That has got to be a drop in the bucket compared to the division we sow domestically. Are we blaming Russia for racial and gender division in the USA?
@dictatordave@andrewducker It also blamed Russian trolls for calling Linda Sarsour an "anti-Semite" uhhh I can actually narrow down for you in the USA who was saying that lol
@Moon@andrewducker look at blm, bunch of dyke negresses who loudly talk about being marxists they're useful idiots but they do part of the work and socks do the rest, along with unit 8300 and the us air force and every other group
if your organization isn't trying to grab a market share in the propaganda gig then you're dead in the water
@eal@andrewducker Yeah, it should definitely be recognized and combated. And I assume Russia wouldn't do it if they didn't think what they were doing was effective. Part of the problem (and this is our problem) is they can spend very very little money to do this because we accept it when it's produced domestically by grifters and subversives.
@Moon@andrewducker preexisting division is useful to N-letter agencies, I'd say it's fair to blame russia, cia et al for the shit they do even if it isn't the sole cause of an issue
@dictatordave no, she's an Arab-American Muslim. She's not really an anti-Semite but some Jewish orgs and Republicans say she is because she is critical of Israel.
@Moon i have no problem with anti semites why should jews and zionists especially get some built in tolerance? fuck them but also fuck arabs and muslims
The last truth you got was when your neighbour told you how his garden is going. Think back to how long ago that was for most people.
These people desperately want everyone to spend all their time caring about things they themselves have no influence over. I decided a long time ago to only really care about things within my own sphere of influence. Addressing anything else at this point is either pure trolling or a product of boredom.
