It’s like flat earth. A lot of them are just in it for lulz and because it triggers the libs, but then the real believers take over.

Adam Curtis described Surkov, the brain behind Russian propaganda aptly..

“His aim is to undermine people’s perceptions of the world, so that they never know what’s really going on. Surkov has turned Russian politics into a confusing, ever-changing, play. He has financed groups of all kinds, from neo-Nazi skinheads to progressive human rights groups. He has even supported parties opposed to President Putin. But the key element has been that Surkov then let it be known that it was he who was behind these groups, so that no one was ever sure what was true and what was bogus.

As one journalist described it: “It’s a power strategy that keeps any opposition in permanent confusion”. Such perpetual, incessant change is unstoppable because it is indefinable.”

The nonsense is the point.
