Well Zig Forums, what do we all think? Are the Russians hacking every election? Are they hacking our very brains? Did they hack the Vietnam War? Let's find out:
What an amazing work of investigative journalism, I am shocked I tell you. Aren't you also convinced by this shocking, beyond-proven evidence. I am now fully convinced that this is the sole and only reason that centrists can't win any elections anymore, nothing to do with their own incompetence. We NEED to stop supporting Socialist parties and we NEED a FUCKING PEOPLE'S VOTE.
Let's go down the list of these supposed Russian lies. This is absolutely true. Even if they libelled the program, it doesn't change the fact that it was quite impractical, even if the concept was good. I'm sure they didn't make as much of a difference as the corporate lobbyists did. Well, this may be true, but it's also true that the average person doesn't want a nuclear silo in his backyard. That's what makes you a target. This part is true. Dugin played a big role in it - His post-modern analysis states that, in order to weaken the enemies of Russia, they need to polarize the politics as much as possible. The plan is to support both the far-right and far-left to the point of civil war, and Russians move in after the country is severely weakened. CSA sympathizers, neo-nazis, communists, socialists, and even patriotic americans are all tools in this plan. It's pretty genius actually, and i think it can only end well for Communism in the long run, with the power vacuum created from a weakened 'murica.

We must critically support Libertarians in their anti-Imperialistic struggle
Literally shitting on libertarians for not being fascist and jingoist enough (cause they are)

Every country invested in geopolitics has a small army of pundits, false-flaggers, psyops and even (God help me) memesmiths poisoning every venue of human communication. It's part of hyperreality spinning out of control. It's impossible to sift through the news, let alone through raw information, to find out what's real and what isn't, because, by definition, bullshit is much easier and quick to be created than to be debunked. Signal is always rare, a line of meaning amidst a universe of noise, and those fucks are piling the noise on in exponential amounts. Eventually the signal-to-noise ratio will reach zero, and civilization will collapse in an infocalypse.
Not actually so small. Russia, Israel and China are big three online shillords. China you don't see so much in Western online spaces by 50 centers are EVERYWHERE in Asia/Pacific online spaces.
Israel has arguably the largest astroturfing network on earth and they're fucking everywhere, go look at threads on /r/worldnews on Reddit about Israel/Palestine and you can see these fuckers at work, they've also "captured" much of the Western mainstream media and the Western mainstream media parrots all their fucking bullshit at face value. Israeli astroturfers are 100% behind for example, the attack campaign on Jeremy Corbyn (The act.il app actually gives out the attack lines on Corbyn and suddenly, the media story and anti-Corbyn social media campaign 2 days later, is that attack story).
What makes Israel interesting is that it is actually who taught Russia how to do all this astroturfing, fake news shit. Russia works closely with Israel in their disinfo campaigns, because Israel's white immigration is largely from Russia because Israel runs programs in Russia to get basically white mail order brides from Russia to Israel to keep white birthrates up (seriously). This is also why Israeli astroturfers have been pushing pro-Russian line in regards to sanctions.
You may think the US runs mass astroturfing campaigns as well, but it surprisingly actually doesn't, I mean, US think tanks and political parties obviously do, but there doesn't seem to be much of a US state funded astroturfing network. What the US relies on much more is mass manipulation of the "mainstream media" itself. Papers like WaPo and the NYT are pretty much just mouthpieces of the State Department.
