How interesting. Could you post some evidence? Thanks!



Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, so by that symmetry this shouldn’t require much evidence.


if something is repeated a lot, it doesn't make it true. Though it does make it more believable to common folk according to Goebbels https://www.azquotes.com/author/5626-Joseph_Goebbels


Russian fake news is widespread and easy to find. How can this be controversial, and even downvoted on HN of all places? Russian military shot down a plane full of politicians over Ukraine, and boldly lied about it in the international press. This is just one of literally hundreds of such instances. Russia has been caught numerous times trying to sway elections across the world. How on earth is “Russia whitewashes its name on wikipedia” needing substantiation? It seems obvious, even.


plane full of civilians you mean? plane full of politicians crashed over russian territory in 2010.


Also, Napoleon. Repetition is really effective.
