That explains why I don’t seem to notice Chinese trolls here. Chinese trolls are more direct and less subtle. They are always reactionary to comments and their responses to criticisms are always PR-sounding. At least that’s my experience in Reddit.
Russian trolls, meanwhile, I have to say they are more clever because they always pretend to be from another country. But with the flailing invasion of Ukraine, they have become increasingly less subtle than before and don’t even hide it.

You don’t have to like or respect the lackey you hire to get a job done.

Basically they are only for outside propaganda. They dont want their psy ops become known for inlanders.

Then people there could say “That’s not what it’s like here at all” and suddenly propaganda debunked.
.mls absolutely depend on the epistemic bubble to create a void of knowledge that they can fill with their BS. Anything that says anything bad about the PRC is “western propaganda.” All their sources are PRC propaganda, but since it’s non-western they claim that makes it valid.
