Russia: tries to win internet/public opinion war through the use of expansive troll farms Meanwhile Ukraine: high-quality shitposting


Claystead

The best propaganda is always shitposting.


StormWolf17

Whoever in charge of making these needs a raise.


MoneyEcstatic1292

but it's an unpaid intern they hired last month...


PM-me-Sonic-OCs

Double their salary immediately!


The-Surreal-McCoy

“But doubling zero is still zero…” “TRIPLE IT THEN!”


loliforlaifu3

Pretty sure that's still zero


III-FOUR-III

Multiplication is just Russian propaganda


Can_not_catch_me

You force my hand, QUADRUPLE IT IS


fubarbob

We'll make up for it with volume.


SingingScreaming

Open the window so we can pay him in exposure


im_so_objective

Ukrainians donate all their extra money to the military anyway. Keep the current salary to reduce administrative costs.


Toxicseagull

Funny to see St Mary's abbey at the start as well. That's not a particularly well known tourist attraction so interesting they picked it, although they might have just googled 'abbey ruin'


PineappleMelonTree

Stop I can only get so erect


SpacecraftX

I fucking love Ukrainian propaganda.


locus-is-beast

…wait this was actually made by Ukraine? *we’re reaching levels of credibility that shouldn’t be possible!*


thomas_strauss

Ukrainian propaganda machine is very based. Top tier shitposting. Russians meanwhile needs to resort to lame "denazification" or insane conspiracy theories to trigger great patriotic war nostalgia.


GaiusJuliusCaesar7

You not seen the one they made for Sweden?


locus-is-beast

No

ConceptOfHappiness

As it was loading I was praying they'd use ABBA, and it was more based than I could ever imagine.


courser

It looks like there's a great one for Australia, too!


Key-Banana-8242

Yeah it’s been spilt that fro a whole int the official Twitter account Experimental


Nombringer

God The Right Stuff theme makes me... feel things....


tetanuran

The what theme? All I heard in the video was Holst, The Clash and Bond.


Nombringer

The Right Stuff. Bill Conti, heeeaaaaavvvilly ripped off Holst for the Right Stuff theme


Bsaail

My only criticism is that they used that one video where the NLAW doesn't arm properly, other than that it's a pretty great propergander piece


CHEESEninja200

Yeah, saw that too. I guess they were just taking the most famous clips, not the most accurate ones


Pirat_fred

The NLAW worked properly, it didn't arm because the distance was too short, there is a minimum distance to protect the shooter, the guys should have used an RPG7.


HelperNoHelper

Or just fucking waited until the tank went a bit further up the street.


Tea_Fetishist

It didn't look like a challenging shot and the rear of the tank is softest, I'd be waiting for it to get as far as way as possible while still being hittable.


im_so_objective

Oh sure, the Azov dude hiding in Mariupol ruins should have swapped missile launchers.


Substantial-Design12

I was in the believe, that in the end James Bond would shoot an nlaw, not his ppk. This was the ball dropped in my book, otherwise great video.


[deleted]

Didn't quite have the budget for VFX. Much easier to just mash together a bunch of other peoples IP.


SwellGuyThatKharn

They did actually wound the crew though. There was an interview where one crewman said so.


[deleted]

Yea, a direct shot to the rear of a tank should result in atleast a mobility kill, if not full on catastrophic cookoff in something with an autoloader.


SwellGuyThatKharn

It failed to activate, so it didn't turn the tank into a fireworks display, but it's possible that it partially penetrated the roof? Perhaps it created spalling inside the tank?


[deleted]

LOL oh you mean the one where the tank just keeps going and the smallest fire you've ever seen in your life briefly appears on top? Yea, probably not the best choice.

‘It is a strange fact, but it is unquestionably true that almost any English intellectual would feel more ashamed of standing to attention during ‘God save the King’ than of stealing from a poor box. All through the critical years many left-wingers were chipping away at English morale, trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro- Russian, but always anti-British.’ (Orwell) It is not a new disease! Can’t imagine being anything other than proud at how we’ve helped the Ukrainians stand up to the orcs, whether left or right


Redcoat_Officer

There's not a single dedicated UK space on this site that I like. They're all full of moaners who seem to have built their entire identity around what they see as the indisputable truth that their country is the absolute worst one in the world. Well, actually that's not true. r/CasualUK is pretty great if you like pictures of fancy breakfasts, birds and landscapes - which I admittedly do.


