   Gotta love how NPC all the commentary is on this. Kim Dotcom is 100% correct on all counts in my opinion. But the Western public is so brainwashed they can't wrap their pea brains around the concept of someone having critical thinking abilities still in tact.

     @noyoushutthefuckupdad @toiletpaper I haven't used Slashdot for over a decade, not much at all after 2004. If the swallowed the hook on Russiagate, they aren't redeemable.

     @sun @toiletpaper these twats still believe in magic Russian election hackers? I was hoping that notion died when Covid happened.

     @toiletpaper There's about a dozen Russian hacking/Russian influence claims and the only one that has any validity is that at one point it appears someone connected to the russian state contacted someone in the trump campaign and offered hacked clinton campaign materials. The idiot didn't reject it and tell the FBI immediately he said he would take it to his boss but there's no indication it went anywhere, but it does look bad.
     
     The majority of the Russian hacks that got reported relied on secret evidence that the us government refused to provide, and the claims themselves were generated by companies that are paid by the government to come to conclusions that the government wants. This is in contrast to multiple claims of Chinese hacking, claims of which are much more frequently made with public evidence. A lot of the Russian hacking attribution is ridiculously easy to fabricate, like "virus has metadata indicating it was compiled on a machine with a Russian-language locale" you're pretty fucking stupid if you don't realize every intelligence agency on the planet can trivially fake that (and every other attribution evidence)
     meso repeated this.

     The whole tech industry/culture has uncritically swallowed the leftist ideological koolaid and whatever BS MSM brainwashing du jour. It's rather pathetic tbh.

     @toiletpaper Russia absolutely has hackers and influence teams but the reality is that my country hates Russia for entirely different reasons than "human rights" or "imperialism" and routinely fabricates evidence about its enemies to justify its own actions so I can't just trust the government when it says this shit.
