Russian media are describing protests in Los Angeles over immigration crackdowns and the deployment of the National Guard as "fighting, violence, and provocations." Some suggest a conspiracy is behind the demonstrations, while one compares it to "a war zone."

    A colour revolution sounds good about now. In reality, I highly doubt it’s going anywhere.

    In social media, Russian bots pretty much defend their online disinformation as revenge for stoking color revolutions. But I say to them, even if that is the case, what is wrong with promoting democracy? The Russian disinformation campaign is the reverse by stoking non-democratic ideals.

    Trump and Republicans are trying to paint the protests as chaos and a race war as well.

      Because they’ve been working to stir dissent in the US and it’s been their playbook since the late 90s

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foundations_of_Geopolitics

      Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal globalist Western hegemony, such as, for instance, provoke “Afro-American racists” to create severe backlash against the rotten political state of affairs in the current present-day system of the United States and Canada. Russia should “introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectariangroups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics”.

        I actually thought this was known since like before. I think the USSR had a plan on the US that hinged on attacking race relations

          I feel like it was probably more known when that book came out, but as social media basically enabled the KGB to do this cheap as fuck most people forgot, and the amount of people connecting “russia interfering with elections” to “russia attempting entire gameplan to destabilize the west over years and years” dropped drastically

      Gee, wonder why Poland would want to have a “color revolution” after decades of being under Moscow’s thumb?

      You know, the country Russia allied with literal Nazis to carve-up.

        This is about the United States and the idea of a color revolution is silly whenever it is brought up, in China/Russia that term is their blanket term for “the deep state”

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
