Meta-Disinfolklore (5) - How "Separatism" Concealed Genocide.

Mechanics of Stealth Genocide.

How did Ruschia hide a genocide in plain sight and confuse highly educated and well-meaning policy makers, diplomats, and ordinary people?

This is the main question http://www.disinfolklore.net deals with. You won’t be surprised by the one word answer to this question: Disinfolklore. Disinfolklore is how you conceal a wolf in a sheep’s clothing. Disinfolklore is how you pull the wool over people’s eyes. Stealth genocide is impossible, without Disinfolklore.

Linguistic memes like "Separatism" are a key element in Ruschists' arsenal of Disinfolklore that has concealed genocide in Ukraine for eight years.

What do we call Ukrainians who, for whatever reason, end up supporting the occupation?

Collaborators works quite well for those Ukrainians who, for whatever reason, end up trying to advance Ruschia's "interests" in Ukraine. This covers Ukrainians brain-washed or coerced into fighting inside the Ruschist Army.

When we use terms like "DPR militia" instead of "Ruschist Army" we're falling for a Ruschist troll.

"Pro-Russia" and "Separatist," I now understand, are terms forged by Ruschist Disinfolklorists to entrap us inside their attempt to distract and confuse.

Ruschia's been an occupying force in Ukraine since March 2014, within the meaning of the 1949 Geneva Convention.

"Separatism" in Ukraine was invented in Ruschia, inside the Internet Research Agency, and transmitted into minds across the world to deter support for Ukraine's exercise of its inherent right to self defence. This is why I've come to understand the Wanger Chef as the "Chef Saucerer."

To mainstream audiences the Chef Saucerer is only known through grainy footage from (supposedly) Bakhmut. These same observers may not realise his "Sauce" (according to a thorough report by the House Intelligence Committee) interfered in 2016 presidential election.

But Wanger's greatest feat was Ukraine: brainwashing Ukrainians in occupied Ukraine into becoming Other, and feeling they had no choice other than to take up arms against their fellow Ukrainians as part of Ruschia's occupying forces. As a diplomat working in eastern Ukraine (including occupied Ukraine from 2015-2018), I had a front-row seat from which to witness this process. Thus Disinfolklore!

It's an extremely clever troll with many layers (e.g. Ruschist occupiers including Putin modelled disgust at being called "Separatists" (in their Disinfolklore Ukraine's rightful government are the "separatists")). Nonsense, of course, according to the standard of international law, which is why by mocking and thwarting international law as “Western culture” at every turn, Ruschist Disinfolklore advances its own programme of turning the world upside down.

Yet, they also promote and relish the designation. This is clear even in the transcript of Putin's call with Macron on 20 Feb 2022 (https://twitter.com/decodingtrolls/status/1544256415824494593?s=46&t=81-juj3KRrQ3LkTprqjbAg).

I call this "Burrito" trolling. It's a classic Ruschist disinfo move. Ruschia creates the reality "separatism." Then, it wraps up anti-reality (separatists' opposition to being called separatists) like cheese inside the burrito.

Even @EmmanuelMacron and his ingenue advisers fall for it. Macron used the term "Separatist" to needle Putin in their 20th Feb 2022 call.

Putin repeatedly uses the term "separatist" (he's programming Macron). But then when Macron uses the term to needle Putin, Putin responds thus:

"Putin (still very annoyed): "Listen to me carefully. Do you hear me? I'll say it again. The separatists, as you call them,"

Putin pretends to be needled, but really is aroused that Ruschist nomenclature is being adopted by Macron. Putin's aim of propagating Ruschist Disinfolklore perspective on its unlawful occupation succeeds: The French president is referring to Ruschist occupiers as "Separatists."

Ruschia's "Separatism" troll in Ukraine did not work as Ruschia's strategy in Bosnia in the early 1990s worked. Ukrainians did not turn against their neighbours on a mass scale as Bosnians did.

Of billions of such moments as we can witness in that transcript of Macron's call with Putin, Ruschia managed to conceal its genocide in plain sight.
