    Based on the evidence, I don't think Americans are paying to write on shells. I also don't believe that this is a Russian PSYOP since these actions't won't move the needle on the undecided.
    Based on the amount of Anime characters on the shells, It is possible that most of these shell designs are commissioned by internet edgelords.

      Its all about when prioritizing rights and freedoms becomes more about prioritizing national traditions which happen to be about rights and freedoms. And naturally nationalists who care about upholding traditions will feel positive about others of their own kind.

      If Trump tweeted tomorrow that russia is our enemy then all his followers would do a 180 degree turn on the issue. During his 1.5 years campaigning and 4 years as president DT trash talked every single leader of 1st world countries except Putin. Why is that? He insulted the leaders of countries we have almost no business with, and he insults gold star families and veterans, but wont say anything bad about Putin. Hmm.

    Yeah what Ryan says about "squishy people" is 100% right. Sometimes people ask why I put effort into engaging with or "debating" supporters of the aggressor state online. "You're not gonna change their minds," people say.
    Those people are right. But the point isn't to change the mind of the person I'm "debating". Online debates are read by many individuals. Some will already have their minds made up- but others will be undecided fence-sitters.
    Personally, I always have the fence-sitters in mind. They'll read what I post, and what my opponent posts, and whichever one of us comes off better, ostensibly, will affect the fence-sitter the most. Ideally.
    Squishy fence-sitters. They're the swing states of the internet.

      I do it for the same reason, but also to train my debating skills and as a kind of diary to document my state of mind at that time. It can be also fun, and I try to never insult people online, but rather be polite and respectful, and even more so when people are totally out of line. Sometimes it totally changes the tone of the discussion, sometimes it shuts it immediately down, and sometimes people totally freak out and expose very blatantly who they are, for everyone to see with high contrast. Showing works better than telling, I learned from raising kids.
      There is also another aspect: Because I don't want to embarrass myself, I do fact checks when I don't know the facts for sure, and when it comes to numbers and statistics, I check different sources and try to see what the upper and lower estimates are and use generally numbers in that range that favor my opponent, so serious people rarely dispute them.
      With the kind people living in an alternate reality I still try to understand where they are coming from and how they got there, and while often some kind of mental disorder is involved, minor to major, it is more often that many "normal" people lack the capacity, the skills, the time or the will to perform critical thinking and check sources, opening themselves up for manipulation. And it can happen to everyone - nobody is immune to manipulation, nobody is immune making huge errors in judgement, especially when it gets to topics like humans and politics.
      The scariest thing however is the sophistication of manipulation techniques that have been perfected by psychologists, salesmen and marketing companies, con-men and scammers, secret services, pick-up artists, leaders, politicians and the military. And today, with the internet, we live in a high-threat environment saturated with psychological attacks in order to use us and our resources for the benefit of the attacker or in other cases to incapacitate us psychologically or socially. Getting along is already hard enough without these attacks.
      In essence: Debating stuff helps to not become a victim in this high-threat environment called the internet, from cyberattacks on your brain. You really have to be careful with what you let in your brain, and for the sake of society even more careful with what you let out.

    My dad was a big reason why I always wanted to enlist and serve. He passed away just short of two years into my contract and for a while I struggled to function. I had great friends around me and a wife who supported me, helping me to get through those times. Exactly a year later we were out training and on the anniversary of his death I decided to commemorate him by writing his name on a 155, with other guys in my section signing it. Last round in the fire mission I loaded the round with so much passion it bounced off the loading tray and took the nose cover off lol. Loaded it back up (with chiefs permission because I didn’t know if it was fireable after that), went over to pull the lanyard and watched it fly for as long as I could see it. To me it was symbolizing me finally letting go of his passing and accepting he was gone. I believe he would’ve appreciated the gesture, because he was always proud of his boys service to their country and continuing the family tradition. That is a good example of writing something on a round. These are not good examples in this video. You don’t make political or ideological statements with devices of war, the two simply don’t belong together.

    Grishaputin, didn’t imagine I’d see him on this channel.
    Grisha or known by his handle grishaputin, was a Hoi4 streamer / youtuber who when the war in Ukraine started, aligned himself with pro-Russian beliefs and joined the Wagner as some sort of propaganda streamer since he was too young to serve.
    He streamed Hoi4 playing mods simulating Russia defeating Ukraine in a modern day conflict in some Wagner base.
    All of this meant he was effectively cut off from people who he formerly collaborated with within the Hoi4 community, he was ostracized and most paradox / Hoi4 creators who have collaborated with him do not view him favorably anymore.
    Grisha ended up crying on stream when he learned that prighozin had died, with prighozin gone, I believe his ‘employment’ at Wagner was jeopardized and I believe he no longer ‘works’ for them.
    Being too young to partake in the war, he recently tried to undertake police (or fsb? Or omon??) training but failed the physical examination.
    I believe he was born in 2006, and if he is now 18, he can enlist in the Russian military if he chooses to do so. Although he may try and avoid entering the conflict seeing as his attempt to join the police may have been an attempt to avoid being drafted.

    An elaboration on the "squishy people": as Ryan says, the point isn't to radicalise the die-hards.
    Die-hards are a) way less numerous than they sound (usually, at least) and b) hard to radicalise again in another direction, in other words it's less bang for buck of effort.
    Instead, radicalise the moderates because a) if you don't do it your opponents will, b) the moderates are (usually, at least) the majority of the population so they *can* if moved, push the needle, and c) radicalising them is much cheaper bang per buck of effort wise, because they oppose much less resistance than the die-hards.

    If anyone wants to know about the guy who posted the photo (Grisha Putin):
    He is/was a pretty significant Hearts of Iron 4 streamer (I'm not sure if he still plays the game) who used to collab with Bokoen1 and friends a lot (Bokoen1 being a Danish streamer who mostly streams HOI4), but after the war started, Grisha basically went full Vatnik (he even began working with the Wagner Group), and was basically using the game as propaganda (he even uploaded a few videos to his RUclips channel). Bokoen1 cut ties with Grisha because of this.
    Last year, he got banned on Twitch (he was banned 3 times in 2023; his 3rd, current ban is one I'm inclined to say is permanent, given that Twitch cracked down against pro-Russian streamers on the site), which made him so upset that he called for the Russian government to ban Twitch in retaliation (his requests fell on deaf ears). He later got hit with a DMCA from Paradox Interactive (the developers of Hearts of Iron 4, as well as a bunch of other strategy games).

    Based on the evidence, I don't think Americans are paying to write on shells. I also don't believe that this is a Russian PSYOP since these actions't won't move the needle on the undecided.
    Based on the amount of Anime characters on the shells, It is possible that most of these shell designs are commissioned by internet edgelords.

    Slight correction: The ultimate goal of a psyop is to change the behavior of the target audience. While usually shaping the emotions, attitudes, understanding, beliefs of the target audience plays into changing a behaviour it's not always the case. We do not care what the target audience feels or thinks because 1) it is difficult to measure/asses and 2) it offers no advantage to us. Sure the target audience loves us but does that mean they're gonna get out of the way when our tanks roll through the street? All this is based on US doctrine and perhaps other countries have different doctrinal views of psyop.

    • @alaskamark4562

      "Psyop" is a silly made-up word for "influence" that was invented by paranoid weirdos. A "psy-operative" is just an influencer, essentially everyone who makes any sort of claim on the internet could be viewed as conducting a "psyop" or influencing their audience, whether they're some secret agent propagandist or a random Joe. So talking about the "goals of psyops" seems kind of pointless to me, the goal is to influence people, it's not very complicated.
