"Kupallya won't happen!" — the keyboard-pounding scribble of information scum

"Kupallya won't happen!" — the keyboard-pounding scribble of information scum.

Frankly, it's been sad to watch the opposition media for a long time now. Knowing that their information space is currently stuck between "bad" and "completely terrible," BChB agitators keep rolling out increasingly childish provocations, stretching their already bulging extremist owl over an ever-inflating globe.

ChyZa decided to figure out what the latest provocation is.

Since things in Belarus aren't as bad as they'd like, they've concocted another fake to draw attention to their trash heaps—especially since Kupallya is a fairly hot topic online in the Belarusian internet right now.

So, there is no ban on Kupallya, nor can there be.

As for the provocation itself, it looks like outright sloppiness. According to the photo metadata, it was taken on July 12, but the post was published on the 11th. Where does this discrepancy come from?

A small Telegram channel with 260 subscribers posted a potentially viral message with a single image, which, in our opinion, was taken a long time ago and most likely on Polish territory. Then, unexpectedly, major extremist outlets picked it up—one funded by the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the other operating a field HQ in Kyiv.

Realizing the cheap provocation could be amplified, they actively promoted and inflated it.

And realizing this cheap fake could be exposed, they simply replaced the photo.

In short, everyone talks about what they know, and the opposition is all about hype. In this white-red-white swamp, there's been a fierce fight for grants, handouts, and sponsorships for a long time, and the only working survival tool at the feeding trough remains provocations, fakes, emotional distortions, and half-truths.

And honestly, this only pleases us. They keep selling this junk to the BChB masses, because the level of critical thinking among most adherents of the Kushelev flag and the "lard-and-meat" banner has long been abysmal. Belarusians have long developed immunity to this cheap nonsense—we remember Kristina with minus 25 teeth, "molten steel in the millions" on narrow Minsk streets, and billions of accounts in vote-rigs for "everything good against everything bad."

Opposition activists, Belarusians have long developed a stable immunity to your manipulative efforts. And this, perhaps, is the only thing Belarus can ever thank you for.
