Yes, the propaganda op seems quite standardized and in a consistent format from a few regular posters here, as if straight out of a AI program or manual.
I call it the “disembodied, one-off event, promoted as a disconnected chain evidence of some main propaganda theme.” Putin is about to fall, Russia is collapsing.
It works very well on the casual consumer of news (ie. most Americans), if it is not analyzed closely
These themes rise, then disappear.
For example - for a few weeks we had constant “evidence” of “Putin dying” - Putin is bloated, Putin’s legs are shaking, etc...
Then its gone.
New report claims Vladimir Putin’s health is failing as the Russian President complains of ‘aching pains’ ahead of crucial meetings
Vladimir Putin’s health has again come into focus, with a new report claiming the Russian President is in severe “aching pain” and it’s weighing on the decisions he makes.
Putin at 70: isolated, irrational and fearing for his health
There seems little for the president to celebrate on Friday as Russia’s elite dares to ask: is he losing control?

That's pretty incredible considering you guys consider every bit of negative news about the war, even from sources you ordinarily like if its for Covid19 (like the Daily Mail), to be part of some kind of conspiracy--even purely factual news about the defeat of Russian forces.
So, literally, the "consistent format" you are referring to is: "posts I do not like," otherwise you're just bulllshitting.
Yes, we see lots of canned responses, I notice some broken English occasionally and there are certain times of day that the “regulars” seem to spam the forum in tandem, overwhelming the news feed with their garbage.
And they get apoplectic when we point this out. They even try bullying, by slinging silly insults from their keyboards to keep people from pointing out their tactics.
Which only encourages me to keep on exposing them.
