Today we are sharing a report from the Microsoft Threat Analysis Center (MTAC) on Russian influence operations in Africa, principally focused on the Niger coup. We believe it is vital there is wider understanding of the ways in which the internet is being used to stoke political instability around t...
Oh no westies are mad about losing control over their colonies.
Colonialism is terrible because it deprived people from their right to self determination.
But somehow, when Russia organizes a coup against a democratically elected government in the 21st century, this is totally fine. Oh, yogthos, the public display of your cognitive dissonance is a wonder to witness day after day :)
There is zero evidence for your conspiracy theory that Russia is organizing coups, while there is plenty of evidence that these are popular coups against western repression. You are a shameless propagandist, and one of the most dishonest people I've had the displeasure of interacting with on this site. Here's what's actually going on in Africa for people reading this thread https://peoplesdispatch.org/2023/09/02/niger-and-the-sahel-are-pushing-back-against-insecurity-exploitation-and-france/
There is zero evidence
Did you miss the whole article at the top of this thread, and detailed analysis it refers to? I'll make it even simpler for you and save you one click:
The onus of the proof is on you to debunk this paper as fallacious, and I'd love to read your take on it.
The rest of your comment is just insults and doesn't bring anything to the argument.
It's fascinating that Westerners can't even fathom the idea of a colony trying to steer away from their colonisers. Do you really not see people living in those countries as people who can make their own decisions without need of consulting Europeans/Americans?
The paper makes vague claims without any substance. There is nothing to debunk there, and if you actually bothered reading the paper yourself you'd know that. I guess perhaps you just expected people not to bother reading it. The link I provided you above explains the situation as it actually is. Maybe go read it.
Boy isn't this the pot calling the kettle black. 4 yr old account with 9k posts all of them being propaganda. Literally on here posting thrice a day EVERYDAY (not counting his pupet accounts). And it's all propaganda.
His account has been around since the starting days of lemmy. Your account has is 3 months old with 3 comments. You don't have grounds to call out anyone out on basis of their posts.
Does that make sense to you? Cause it doesn't to me. Guy puts up a single nonpropagamda post and you just eat it up lol. Not to mention your profile is LITERALLY nothing but hate comments and propaganda. This is why you hexes aren't seen as anything but an echo chamber for tools, trolls, and propaganda.
I guess somehow being on lemmy longer makes you somehow more reputable in your book? Obviously I just sprang into existence the moment I joined lemmy... lmao Well I'm willing to bet I've been on earth longer than you so I must be more reputable. Lol.
Dude literally has nothing but propaganda at an average of 3 posts a day for EVERY DAY for 4 years. Get a clue my guy.
You're stretching the definition of democratic especially if you're extending that to all of these countries that have recently experienced coups.
Unironically the coup has given the people more self determination than being a Neo-colony. Democracy in those countries generally have just Europeans or Americans voting for the government instead of the people. And western Africa specifically has been exploited by France on record even after colonialism "ended".
