 A potent plank of Russian propaganda:
dearth of long-term established non-government sources from Russia, to gather critical facts & paint a counter-picture to the rosy official ones.

This undermines western reporting critical of Russia.
2/
 By stopping critical russian sources from establishing themselves, Russia has pretty strong of *source-grade* information coming out of it. What we get is either propaganda or leaks that are hard to authenticate, hard to weave into consistent analysis.
3/
 Western reporting on Russia rn is either generic opinions or singular observations. There's little broad, long term, observations - the footwork is not done.

All western reporting on Russia rn is very bimodal; either "opinion this opinion that" or "actually...".

 What is the problem that's inverse of censorship?

Hyper-aversion to being wrong. Exaggerated importance placed on never-ever being wrong. No "soundbite chicken", no failed prediction, no professional slang that turns slur 10, 20 years later.
3/
 There are several tactics used in the course of Hyper-aversion to being wrong, and we can group them into a couple broad categories.

 Witness a leftist #bluecheckmark sitting safely in USA, posting opinions.

Here he's calling an actual reporter on the ground "journalist" in scare quotes, and mis-representing the tweet. The tweet is simple: a report, not "taking credit".

 >Why?
Gonzalo Lira has disappeared disappearance. An opinion poaster and youtuber, recently posting spicy commentary on the #Russia-n #invasion. Last stationed in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

>citizen of the world
Citizens of the world unite? I don't like this.

3/
 Important point of note: the reporter on the ground is also described as "Dem operative" with certain underhanded history.

 Amusing to see the #InformationCascade in real time: several russian propaganda accounts posting nearly identical text.

It is used to create illusion of "lies" from the opposing side - here with false equivalence/similarity.
2/
 The "dunk" is based off of the *dis-similarity* of those mobile bakeries and earlier reported "mobile crematoria".

I find both stories cheap propaganda, not very relevant to what is on the ground.
3/
 The root of this "dunk" #propaganda might be this telegram post. Note matching wording & photo & video solection.

Also note the studied, rather than expedient, arrangement on the tables.

 meme: Putin fighting "New World Order"
reality: Putin trying to establish a new world order

2/
 Russian plan: a country-level "you will own nothing and you will be happy".
3/
 "Meet the new boss, same as the old boss".

Used to be "new soviet man". Now it's "new world economic order".

 The pervasive censorship and the uniparty establishment are american wartime measures. #dmutc

In turn, keeping up the wartime posture is dictated by maintaining the #PaxAmericana. Which has certain major advantages.
2/
 The censorship is used to maintain a somewhat coherent foreign policy and posture in the face of strong internal dissent and plurality of voices.
3/
 The uniparty establishment is used to continue economic & other wartime measures more or less intact, while being able to let voters express dissatisfaction with the outgoing admin & reps.

The above two factors lead to certain major problems.
