Eh I don’t know man, to say it’s an uptick in Putin/Xi-prop feels correct to me. To say that this is coming exclusively from the Right strikes as a bit off (even if I’m initially included to agree).

If only because 1) we KNOW that Putin and Xi prop reach defies L/R western politics and will wriggle its tendrils into any fertile soil it finds and 2) because my personal Twitter feed is highly exposed to Bitcoin Twitter which I do believe, presently, has a Right leaning slant (though I think that may well change in the next two cycles), so I don’t know what narratives are being pushed from whom beyond what I can see. In other parts of the Twittersphere, similar messages may be bubbling up from “Left” figures…

If Russian and Chinese internet prop operations are any good (and I believe they are), I would wager that this is the case.
