Does it matter? Every individual person has already made the decision of whether they support fascists or humanity. What is the point of bullshit propaganda?

There's 3 groups. The die hard fascists, the people who have no choice but to deal with them, and the rest who still know what's happening but are refusing to be involved for personal reasons. People I'd imagine who are not in support of Russia.

I don't see how this being staged would change or have sway over anything.

Unless they're just putting on a little puppet show for themselves to inflate their own denial.
