Fluorescent Dye

Such unrealistic and contrary to lived experience stereotyping runs through Russian Disinfolklore like a fluorescent dye. Those of us who become literate in the Disinfolklore analytical method for parsing disinformation, can detect when we’re being trolled, beyond all reasonable doubt, even when we’re unaware of the facts of a specific episode. In the case of the Cut Into Tiny Pieces episode, it was the folkloric echoes and the stereotypical portrayals which convinced me, beyond all reasonable doubt, that I, my manager and my organisation was being trolled. However, recognition is one matter, while working out how to respond is quite another! Seeing Disinfolklore is no guarantee of knowing how to react to it.
