Is agitprop even worth it? I got 3 dislikes and a comment saying "I FOUND ONE" as if I'm some pokemon in under 5 minutes. What could have been done better to persuade more and spark genuine discussion? I'm new to agitprop, so any advice helps especially if it's coming from experience.

Can't answer that question, sorry, but I wanna say thank you for that comment. It actually helped me myself getting familiar on the actual nuances of contemporary global (and especially NATO-EU aligned) geopolitics, being a resident of both (hooray for joining NATO without any kind of real voting or polling), and also you taught me a new word (agitprop) the meaning of which I also now know. All in all wouldn't really bother with the agitprop necessarily myself, but 5/5 for the effort.

Haha, thanks. Really appreciate that. I was aiming to actually teach something, so I'm glad I did even though it wasn't necessarily as planned .

I also found this really helpful, thank you. I think many people struggle with accepting that we are subject to Western propaganda, and that we're not smarter than the average russian citizen just because we're outside of Russia. Acknowledging this is not the same as agreeing with Russia.

I don't like the Russian government. I don't like the British or American government either.
