The vectors of propaganda from the Russian side are shifting as it becomes obvious their usual methods are not working.

Don't be surprised to see them tug at some of the older methods from the 50s/60s that bore fruit in an effort to fracture the almost universal condemnation of the invasion of Ukraine.

So I mentioned about the vectors changing.

You've probably seen or will see in the next few days the video showing Africans being denied entry on a train in Ukraine because they were black.

I have no doubt that there is racism in Ukraine, and that this *could* happen, but you have to be the most skeptical of the things you believe.

This fits in too well with the whole, "liberating Ukraine from all the neo-nazis" angle and seems a bit too convenient in timing.

Smarter people than me (and on this very site even!) have consistently said that you should question sharing any video that creates a very strong emotion when there are few secondary sources.

Keep that in mind as the strategies in the propaganda war change.

@Hobyrim Putin is a notorious racist and misogynist. I won’t repeat the things he said about Obama, and much of his hatred for Hillary was based on her gender.
