    This is deliberate, nation-state-sponsored disinformation not insane people though.

      Not every crazy pro-Russian conspiracy is a Russian psy-op.

        But this one fits too well into their narrative to be accidental.

          Which narrative is that? “Putin is a hero?” Because other than that, I’m not seeing a narrative.

            The Western elites are trans dimensional space vampires that eat children and Great Leader Putin bravely fights for “traditional values” or some shit. Basically the whole QAnon, Alex Jones type idiocy.

              That sounds like an American narrative, not a Russian one.

                The American narrative is the Russian narrative. It’s obvious propaganda.

                  Okay, now you’re coming up with a conspiracy theory to explain why this isn’t a conspiracy theory.

                  The adrenachrome thing came from Q, who was not Russian but the father and son team of Jim and Ron Watkins, and they bastardized it from Hunter S. Thompson’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

                  No Russians were necessary here. Just crazy people.

            I still stand by the assertion that the “good guy Putin” part of the narrative is no accident.

              Because crazy right-wing people don’t think Putin is a good guy who does heroic things? Only Russian operatives think that? Seems like a waste of said operatives in that case.
