This is correct. However, the further narrative (that seems to be emanating from the left behind on TWTR) that the world at large is about to eagerly line up to get double-stuffed mega-ultra-downbad-cucked by both the Yuan and Ruble by accepting them as their chosen “new global reserve currency(ies)” is even more ridiculous.

Fiat-fiat currency competition (if it could ever really be called that) is now irrelevant and obsolete. Even many bitcoiners still seems to miss this. #Few

The narrative is coming 100% from the right and amplified by the usual pro-Putin shills. Unless you're telling me that Robert Kiyosaki, for instance, is "the Twitter left".

I wouldn't say it's only the right

As a point of origin, absolutely. Just track down all this "BRICS" nonsense that has suddenly sprouted everywhere.

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.
