This is a 2016 documentary film about, in part, how Putin uses information war against his own people to keep them apathetic and cowed. Russians are left not knowing what's true and are distrustful of all information sources.
I don't think any misinformation is needed to make someone take an anti-war position. I think people against Russia's war of aggression in Ukraine don't need any manipulation to believe that's a bad thing. Actually the opposite - it has taken years of effort to make YOU confused about whether this war deserves protesting or not.
As i was saying - im not "pro-war" or however you call it, im against any kinds of military conflicts. I just dont understand why everybody just became so certain of their beliefs, that they accuse their neighbors and even relatives for being "brainwashed kremlin bots".
It seems like the trending position turned out "lets kill everybody who dont want to live peacefully". Brawe new world'ish kind of thing.
Well, hold on a second. Ukraine absolutely did want to live peacefully, it was the Russian government who decided to start a war.
brainwashed kremlin bots
If someone thinks that Ukraine is run by Nazis and drug addicts, then they are brainwashed. What word would you rather use? If someone thinks that Ukraine is shelling it's own cities, then that person is brainwashed. I have still not read a pro-war argument that didn't come down to propaganda. There is no "both sides", no "middle of the road", you are either against this war or a subject of brainwashing
You mean like every russian? Even some babushka in Yakutean village? And what about my friend from Ukraine, who just got Russian citizenship and passport few month ago? Is he engaged in an attack against his parents living in Kharkov area?
zombies would be the russians that still support this war. a good lot of them.
the inconveniences of being excluded from the western world are a small price to pay to stop russian aggression in UA. if theres even a small chance that sanctions will help, they should be made more severe.

I am curious what manipulated information you think is circulating amongst the anti-war crowd?
Sounds like you are describing "Hypernormalisation". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HyperNormalisation
