I really don't know. That's why I'm asking.
Before the invasion, I was quite aware of plenty of "Putin is a badass, he gets shit done, he's riding a bear" fawning over yet another substitute strongman while :trump-anguish: is (temporarily, perhaps) deflated in relevance to them. I am unfortunately genetically related to a number of people that have these exact sentiments, so it isn't just very online people being edgy to trigger the libs.
I know that the United States is full of very credulous and impressionable consumer herd animals by design. What I'm wondering about is whether this current invasion and the media-wide propaganda blitz will have lasting effect on the "Putin gets shit done" sort of Russia-admiring chuds, or whether they will wake up tomorrow and completely forget about that honeymoon period, like the ever-shifting perceived enemies within a certain novel that they cite but also grossly misunderstand. :1984:
I don't know but they sure as fuck aren't concerned with cancel culture right now. Russia's people have been kicked off OnlyFans, Twitch, and Youtube. There is probably more including financial services. Joe Rogan gets tweeted at for saying COVID is actually ghosts in your blood cells and they act like it's 1984. They talk about how much power these tech companies have and how it needs to be curbed. Yet here those companies are, closing off entire countries at the behest of the US government (though the companies could do it on their own anytime). Nothing. Not a peep.
I don't think they'll drop the cancel culture stuff. It's just more apparent how much of it is for show.
The sheer propaganda saturation and the adaptive conditioning that makes a staggering majority of the population nod along to it and only concern themselves with safe culture war bullshit that never targets or threatens the ruling class is really something.
