Whenever any sort of disinformation, fake news and propaganda is discussed I feel like all the talk about it always get's stuck on it's existence. Like "the russians are spreading misinformation in europe" or whatever. Which, sure, they do, how the fuck is there no talk about what to do of it?
Cause the way I see it, there's two options, either there's no more russia or whatever other rivaling hegemonial power follows up, forever, or alternatively you ask the question about why the fuck this shit lands in the first place and make sure it doesn't
Because it's largely made up and vastly exaggerated. If people had actual details or critically thought about what 'russian disinformation' really was, it wouldn't be an effective boogeyman to blame for all the world's ills.
Somehow the west has found a way to say "You're right our democracy is broken, but it's all Russia's fault!!!"