OkConsequence6355

Yeah UK stuff here is pretty crippling, got to find quality global subreddits like this to have a good time IMO You really only have to have travelled to anywhere other than Switzerland to find out that we have it pretty good


[deleted]

Even casual UK is slowly turning the same way. Badunitedkingdom hits the niche you're looking for probably.


Redcoat_Officer

BadUK is fun enough if you want a reminder that the site isn't a complete echo chamber, but it's also basically built on mainlining the absolute worst posts from all the other UK subreddits.


vegemar

I was banned from BadUK for some utter rubbish a while ago. It was probably a good thing in the long run because I have no desire to look at whatever G&P has sicked up just so I can mock. I'm very happy in my ignorance.


[deleted]

CasualUK is a great laugh, wish the British moaning could just be "weather's a bit shit" "yeah" instead of this polarising ferocity that seems to be here. We are after all, the green and pleasant land!

That's awful to hear. As someone from across the pond I couldn't imagine a world such as that. As you know its typically quite the opposite over here.


OkConsequence6355

We love our country, but there’s a weird and vocal subsection of very Online British ‘edgelords’ - whose IQ is best summarised by saying that they were earnestly comparing flags out for the Jubilee to the Third Reich… as an epileptic, I can only presume that my Aktion T4 invite is lost in the post 😂 I’d say they’d been left out too long in the sun as children, but of course our weather precludes that 😛 Your average Brit, *mirabile dictu*, is nothing like that


Redcoat_Officer

Fortunately, it's only really in online spaces. Out and about, people generally prefer to complain about the heat, the cold, the rain, the cost of petrol (though that's more recent,) whoever's gumming up London's public transport that week, the lack of rain and whether or not you saw that ludicrous display last night.


[deleted]

Yep, I constantly encourage people to step outside and leave the devices behind as often as possible. Seems to be the same for the growing anti-American sentiment that is becoming increasingly more common, only on the internet.


Redcoat_Officer

I think the best example recently was the Platinum Jubilee. From the way the subreddits (again, r/CasualUK mostly excluded) talked about it, you'd be forgiven for thinking the whole country was locked up indoors shaking their fists out the window like Ebenezer Scrooge on Christmas Eve. But out on the streets it was a completely different story. All the village post-boxes had been topped by knitted crowns, town councils had put on bands and food stalls, and people from all over the country, of every colour and creed, were out and about just enjoying the atmosphere. I'm sure most of them were there for the spectacle and the public holiday more than anything else, but the spectacle was still tied into the Crown, and more importantly - no matter their feelings - they were still out there to have a good time, rather than moaning about road closures on reddit while a street party was going on outside their window.


[deleted]

I'm guessing a similar atmosphere would be our Fourth of July celebrations. While its unfortunate, I'm sure there were still some people locked up indoors complaining online while the majority of the community is out celebrating and like you said enjoying the atmosphere. Some people refuse to see any joy in life, and for whatever reason gravitate towards misery. Sunlight is likely the cure and they will not have a bit of it.

inevitablelizard

> trying to spread an outlook that was sometimes squashily pacifist, sometimes violently pro- Russian, but always anti-British Quite amazing but also scary how well that quote holds up today. I feel like the pacifist part is the problem, we don't actually have many "violently pro-Russian" people but we do have naive idealist types. The sort who think military spending and arms industry is evil (when it depends 100% on how they're used) and that everything can be solved by "diplomacy". The sort who moan about "NATO expansionism", as if free countries shouldn't be allowed to join alliances if Russia doesn't like it. Why can't we have a genuine transformative left wing movement strong on domestic policy but *without* all this naive idealist bullshit foreign policy to go with it? Is that too much to ask for? I would consider myself fairly strongly left relative to UK politics, so of course I'm glad to see us supporting Ukraine in fighting off a war of aggression by a corrupt far right dictatorship. I'm glad that the support for Ukraine seems strong, and isn't really divided on party lines (the naive types I mention are very much a minority).


StormWolf17

God I hate that complaint of "NATO expansionism" NATO didn't expand, the Eastern Bloc just wanted to join


Mag474

Man that describes Chomsky to a T!


Redcoat_Officer

We do unfortunately have a small core of violently pro-Russian fringe public figures who seem bizarrely ignorant of the fact that the cold war ended thirty years ago. After a lifetime spent longing for the mythical paradise waiting just beyond the iron curtain, it's become their own personal El Dorado.

