Ok thanksNo doubt this occurred today as credible accounts verified it and pointed out that the Russian expats in Germany are now acting like the Turkish ones.
Notice the flags (Serbian, Hungarian, old USSR flag, even the Kazakh flag etc.) Lots of right wing pro russian expats and pro russian German right wingers but also elections today in Hungary and Serbia with Putin essentially on the ballot because of Orbán.
When people say something is propaganda it isn't because they disagree with the content but, rather, with the way that the facts have been twisted for a particular purpose. Effective propaganda requires an elementnt of truth so, in this case, the truth is that people gathered in Berlin for a pro russian rally. The video claims 5,000 cars in order to suggest that Russia has wide support in Germany which is absolutely false. Watch the clip again and think about this:
Your average vehicle is around 14 feet. "5000" 14 foot cars lined up end to end would amount to 70,000 feet or a little over 13 miles. Where in Berlin (where this comes from) could a 13+ mile caravan gather? The driving distance from near my place in midtown manhattan to Park Slope in Brooklyn to visit friends is around 7 miles. Does this protest look like damn near double that distance?
The Russians use the same bullshit tactics the right wing here uses (caravans of millions of truckers, bikers etc.) because they are the ones who taught our idiots here.
Here is a great example. Official estimate of 5,000 bikers =
Another group named itself "2 Million Bikers to DC" because the reporting would have to mention the name and give the idea of millions of angry cacs flooding dc. They used the same fake blurry pictures but claimed millions of bikers were coming. In reality, there were fewer people than at a Wizards game.
Was just wondering, shit seemed kinda odd but as I seen over that last few days…
Nothing should seem odd….
