Well, this is unironically true if your personal political views can be summed up with "death to America", so I'm not seeing the problem here.

There is evidence of things like this for most divisive issues in American politics. Basically, Russian trolls are the most vocal and extreme voices on both sides, and they drag actual people into greater conflict. It's not just a meme or an advertisement, but rather highly active fake accounts doing a decent job of passing themselves off as real. Focusing on it in the context of the election is probably a bad strategy since it can easily be dismissed as making excuses for the democrats failure, but in the more general context it does seem like something worth fighting. Having a foreign propaganda arm constantly working to deepen divisions can't be healthy for your country, especially when it's barely holding itself together even without malicious interference.

Idpol framing is the result of USSR propaganda from decades ago. It's taken on a life of it's own now though, and there are plenty of willing idiots who'll play 5th column out of sheer nihlism, or exploit it for personal gain.

If you're really worried about this stuff, victim culture has to go.

Even if all of this poo poo gets uncovered and hundreds or thousands of people get identified, charged, convicted and punished, it's still a giant win for Putin and a giant kick in the balls for everybody else. He's proven not only does Democracy not work, a huge segment of people don't even like Democracy and will eagerly help subvert it

I think it’s cool & good that the DNC gets a free pass for being a completely out of touch organisation, deep in the pockets of big business while pretending to have the best interests of workers at heart, because these Russian assholes shilled for everyone but Hillary.

Looking forward to seeing her run once again, jumping on board with the latest memes & trends in a hopeless attempt to appeal to the youth, because Now It’s REALLY Her Turn!

I agree. Silly moments like BLM do nothing except further divide the nation by unnecessarily causing strife. The sooner we get rid of the whiners, the sooner we can begin to aspire to our "more perfect union". Idpol is the second most dangerous threat to the United States at the moment and it needs to be extinguished.

Again, it wasn't just Russian propaganda that elevated Trump. It was also American propaganda. For example the Clinton campaign actively worked to elevate Trump over his primary opponents. Remember how much coverage CNN gave Trump? Are those things okay to you, just because they're American and not Russian?

If you're looking at this indictment and the bigger story behind it and thinking it's not a big deal, it's because you've been trained by decades of free mixing of news and entertainment to have no preference for truth over falsehood. I.e. your brain is filled with poo poo and worms, good luck fixing that America :smith:

I've been explaining why it isn't a big deal and why much of what the Russians were promoting was actually quite agreeable, people like you are just too eager to declare some kind of victory over your perceived ideological opponents to actually think about anything.... now who has a brain full of poo poo and worms dumb dumb? hahahaha got you bitch

WTF did BLM do this election other than malign Bernie? They couldn't even play nice with someone on their side.

How can anything be accomplished if everyone is a histrionic paranoiac? If everyone is out to get you and screw you over?

The communist sphere spent decades upon decades of blasting propaganda at black people that told them their country hates them, and will do anything to see them fail. Other countries look at America's diversity, and see points where they can fracture the nation. They're not trying to make peoples lives better.
