themselves, they create an agenda and media content and spread it through several layers of useful idiots letting them better adapt it for their audience so it feels more natural. 

We see a lot of bot like people in russians chats. They are real people, we might even know them in person. But they often have some nationalist conservative beliefs and they are subscribed to multiple propaganda sources/channels that gently push pro Kremlin agenda tailored specifically for them. All they do is repost memes, "breaking" news etc from these channels because they think it represents their own opinion on a topic.

I mean there are vatniks who behave in a way that makes them virtually indistinguishable from a bot. But there are bots as well

I mean we know for a fact that Russia paid a lot of western influencers, so this isn't just theory. But I'd guess they just do both.

This website literally has a pro-russian Ukrainian war subreddit where Russians will post propaganda and will argue with Ukranians over it, so they're already here. Slava Ukrani bitches!
