   Lately I've seen talk about #Russian people, claiming they support the war.

   Remember that #Putin's propaganda efforts go both ways. By lying to his people about the war, he manufactures excess consent. By shutting them out of our feeds, we give them less ways to learn the truth of his #genocide in #Ukraine.

   By lying about the nature and scope of #AntiWar sentiments, saying it is small protests of the draft, Putin makes dissent seem fringe to everyone, in #Russia and outside.

   (contd.)

     Remember that the main tool in the Putin #propaganda arsenal is to claim victimhood, to accuse us of "#Russophobia", to claim #NATO exists solely to threaten them, to claim peace will not be possible because we simply hate #Russia, to claim #asylum-seekers fleeing his #draft will not be welcomed with open arms, to claim that Russian "voters" are in solidarity with him to discourage dissent and encourage us to lash out at #Russians when we share a common enemy.

     Putin is the enemy of humanity.
