Thought-provoking piece. Are you saying there's a link between the misinformation going on about the war and companies likely to profit from it?You alluded to a link but didn't show it.

A separate segment shows companies profiting since the start of the Pandemic, not necessarily the war. One of the tweets featured alludes to profiting from the war, but cannot realistically be tracked. Thank you for reading, Ms. Abiola.

Great points about the end of consensus. I've seen quite a few smears directed at people who point out Putin's evil, but don't want to get dragged into WW3 over another foreign conflict. Nuance, it seems, doesn't exist anymore

The ghost of Kiev I had not heard about. Another great post Jim! Do you think at any point you may address how we counter or discern propaganda like the ghost of Kiev and the heroic 13? Good ol' "Dr." Bernays must be laughing from his grave.
