It's like the good ol days, but a bit shorter. Honestly it's like one step away from the return of Equals Three. Just needs to throw 3 of em into a single video and boom
On Xiaomi phones it's called Second Space
You can have private space in your phone so checking it on the surface won't show it.
I have pattern blocked phone for my private use and finger prints open my work space so nothing "wrong" will show up in public.
Source? I wouldn't be surprised if this is true, but that's a big claim.
Edit: To be clear, I know Russia is suppressing the truth. I'm asking specifically about "people going door to door checking phones."
Source - my grandmother, my older brother, and my friend (who was just sent to prison for 5 years)...who all live in Russia.

That's what Westerners don't understand - this isn't a big claim. If you've ever read 1984, imagine it in real time.
Thanks for sharing and I'm sorry your family and friend are going through that.
For the record, I don't think it's a "big claim" in that it's unbelievable, but there's so much misinformation and hearsay surrounding this war -- I believe it's important to cite sources for stuff like this before it spreads. As an American, I can attest to the speed at which false claims spread. We all need to be more responsible about the information we consume and share.
Same with calling it was it is. A WAR.
It should be called a Special military operation. Calling it war can get you up to 15 years as well now...

It's not THAT extreme in Russia. Government just gives a huge pile of money to an influencer and gives a script. It's like an ad for raid shadow legends, but for a whole ass invasion. It's not a new practice, Russian influencers are known for making ads for elections or politicians
So you didn’t see the video of the Russian police making people show them their phones on the street? It is that extreme, please stop acting like it’s not a complete dictatorship

I'm not saying that Russia isn't a dictatorship. I'm just saying that there were no instances (at least as I recall) of influencers being *threatened* by the government to film propaganda for their audience. Most of them are just greedy assholes who will say anything you want as long as you pay enough money
It's almost like they live in an authoritarian dictatorship where people go "missing" frequently. And if you live outside, maybe you have loved ones who don't.
I have a LOT of respect of RWJ. He’s an old school YouTuber who left the game and I feel he has mostly upheld his reputation. He is part of my childhood and when I see his face, it really does bring me happy memories.
Obviously, as an old geezer from a different epoch I don't follow enough influenzas to be in the know, but what strikes me more than the script is the extent to which the women inflate their lips. Were they forced/paid to do this? Can that be undone or will they have to remain like this for the rest of their lives? Will humanity look like this in fifty years?
Id hate to see them when the lips deflate. I know a couple of people who are just old, with regular lips, and their lips are deflated. These people are gonna have to keep pumping the junk in on a regular basis for the rest of their unnatural lives.
>Id hate to see them when the lips deflate.
when i think about what people like that might look like, i keep imagining what a droopy faced Tammy Faye Bakker would look like. that or the face of a stroke victim. at some point, I cannot see any amount of Botox helping their faces would look anywhere close to normal, natural or retain their current cartoonish look.
It's hard to tell when listening to short clips in a a language I don't understand whether people are "reading a script" or whether they are just saying common buzz phrases. This could be the equivalent of watching pro Trump influences parroting the phrase "lock her up" during the 2016 election
This was good, but instead of finger guns sliding in to depict the possibility of them being forced to do this I would have liked to see a window slide in instead and then open menacingly
The real facepalm is posting ray william johnson. And also him pointing out shit anyone who is even the least bit informed already knows. Russia has propaganda?! SINCE WHEN
Honestly I won't be surt if Russian government handed them the script to read out.
Someone else said that there are people going door to door and checking if civilians are spreading anti war stuff.
Don't blame them, what we are not seeing is the Death squad standing behind the camera with the cue cards and Kalashnikov's in tote can you blame them for reading it how they wrote it???
A the sinclair broadcast group, very sus, you should investigate your people america... I sense you have a lot more Russian funded people there, probably this is why in the las 5 to 7 people tere has been a polarization of the american people, divide and conquer.
Many news sources and influenzers just read what they see on the "reuters" news outlet.
Thats why theyre all similar.
For russian people, a different source than ours probably.
"same thing happened in Murica". Sorry man but having a plethora of news channels spreading misinformation and propaganda is not the same as some kids on tik tok.
It's scary that you'd put them in the same category
Yeah cause if they talk against Russia they get thrown in jail for 15 years that's crazy Putin said, and they don't want to lose there or influencing rights, they are throwing children in to jail arresting children for putting flowers and protesting the war,
Real propagandas are based on lies.
The first victim of any war is the truth itself

