#that awkward moment when your media company is buddy buddy with war criminals

So recently I spoke with my little brother who lives in Russia. We started talking politics, and then he dropped a bombshell - apparently, putin’s pet pigs translate and broadcast Fox News and Daily Wire to the already mindfucked public. I nearly had a heart attack when I heard him drop Ben Shapiro’s name
And, like a good big brother, I took immediate action to inoculate my baby sibling against this particular strain of brain rot (just in case, healthcare is important). Any chance at establishing decorum that Benny had was demolished the moment I brought up the endless amount of cringe he delivered throughout his unfortunate career. That WAP incident works as good as PrEP in terms of preventative measures
On a more serious note, keep in mind that both Fox and DW have such a great, flourishing relationship with a literal genocidal dictator that their content is translated and distributed through Russian networks. They snuck their way into an already polluted environment like that species of brain eating bacteria that folks had found in Texan lake
As a sweet cherry on top of this shit sundae, when my brother was talking about Carlson he said that:
1) his perpetually confused face was funny as fuck, just like his boner for the green M&M’s candy
2) his (and Ben’s) obsession with trans people is absolutely unhinged
3) he was creeped out by republican hyperfixation on guns
Kind of soothing to know that republican cringe is so off putting to non-Americans that propaganda becomes literally indigestible. Though to be fair, it’s not like any of these animated Madame Tussaud’s wax figures are capable of winning over my Marxist brother. Boy’s been reading leftist literature since he was in middle school
