Is this stuff parody? I legitimately cannot tell anymore.

In response to a story about North Korea mobilizing troops. https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/1g50q25/north_korea_claims_mobilisation_of_14_million/
reality has not been a good partner for a long time now, and it's time to break up
Russia did this invasion to influence an election halfway around the world two years later
Putin is just playing 18d chess
The back of the random strategy game box you pick up and read at the local video game store in 2002:
Same people that think Russia started the refugee crisis so Europeans could be racist and vote for the far-right.
The Russians shit my pants!
This is unfortunately not a parody. I know a significant amount of people who truly, deeply believe this. They truly believe that Russia is simultaneously the puppetmaster behind all the world's evil and suffering and yet so incompetent as to be a failing state and laughing stock
Plenty of people I know personally believe Russia actually ordered the attacks on Israel specifically to distract the US and redirect weaponry from Ukraine to Israel
"The enemy is both too strong and too weak."
You've been talking to ur-fascists.
:(
Okay wait but Putin's birthday also being October 7 is some real 👁️ shit though
Who North Korea probably still thinks is a world super-power
This is just shitty world-building. Even if you believe North Korea is deeply weird prison country where people eat rats that eat people and push trains, the leadership knows what's going on in the world.
Any veil of intelligence this guy tried presenting went out the window with that comment.
Fifth grade level political analysis in a lib school
I remember as a kid when Saddam Hussein was bad, one of the propaganda things about him was in private he'd wear a cowboy hat and watch US movies. Like that's how they need to Portray Kim Jong-Un. Slipping out of his leader's uniform to put on baggy blue jeans and fire up MTV etc
so Russia is not a "world superpower" but can get all these other countries to do their bidding at the drop of a hat. which is it?
Americans are unfamiliar with “soft power.” For obvious reasons.
The enemy is both too strong and too weak
Well thank you for the replies. Suffice it to say, I am flabbergasted.
They just write little Tom Clancy stories in their heads
When I was in grade school I read a lot of Tom Clancy and spoiled the ending of debt of honour to my grade 5 teacher
I think he was part mad because I spoiled the ending and part mad that he was reading the same geopolitical thrillers as a 10 year old
He was right to be embarrassed
I was just about to say that this is like Tom Clancy but less grounded.
This is just liberal Qanon but for geopolitics.

I forgot we had a word for that already
Some days I kinda wish I were this stupid. Life would be a lot simpler if it obeyed baby-brain lib logic
Pretty awesome if Putin pulled this off. Would be the largest strategic victory for a US enemy since Osama Bin Laden made the empire kill itself with 9/11
It really is the lib version of chuds believing China sent the hurricane.
Massive dub for the puppetmaster
What is Hexbear take on the culture war being perpetrated by “outside influence” like Russia?
The rise of anti-trans/LGBT, anti-BLM discourse, all the MAGA culture war bullshit in recent years, seem to at least in part caused by agitation and stirred up by Russian chuds/pro-Putin agents to sow dissent amongst the American public.
Hey, this is a theory that I've never heard anywhere else. In full honesty, it doesn't seem true to me, I'm pretty sure Amerikkkans are just like that and the reactionary sentiment is homegrown, but I'd like to hear more from you about why you think the culture war has been stirred up by external forces, specifically Russia, if I'm reading your comment correctly.
Would you please say more about why you think reactionary discourse in Amerikkka is coming from external agitators? (Assuming you agree with that framing, if not, please tell me what I've misread.)
One of the recent Trueanon episodes covered this, where Russia has been caught trying to boost the right wing, pro-Trump platform Tenet Media featuring right wing influencers like Tim Pool and Dave Rubin.
And this is only the one that got caught and exposed. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Russia playing a large role behind agitating culture war in America. The MAGA Republican chud position is not that different from your average Russian these days.
Probably 99% of what you see online is homegrown. Russia sucks and I'm sure they are adding fuel to the fire with with bots and fake accounts (along with other crap like anti-vax nonsense), because the cost is trivial, but how does that stack up against the youtube and social media algorithms pushing those views to stir up "engagement"? King Bazinga bought a social media app specifically to promote that shit.
I'm an American. Nothing has changed accept that Trump is more flamboyant than your typical Republican presidential nominee. The insane culture war hysteria/ absolute lack of class conflict awareness is the same as it's always been. In fact, it's probably more subdued than it has been in previous decades. This is normal America.
Russia.
Russia invaded Ukraine blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah/blah blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah/blah, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah, blah blah blah (blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah) blah're blah blah blah blah blah blah- blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah's blah blah and sow chaos in hopes of getting Trump elected.

Pretty sure this is about an average amount of detachment from reality for a worldnews poster
This is What Radio Free Asia Actually Believes.
Liberal fanfiction, this is idealism in action.
Side note, for any DPRK-heads, is there actual risk of war with ROK? Seems to me DPRK is hunkering down after giving up on reconcilliation, not that they are escalating, it's my understanding that neither side wants war.
They're responding to a drone dropping propaganda on them last I heard and they blew up a roadway leading south. So there goes any real talks for now I'd imagine. Still SK are bastards for trying what they did.
They've also dissolved peace talk committees, to my knowledge, and are severing diplomatic ties. This to me seems more like hunkering down, you'd figure they would keep talks open during wartime as the goal would be to have favorable surrender conditions for the ROK to the DPRK. Just my uninformed guess, that's why I am asking if anyone knows more.
Pretty funny that someone with the username Jonestown_Juice is peddling Jim Jones style wackadoo theory
The News has such a toxic fanbase, they'll post their fics anywhere but Ao3
