On social media, the “Ghost of Kyiv” was a military hero, an ace fighter pilot hailed for supposedly shooting down multiple Russian planes. The tales began just days into the war and circulated for months, bolstered by official Ukrainian accounts.
fucking r/aviation, which is supposedly a serious sub about aircrafts was riddled with posters of Ghost of Kiyv. You could say maybe the average joe might not understand why Ghost of Kyiv story is bullshit, but aviation nuts on r/aviation? Really?
You are absolutely right, this is not mere denial. The people who do this know it’s bullshit, they do it anyway. This has a name. It’s called propaganda. All these people are knowingly and deliberately participating in creating a fake alternate reality via propaganda. It’s some real dystopian shit.
