Paradoxes
Disinfolklore systems are structurally paradoxical. They require populations to believe opposites simultaneously: that Russia is both invincible and victimised; that Trump is both a strong man and a persecuted outsider; that vaccines cause the disease they prevent. These paradoxes are not bugs — they are features. Yet they also contain the seeds of the system’s destruction: the contradictions in Ruschist Disinfolklore will eventually jam up Ruschism itself.
