Disinfolklore as Step-Change Over Previous Propaganda

Disinfolklore is a hyper-modern (too much, and never enough!) form of brainwashing first tried and tested by Russia in Russia-occupied Ukraine and inside the MAGA cult inside America after 2014. Disinfolklore is a step-change advance over previous epochs’ propaganda techniques. This is partly because of the new means of propagating memes and getting them inside our heads which are available today that were never available before — the Internet and our physical mobility due to social customs, and modern means of transport. It is also because of the intentionality and global-scale ambition of Russian and MAGA Disinfolklorists — they want to occupy all of humanity’s minds, not just those confined to particular geographical spaces.