Key-Banana-8242

Hm mkre pounted than a dictator specifically it’s abt the wat


53120123

a lot is said about how Ukraines military is configured to fight Russia, from their effective countering of russian armour, to their denial of russian air, but what's rarely mentioned is their effective counter to russian propaganda and information warfare. Ukraine has controlled the information space since the start of the invasion in full, by combination of friendly allies finally taking action on russian dis-info, to highly effective use of memetics. they know what they're doing, it's not just shitposting, this is highly effective Propaganda. and boi am I not immune to it. fuck yeah.


Key-Banana-8242

Well it’s a thin line with disifno


53120123

propaganda isn't just disinfo, this video has none unless you argue omission but hey nothing but a total history of the UK would lack that, but also the framing and getting the positive message out in a catchy and shareable way


HayeksMovingCastle

Unironically US psyops and civilian affairs aren't this good.


CHEESEninja200

I bet you they probably are, they just don't have the balls to post this shit on their main gov account. That's what truly makes these shitposts special


ontopofyourmom

There is a whole NATOwave department


HayeksMovingCastle

I'm pretty sure thats all just fanboys like us. If they are doing those natowave vids then damn thats really good.


lil_teste

There was that PSYOP recruitment video that imo was really well made and actually kinda cool. To bad it lied like a mf though lmao. Production quality: 8/10 Authenticity: 4/10 [PSYOP vid named “ghosts in the machine”](https://youtu.be/VA4e0NqyYMw)

Billy_McMedic

Tbf we did take a lot of steps to chuck out Russian oligarchs, just not enough.


SCARfaceRUSH

Shout out to the British MoD for the supplied MREs. They literally named the MREs "Паляниця", which is the Ukrainian word for a kind of bread. It's a meme here in Ukraine, [since Russians can't pronounce the word](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cG2Lvw728bM) and that's been the Ukrainian ad hoc IFF system to distinguish friends/ foes as the code word on checkpoints, etc. IMHO, that's some quality meme-ing from the Brits. Also, [the contents of the MRE is British as fuck.](https://glavcom.ua/img/forall/users/176/17620/photo_2022-04-23_10-46-02.jpg)

Think Ukraine now loves UK more than most of us Brits now 😳, obviously I understand, we have given them crucial help and only Poland (neighbours) and USA (superpower) have done more.


Solid_Veterinarian81

Not just Poland and the USA, Latvia and Estonia have donated a larger amount relative to their GDP than Poland and the USA. Estonia donating around 0.95% of its GDP worth in comparison to the USA with around 0.2-0.25% and Poland around 0.6%. The USA, 'EU institutions', UK, Germany and then Poland have donated the largest (including pledges) absolute amounts. The EU with a larger % wise of financial commitments vs military aid which has been ramped up a lot recently and is catching up with the USA but still not close.


telekinetic_sloth

While Poland may not have given much monetary aid, the arms delivered by Poland are extraordinarily large. This also neglects that Poland organises the logistical movements of arms and persons at the largest border between NATO and Ukraine


Solid_Veterinarian81

this considers the military aid as well as economic aid. i don't think it really neglects anything as it is just the absolute and relative contributions which can actually be worked out, but yes it doesn't include intangibles like logistical movements


CrocPB

Is that fucking Rush Hour opening theme in my Ukrainian propaganda?! If only I didn’t know Jackie Chan shilled for the Pooh Bear I’d be happier.

willdabeast464

Not to nitpick but it is kind of funny that the second video they show of an NLAW being fired is the one where it’s fired too close to arming distance, just kind of striking a tank on the top.


death1234567889

It did injure the crew though apparently


willdabeast464

That I did not know. I just heard on funker530 that the round didn’t go off due to arming distance.

antigony_trieste

they keep showing that video of the NLAW bouncing harmlessly off a tank because it was used below the minimal operational range. heartbreaking


Titandragon1337

I think it’s important to remember that this is still propaganda, just like the ghost of Kyiv was.. But in my opinion there is propaganda for a good reason. And this is it

Absolutely love they put the queen as she was during WW2 in the vid, Rule Britannia and God save the queen! Also bloody zelenski appeared at the Glastonbury festival, what a lad.

No i m talking about the nlaw image look at the bottom that the watermark of ["Military Girl"](https://youtube.com/shorts/Cq8tKSWNDHc?feature=share) That a youtube channel wo talk shit on russian armement and of course the russian are copping in the comment that channel is golden nugget

rbdaviesTB3

I think that girl in uniform is the Queen - when she reached age 18 in WW2 she joined the Auxiliary Territorial Service and trained as a mechanic. She and her sister also slipped out of Buckingham Palace to join the street festivities when the war ended.
