@inthehands@hachyderm.io @tomw@mastodon.social @BlackAzizAnansi@mas.to Masha Gessen makes a similar point in (the book) Surviving Autocracy. If you look at anti-Ukraine propaganda, russia throws so much contradictory nonsense out there that many Westerners gave up trying to make sense out of it and have just moved on to other concerns.
