    It’s all to keep up appearances. You keep up the propaganda and fake news and some people will be no the wiser. I’m sure there’s many who know that this is fake but there’s also some who just accept the propaganda.

      100%. Like how many conservatives in America assume everyone else does or wants the horrible things they want to do. So that basically all of their accusations end up being projection and confessions. There is a not insignificant number in Russia that believes that America is just as dysfunctional as they are. And at Western criticism is hypocritical. They have a point to a small extent. But they are in many ways a bit worse off. Though I may not be able to say that next year.
