1/9 Copying nazis once again: the '60 to 40 method' disinformation agents have been activated by russia.
2/9 Have you observed that individuals, both russian and non-russian, whom you believed were against Putin and his war and supported Ukraine, have recently begun advocating for forced negotiations that favor russia's position?
3/9 This has a specific cause. russia is once again emulating Nazi Germany by employing the so-called '40 to 60' disinformation method, originally developed by Goebbels.
4/9 This method involves producing media that allocates 60 percent of its content in favor of the enemy's interests. Subsequently, having gained their trust through this approach, the remaining 40 percent is utilized for highly impactful disinformation.
5/9 russia has the capability to enlist individuals who appear to be from the opposition, as well as other people, to execute this method using skillful mental gymnastics and effective communication techniques. This approach has proven to be highly effective.
6/9 There have been many instances of a shift in rhetoric by individuals who were perceived to be supporting Ukraine. Some of them purposefully employ the 40 to 60 method, while others are simply russian imperialists who happen to be opposed to Putin. Some are just opportunists.
7/9 russia consistently launches new disinformation campaigns against the West, employing various methods. The '40 to 60' method is just one of these tactics, yet it proves to be highly effective due to its reliance on trust.
8/9 These campaigns have been remarkably successful in causing many to overlook russia's initial lies and the origins of the war, as well as the significant setbacks experienced by russia in the invasion thus far.
P.S. I am not suggesting that the individuals in the pictures are russian disinformation agents or intentionally use the 60 to 40 method. However, their recent shift in rhetoric aligns with the pattern discussed in the thread.

1/11 The war is far from over, but Ukraine is still winning.
Here is how we can make sure that it defeats Russia 🧵
2/11 Russia’s 2022 invasion is a genocide.
They use genocidal rhetoric to justify erasing Ukraine's identity. They kidnap children and commit daily war crimes to punish civilians for simply refusing to be Russian.
This is a systematic attempt to destroy a nation
3/11 The human cost is massive.
In Mariupol, the death toll in 3 months potentially exceeded the total deaths in Gaza throughout the entire war, despite a much smaller population.
People underestimate this scale and don't see that Russia is committing genocide in Europe
