This video will melt your brain. I’m inflicting you with it because I was inflicted with it. At least I won’t be adding more views to the account.

    Part of the emphasis on Russiagate was to shield/cover Israeli involvement/meddling and since public opinion has wildly shifted the dems could just admit that and finally yank off that bandaid

    But due to pathetic loyalty to Israel they won’t admit it

      I think there might be a strange situation with the Russiagate stuff, so many libs have built their entire identity around hating Russia that I can’t really imagine it going well when their talking heads admit that it was all made up, they’d probably just deny reality. It’s a really easy step to just say “oh no, those dastardly Russians infiltrated the news as well!”

    Man you can make up so much shit with this nonsense.

    Next time a US base gets hit we need to disinfo the fuck out it, linking the dumbest most disingenuous data we can find and claiming that drops are all tied to the base being hit. Two can play this propaganda game.

    Public opinion is/has turning/turned on Trump, and yet the libs still manage to make it about Russian bots… you can’t make this shit up.

    I don’t really get why you would click farm from Russian IPs to influence American politics? Wouldn’t that look hella sus in the logs of social Media platforms? Anyone can just spin up a bunch of AWS instances or something. Maybe they should bomb Virginia and check what impact that has on fake news.

      The whole Russiagate thing was supposedly Russia influencing the election by using Meta/Google platform and the companies did fucking nothing. If it’s clear that the companies don’t give a single fuck, why wouldn’t they use these companies’ infrastructure?

        And the Facebook Files demonstrated pretty clearly that Meta knows what they are doing.

        But I’m also hesitant about suggesting stronger regulations because that will primarily target left wing activism.

    They are strict adherents to the yankee civic religion, how can something be divinely perfect and fallible at the same time? It cannot be, so the evils in the world must be created by an antiAmerica which hates them and embodies all the things that make them feel icky
