The most worrisome part: weāre dealing with a limited repertoire of demonstrably false claims whose source is easily traceable. If such basic propaganda proves chillingly effective, what havoc might a truly sophisticated disinformation campaign wreak?https://www.forbes.com/sites/emmawoollacott/2025/04/22/americans-believe-russian-disinformation-to-alarming-degree/

I think the headline should have been: āPeople believe disinformation to an alarming degreeā (not just Americans, and not just russian disinformation), because itās not only russian lies that people fall for. Millions believe Israelās propaganda and lies while they openly commit genocide and war crimes that are live-streamed 24/7. So the worrisome part for me is that in 2025, with access to so much information, it feels like people are consciously choosing to believe the propaganda and disinformation.

True, itās a universal issue, I wouldnāt have phrased it like that either. But this case may be unique in a sense that it makes it so easy to see how propaganda works, usually itās a bit less obvious. You can just compare the narratives that spread on social media with the Kremlin propaganda, and you notice a clear pattern; itās all out in the open, and thereās no need for some very speculative theories.
