‘Bonk ’em all’ – Hungarian division of NAFO fights the Russians online
The international social media movement, NAFO (North Atlantic Fella Organization) was formed on Twitter after the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Who are the people that fight Russian disinformation with mockery, trashposting and memes? Lakmusz-444 interviewed the Hungarian members behind the dog profiles.
‘Fellas’ talk about
- their personal motives to join the fight online,
- what it means to support Ukraine from Hungary in the current political climate,
- the threats and repercussion they could face if they revealed their identity,
- NAFO trics & tactics and who rules Twitter/X in Hungary,
- why engaging with pro-Russian users is important even if you can’t win an argument in a traditional way.
