I’m increasingly of the opinion that we’re contending with only a few trolls, and A LOT of plants, shills, and bots on that front. Or at least troll-ish people informed by the latter. Point being: to me the sabre-rattling crowd seems heavily astro-turfed to me.
Like 2/3rds of Lemmy is unabashed Russian agitprop. The tell is when they blame democrats for things republicans do while deliberately misunderstanding how the federal government works.
Check your reading comprehension. I didn’t say bots, I said Lemmy uncritically repeats Russian agitprop. This aligns absolutely with my reckoning of the average American civics education, and Russia’s online information warfare is rivaled maybe only by Israel or China. Russian information warfare literally got Trump elected the first time, like what the fuck are you on?
