Such disinformation campaigns come, among others, by malicious state actors, namely Russia and China, and are heavily backed by propagandists across the web, including the so-called ‘tankies’ here on Lemmy. I am wondering what they think about that. And how they feel.
As an addition, a quick reminder that 1.5 percentage points of the Nato countries’ 5% GDP military spending target is earmarked for areas beyond traditional military defense such as fighting disinformation campaigns, arson attacks, cyber attacks, and things like that.
You’re talking about malicious state actors and wont even mention usa
#foundthetankie
Yeah, lets all forget that the usa threaten to attack greenland, canada, netherlands all of who are supposed to be their ally. But sure, because of facts Im prorussian, youre a joke.
They’re not actors, they are just dumb victims.
¿Por qué no los dos?
Such misinformation campaigns have been going on in Britain(and elsewhere) for many years now.
If only a government of a country had other means of preventing disease and death of children through parental neglect than “battling misinformation”.
Make these vaccinations mandatory and be done with it.
“Battles”. They don’t really care, come on now. If they cared, they’d be educating people, but they need a dumb populace in order to control them more easily.
I hear that a lot, that the stupid are easier to control. However my personal and of course anecdotal experience is that if your policies are well chosen and your theories grounded in research and even well informed common sense it’s much easier to lead smart, well educated people. Stupid, ignorant people are neigh ungovernable. Even if they want to do what you tell them they mess up the execution of the instructions.
There’s a nice middle, which we’re getting out of right now. People were dumb, but not too dumb. Now they are becoming too dumb thanks to social media, worse education, and other influences.

That requires a lot more work and the most likely outcome is that right-wing, neo-liberal, and conservative policies will be much less likely to be the default.
If they really cared, they’d protect children from this form of parental neglect by making the relevant vaccines mandatory.
