Here is a tweet by Paul Joseph Watson. Whether the image was actually made by a Kremlin meme factory or not, it's just Kremlin propaganda. It's also obviously fake, but still plausible enough to fool a lot of idiots and morons.
It is a crudely doctored image. Here is the original:
PJW has done this so many times now, there is no way this is an innocent mistake. He knows it's fake, but he doesn't care. PJW you see is a fake little cunt.
Of course, if you still wanted to simp for the lying little shit you could say:
"I'm not going to chase down as to whether this is real or not, but it's certainly the sort of billboard they would put up."
Or maybe:
"Yes the meme is fake but the point it makes is correct, namely that we are sacrificing too much for the sake of the Ukrainians."
This too is fake and cowardly.
The reason we support the Ukrainians is the same reason we support the police arresting people we don't know who stick knives into other people we don't know. It's as simple as that.
Putin didn't have to invade the Ukraine, and he doesn't have to keep doing it. He could stop, obviously, and send his troops home. Just turning a blind eye to this blatant aggression and historical revanchism is not really a sensible option in the long term, is it? What kind of geopolitical jungle would that create?
But back to PJW, he's not even honestly making those kind of disingenuous arguments, which would be slightly more honest and respectable. Instead he is trying to make his points with actual lies and doctored images.
You'll also notice he is not just retweeting something that someone else on Twitter has tweeted. No, he has uploaded the image himself. This is because he's the one that wants to be retweeted. He knows there are enough morons to make it go viral. So why is he doing this?
Either he is being paid directly to spread disinfo, or else he intuitively knows the Kremlin disinfo machine, which includes thousands of accounts on Twitter, will push his content and make it go viral. This leads to more hits on his content, more name recognition, more donations from dumbasses, and other indirect benefits -- although
shagging Lauren Southern clearly isn't one of them.
He knows his content is literally a sham, but he just doesn't care. PJW, you see, is a fake little cunt. Remember that every time you see anything he posts.
As for people on the Dissident Right, PJW is not your friend. He's just another parasite associating your already toxified and ghettoised message with blatant dishonesty and crude Putin shilling. Do you really think that's the way forward? Go say that to yourself in the mirror and see how stupid you look.

Russia did indeed have to invade Ukraine. Russians don’t want to be an American vassal like the UK; they want to be sovereign. All they are doing is reclaiming former Russian lands.
ReplyDeleteNo they didn't.
DeleteAll regions of Ukraine voted to leave Russia in a democratic referendum, and Ukrainians are Russians who just don't want to be ruled by Moscow, just as Americans and Australians are Brits who don't want to be ruled by London.
Also Putin shills have a double standard - "reclaiming muh Russian lands" while also insisting that Tartar, Chechen, Finnish, and other non-Russian lands remain in Russia.
How about Mongolia invades Moscow then to reclaim former mongolian lands you absolut brainlet. Even attempting this iredentist argument is so much more pathetic than just proclaiming that russia enforces its will on its surroundings like they always did.
DeleteI think he's just being dumb and lazy. I saw the tweet and thought, wtf, nobody would just place a billboard out there that says that; like I knew right away it wasn't real. And if it was intended to be meme, it's a fucking shitty meme. But I can imagine him seeing that, getting all riled up, and tweeting that out thinking it's legit. Or maybe he's being paid. I dunno.
