I am to believe that the russian memo uses this line: “normal people who want to preserve traditions of the American way of life”? The american way is our propaganda papi, not theirs.
I’m slamming the “doubt” button over here
It’s written by Russian propaganda experts for US conservative readers. They know exactly how to speak like someone from the United States. It is their job and they are very, very good at it. Arguably, our discourse is the way it is because of these people.
Wait US readers were supposed to get this memo? I read it as a statement of purpose
Look on the crossposted post, this is straight from the department of justice website.
![Page 1 of Russia's "Guerrilla media campaign in the US" memo [Translated] Exhibit 9A(lemmy.blahaj.zone)](https://lemmy.blahaj.zone/pictrs/image/ebb9497d-458c-4982-a908-c40b0c70de47.webp){kind=link}
Can you link a site where I can find the original memo untranslated? Was it published alongside that PDF? I want to see how natural it sounds, how it fits the style that memo could’ve been written in and what it tells about the person who wrote it. I’d post my opinion about the original text back.
The crossposted post literally links to the original, which also contains a copy of the untranslated document
To be honest, that’s how trumpies are presented in internal russian propaganda. A lot of talking points, arguments and dogwhistles are mirrored between Fox and RT. I’d say, that in itself it’s the most shallow and stereotypical description one can produce.
Keeping that in mind, if that part is characterizing the baseline of what they should put into media, it kinda works? Imagine sitting in a cubicle, looking at it as a template before formulating another response, hanging it next to the monitor. It kinda fits the image of suspected 9\5 drone-farms called пятнадцатирублевые who spread ‘Truth, and nothing but Truth’.
