Is it just me, or is there a distinct lack of subtlety in right wing propaganda campaigns recently?

Fediverse vs Disinformation

Pointing out, debunking, and spreading awareness about state- and company-sponsored astroturfing on Lemmy and elsewhere. This includes social media manipulation, propaganda, and disinformation campaigns, among others.
Propaganda and disinformation are a big problem on the internet, and the Fediverse is no exception.
What's the difference between misinformation and disinformation? The inadvertent spread of false information is misinformation. Disinformation is the intentional spread of falsehoods.
By equipping yourself with knowledge of current disinformation campaigns by state actors, corporations and their cheerleaders, you will be better able to identify, report and (hopefully) remove content matching known disinformation campaigns.

What the fuck is this outdated "third world" term?
Switzerland was neutral during the Cold War so are y'all banning the Swiss from immigrating?
Russia is technically 2nd world, so they're fine?
What is this dumb terminology lmfao.
Okay I think they meant "developing countries".
But why would someone from a developed region such as the EU immigrate to the US? The only reason why someone would want to come is because their country is already terrible and they want to take a risk, but if you ban them from coming, then you have zero immigration and your country collapses due to insufficient workers. Lol, dumbass politicians.
Its the way they refer to poor nonwhite countries.
Developing works too, kind of.
Low income / high income is the most neutral way to frame it.