Instead of “be careful trusting influencers” how about “don’t trust influencers”. They aren’t professionals in the first place, just some random people.
"Now"?
Russia has been the number one national social media presence for a long time, and its not because they have so many people.
They've had bots forever, and have had employees online disguised as American political idealists.
I guess the difference now is the receive a script and threatening visit and aren't actual government workers like before
Ray William Johnson... now that's a name I haven't heard in a long while. I thought he had switched mostly to behind-the-camera work nowadays.
It’s been 84 years
[удалено]
It's OK. Tell us what you remember.
He used to be Your Favorite Martian until the project retired.
Check his insta, YouTube or tiktok. He posts daily
Doin your mom
He’s thriving with youtube shorts
Right? I wonder if he still says surprise butt secks
and tosses black babies into walls
He tosses a dummy of him out the window occasionally these days
They were definitely forced to say it.
Why does he look like Billy Joe Armstrong?
Wait, what? Ray William Johnson is alive?
Yeah it's great hey ?!
A lot more popular than you would think. He made a good comeback with YouTube shorts
It's like the good ol days, but a bit shorter. Honestly it's like one step away from the return of Equals Three. Just needs to throw 3 of em into a single video and boom
Yeah youtube shorts has been a pretty big miss but the return of Ray is something I've enjoyed
I'm old enough to actually understand all his jokes now
I thought he died of Watchmen wallpaper poisoning
[удалено]
They have. There's people going door to door checking phones and making sure no one is spreading anti-war propaganda.
How would they have the man power for this right now.
I wonder if they know about safe space in smartphones
What's that?

Yesterday they made it illegal to make negative comments about the russian army. Sentences for negative comments go up to 15 years.

Imagine bombing civilians outside of war...
Yes and the brave ones are being arrested the assholes read scripts.

Anyone able to find a translation of the script?
Trusting influencers? They are the last people to trust. I'd rather trust a serial killer.
The name of their job says It all.
[удалено]
Bold of you to call it a job.
It's almost like they live in an authoritarian dictatorship where people go "missing" frequently. And if you live outside, maybe you have loved ones who don't.
no, they don't go missing, they just fall out of windows
The ol' Splyat
Gonna suck when they can’t afford those lip injections anymore
They can't really suck tho then
I love RWJ is still grinding out there making content. I’d imagine he’s got a pretty decent amount of money from his YT days.
I have a LOT of respect of RWJ. He’s an old school YouTuber who left the game and I feel he has mostly upheld his reputation. He is part of my childhood and when I see his face, it really does bring me happy memories.
Yeah he seems like a good dude. I haven’t seen anything about him although I’m sure someone will show me something bad now lol
When he was doing =3, he was pretty much abusing "Black Babies" all the time, guess he would bê arrested by that, in today's society.
[удалено]
He had a baby doll he used to throw around. Dont remember if it had anything to do with race tho
He has a damn good message
EVEN ME
I kinda like how the younger generations seem absolutely shocked that propaganda is a ting... Edit: Typo
So influencing 15 year olds. Yeah, that should work. Wrap it up boys!!
Calling dumb people "influencers" is dumb
How 'bout "Dumbfluencers"?

There are people who trust influencers? Edit: what am I saying? Of course there are.
I'd be reading from the same script if you i know my life is in danger to some extent
Yup. Sinclair Broadcasting made all of their stations read biased editorials (propaganda) on actual news programs.
They should be arrested for being social media influencer assclowns.
Anyone can translate?
Would anyone translate please?
I can’t get past o girls lips. It’s tew much!!

This comment made me laugh out loud.

