ChicoSuave , in Page 1 of Russia's "Guerrilla media campaign in the US" memo [Translated] Exhibit 9A

Lots of pro-russian votes and opinions in this thread. Revealing a damning piece of evidence about overt Russian interference in the American election is generating a lot of “I’m not sure that’s real” when it clearly is. That’s Russian interference working on this social platform. God knows how much it is perpetrated on larger platforms.

OP, thank you for painting this. It clearly is upsetting the Russian disinformation trolls. More please!

There are some inconvenient truths in that document, that’s why some people don’t want to believe.

Juice , in Page 1 of Russia's "Guerrilla media campaign in the US" memo [Translated] Exhibit 9A

This is actually kind of a dogshit analysis of US political climate. What is this used for? Is it just like training materials for supposed Russian bots? Its interesting to speculate why an org producing these materials would represent specifically these views. How and why the analysis is skewed is interesting to look into. The racism and otherizing is like bubbling underneath every statement, while it accuses the US system of being otherizing (which it is) and racist (which it is but in some different ways.)

Another thing I want to mention is like, so the Russians have all these keyboard warriors who they pay to boost certain views, and react to various positions in different ways, but what happens when these people stop getting paid? When they go home, etc., do they just stop believing these things? Its not just influencing elections or whatever, its also conditioning like hundreds or thousands of people through online encounters and real life salaries. Like I bet they have a supervisor that approves their responses and maybe pays a bonus if they are “in compliance” with the standard or whatever, very common among call center work, I imagine bot-net work would be almost identical.

I myself don’t find quirks indicative of how russian army men speak, or how real translators would put it.

Radium stands for radically yummy

toynbee ,

Makes one wonder about the content of that “Radium Girls” book.

nokturne213 ,

It is based on real people. Those girls are why many of the labor laws we have in the US exist.

CitizenKong ,

And their jaws literally desintegrated. And they still had to fight for their bosses to change anything. Also, the non-toxic alternative was only slightly more expensive.

nokturne213 ,

Radium paint was used on watches into the 70s despite what happened to the radium girls in the 20s-30s.

Davel23 ,

I always buy Ray-D-YUM brand radium!

That story is a wild ride.

Maeve ,

If by that you mean, "wtf?!" I agree.

Gork , in A Man Drank So Much Radium His Skull Literally Disintegrated

This is some Fallout Nuka-Cola shit.

shalafi ,

These kinds of stories are exactly where Fallout themes came from.

My high school drama group did Radium Girls last year. Really good play, the movie is mediocre though. Check out a production if you get a chance.

Maeve ,

I read about it several years ago. It's fascinating and sad

OR3X , in A Man Drank So Much Radium His Skull Literally Disintegrated

I cannot imagine the pain of your fucking skull disintegrating.

TachyonTele ,

“His head was swathed in bandages. He had undergone two successive operations in which his whole upper jaw, excepting two front teeth, and most of his lower jaw had been removed. All the remaining bone tissue of his body was slowly disintegrating, and holes were actually forming in his skull.”.

Not just his skull, too. That’s horrifying.

SpaceNoodle ,

Jaws are part of the skull

nokturne213 ,

The jaw is part of the skull, still horrifying though, hard agreement there.

TachyonTele ,

Thank you for the agreement. But next time read the entire reply before trying to correct someone.

BlorpTheHagraven ,

People out here skimming

TachyonTele ,

Motherfuckers trying to skim uphill.

Greee1911 ,

Wonder if it destroyed his nerve ending at the same rate. One can only hope.

yesman , in A Man Drank So Much Radium His Skull Literally Disintegrated

yesman: please write a short response to this article in the voice of a libertarian

GPT: sure, I’ll be happy to do that:

Just another case of power hungry government trying to tell citizens what they’re allowed to do with their own body. They killed a whole industry just because one guy had a side-effect.

Oh look at that, it has the same opinion of the media as that MBFC bot.

RvTV95XBeo , (edited ) in Page 1 of Russia's "Guerrilla media campaign in the US" memo [Translated] Exhibit 9A

Really glad they redacted “US Political Party A” and “US Political Party B”. I for one am completely stumped as to which parties they could be referring.

Juice ,

It was the green party and the libertarian party I thibk
