1 Introducing @SarahMaslinNir & @Nataliekitro, the latest Glavlit Commissars, whose #TruckersConvoy piece would do their NKVD handlers proud. notice how the military & L&O background of some organisers is constantly repeated to give the impression this is a military coup 🔴

2 next - notice how the word “occupation” is repeatedly used - the people are called protestors, or demonstrators but the action is constantly called occupation 🔵 this fits in neatly with Gorky’s dictum “hatred should be cultivated by an organic revulsion as far as the enemy is

3 …concerned. Enemies must be seen as inferior. I believe profoundly the enemy is our inferior, & is a degenerate not only in the physical plane but also in the moral sense”. Obviously @nytimes editorial policy to refer to this as occupation while farmers protests were protests.

4 The sheer vacuousness of these ladies comes in these paragraphs 🟢. First they accuse @BJdichter of being “anti-Islamist”. Clearly they have no clue that ISIS, Al Qaeda are also islamists. Basically political any religion - Islam, Christianity, Hinduism goes against secularism

5 but for these ladies the separation of mosque and state is clearly a slur. Again notice how @nytimes editors oppose political Hinduism, but their NKVD-GlavLit propagandtsy here consider being anti islamist & opposing political Islam as a fatal flaw & slur tantamount to racism

6 now the contradiction. They celebrate “facts” and label the Truckers as underpinned by “counter factual belief systems” - yeah because you know believing that some chap up in the sky that nobody’s seen, should dictate laws & customs - is a highly “factual” belief system

7 any proof provided of any consistent conspiracy theory across the group no. Any proof of systematic “rage”? No. So you can see how dim witted & weak in humanities these ladies are when they can’t see the contradiction literally in every paragraph. But like good little Komsomol

8 pioneers, they’re quite excellent at propaganda - both of the Goebbels and Dzherzhinsky kind. Constant use of language calculated to delegitimise, constant attribution of some beliefs to the entire group, constant implications of military & violent overtones. No proof, just

9 sippenhaft style guilt by association & Soviet style conviction by rumour. Congrats uncles Felix Edmundovitch & Josef Vissarionovitch. твои дочери, ты гордишься, your daughters do you proud!