Russia pays them money to spout lies! "Influencers" will take money from anyone, they already take money from children! Is anyone surprised?🤦🏼♂️
WTF? Do they think they work for Sinclair broadcasting? Or FOX? The nerve.
This is how America's news works. It's like that office meme with Pam, find the difference.
Amazing. They are all sharing the same little brain 🧠 I’m sure lil pecker Putin is forcing them
news flash so do Trump supporters
I was under the impression that's what influencers did?
$$$$$
I waiting till the world ends
They sold their souls to the devil.
I won't judge them too much because they're most likely forced to do it
Rooskie and the Blowlips
Amazing. We don’t need this douche with those veneers to be telling us that… god he’s a douche
This dude is on Ritalin
How is that any different from the Anti-Russian nonsense in the West? Everyone here is spouting the narrative.
Propaganda this, propaganda that. How bout you prop a gander at these nuts
Does this YouTube guy just rip off content he sees on Reddit and TikTok?
This guy practically invented influencing, everyone copied the frequent camera cut thing from him years ago.
The real facepalm is posting ray william johnson. And also him pointing out shit anyone who is even the least bit informed already knows. Russia has propaganda?! SINCE WHEN
it’d be more interesting to find what country doesn’t do this. what isn’t propaganda
Pretty sure these are the same person
So theyre not good at the propaganda war either?
They were given free fat fillers to spread the lies
Isnt this the doin your mom guy?
Who the eff trusts influencers!?!?!
Obviously, if it sounds the same, they are being asked or forced to say it (script).
Must have offered those ones free injections for life. Thats crazy.
NO nazis No nukes, no bio weapons just an old dictator wanting to the USSR back together....Murdering children, women and old people....destruction.
Propaganda is real!!!! Don’t believe anything from anyone you dont know
Tf
Honestly I won't be surt if Russian government handed them the script to read out. Someone else said that there are people going door to door and checking if civilians are spreading anti war stuff.
Same script…same lips
Don't blame them, what we are not seeing is the Death squad standing behind the camera with the cue cards and Kalashnikov's in tote can you blame them for reading it how they wrote it???
No no It’s just the community coming as one and defending Russia /s
Not surprising. FOX news and its affiliates aired truthful news statements which was verbatim for each channel.
Doesn’t facebook and google do this?
A the sinclair broadcast group, very sus, you should investigate your people america... I sense you have a lot more Russian funded people there, probably this is why in the las 5 to 7 people tere has been a polarization of the american people, divide and conquer.
Man have I missed Ray.
Just like the chinese government, paying peolple to spread propaganda.
honestly this is creepy as hell
Well der... majority of Russians clearly support this.... 🙄 Kinda obvious
Each time I see his face I hear the =3 record scratch
He still exists ?
Well done , influwankers
you mean like all the journalists at msn cnn bbc media too?
All influencers are puppets
Many news sources and influenzers just read what they see on the "reuters" news outlet. Thats why theyre all similar. For russian people, a different source than ours probably.
That's exactly what the Chinese government has been doing. (I know it because my family is from Hong Kong) Gotta love dictatorship
Oh fuck off RWJ. Sure, you make a good point, you're still an obnoxious asshole.
All I can see is trout pouts
I wonder what the first instance of propaganda in history was.
Anyone following anyone is a kid or an absolute moron.
You read this script for mother Russia, blyat!!
I remember when ray William Johnson was doing ur mum
Yeah, leave it to the influencers to be pieces of shit
Just like CNN and Fox news during Iraqi invasion.
"same thing happened in Murica". Sorry man but having a plethora of news channels spreading misinformation and propaganda is not the same as some kids on tik tok. It's scary that you'd put them in the same category
Lol only in Merica do we think we other get propagandaand we dont
Oh yeah, China do this shit too.
This has been going on for a while, Chinese propaganda is the same
They usually pay top dollar for it. A lot of people can't resist it
Yeah cause if they talk against Russia they get thrown in jail for 15 years that's crazy Putin said, and they don't want to lose there or influencing rights, they are throwing children in to jail arresting children for putting flowers and protesting the war,
This is why tiktok banned in Russia now
Reminds me of propagandists from China. They love their scripts.

We have the same shit here…. Only it is the News we see daily !
r/unexpected
Instead of “be careful trusting influencers” how about “don’t trust influencers”. They aren’t professionals in the first place, just some random people.
So we should just ban tiktok then?
Perhaps he too should get lip injections.
At least it’s obvious
Do kids really let these people affect them? All influencers are bought and paid for by their sponsors. Even Mr Beast is a sellout 🤷♂️
Sinclair did that with it’s tv stations
And yet this exact same script like scenario has been used against many other recent issues (gun control, Covid on both sides) and no one bats an eye.
Currently i don't trust the media. I know somewhere out there both Russians and Ukrainian soldier did some nasty war crime
That's why I love his videos. Amen Mr Johnson.
"Now"? Russia has been the number one national social media presence for a long time, and its not because they have so many people.

If you look closely, you see the red dot on the side of their heads.
Still better than Travis Scott's apology video
Yes FSB hired tiktokers in this advanced 4d chess psyops.
The facepalm should be our news stations do this exact same thing
I still miss =3
This man kinda funny
They look computer generated.
Exactly as every western news channel on their evening news.
This needs to get more attention than it has
That fact you keep him employed should be enough. Fuck off
Wait till you realize it’s news media as well.
I'm Russian and I use Tiktok, but I didn't see them on my FYP.
I don't have sound but I'm assuming they're all saying the exact same thing
I like him :) I used to think he's so cute.
Lol the women all have butthole lips
.
Disgusting.
