Russian troll farms work. Period.
I noticed that those who were pushing anti BLM, and then anti-mask/anti-vaccine memes suddenly started pushing pro-Russia content the moment Russia invaded Ukraine. They've been around stirring the pot and creating polarizing content to cause disarray for years. And judging by the state of US politics, it has been working.
It really boggles my mind that so many people are ready to just categorically dismiss them and their obvious effectiveness. And then thereโs the ones who know otherwise, but are playing right into the propaganda intentionally for one reason or another.
Propaganda doesn't work on me, I'm too smart, too independent, to principled. Man, why do I have such a craving for all of a sudden. /s
Honestly its amazing that people think that corporations are giving hand over fist for advertising that DOESN'T influence people. Or that states are just running massive operations because they thought it might worth it.
I find it weirder still that thereโs not more public discourse on it in media and politics. Like, this is the country (whatโs left of it after the USSR) that for decades was Americas villain, and now theyโre actively sowing discord in the country, and no one cares.
If this was the Cold War thereโd be entire government agencies dedicated to stopping troll farms.
It FLABBERGASTS me that people get on internet forums knowing anyone could be from anywhere and have ulterior motives and not run everything thru the very basic filter of "qui bono", which is latin for Who benefits? The double tap is "Follow the money."
If the opinions put across lead to a conclusion that politically oppositional countries would find beneficial...guess what...you're talking to someone on their payroll. Or worse, you're talking to useful idiot doing the job for free.
I've called out hundreds of shills over the past few years. Hundreds. The only rational way to look at opinions online is askance.
There's a new word for you, it's personally my favorite, so remember it, use it, love it, spread it, and apply it to the internet. And tell others to do so as well.
Politically opositional country benefits from any conflict. They will back both the clan and antifa, while watching and eating popcorn. Whatever your worldview is, there is an agent using it against you.
ah, a dnc shill ;)
Dude, I just ate. Don't make me ..๐คข
