Lisa of Vinnytsia

Russian Disinfolklorists went to work as soon as news of the killing reached the network. Some celebrated the wizardry of Russian missile technology. Others promoted the message that Lisa never existed. Some Russian consumers of Disinfolklore would feel enjoyment about one of their missiles striking what they’re told was a military target. They are predisposed to believe that in the Outer Realm everyone works together to lie about Russia and impugn it with the blame for inhumane actions. By contrast, in the Inner Realm of civilised Europe, those who are paying attention experience immense sadness at Lisa’s death.

The same photograph, the same missile, the same child — but two completely different realities constructed by competing Inner/Outer Realm frames.
