They're everywhere nowadays.
Holy shit, they have their hands and data everywhere.
Didn't we have a few on the old forum? I mean, it's not impossible.
Only a Russian agent would try and deflect from themselves. 🤔
I was literally just reading a thread from 2018 a minute ago, where people were unironically defending China re-colonizing Africa. God.
When members start campaigning for a live action remake of Anastasia it's going to be incredibly difficult to tell one group of viral influencers from another.
Of course. Their aim is to seed chaos and division in all parts of US society. This is and has been their doctrine.
Getting a puppet into office is a nice bonus but their main goal is to paralyze the US system due to division.
It's literally written down in a book since 1997.
I don't think so, it would not be a very high value target as moderation would be quick to find anything like that, and there are few enough users they would stand out like a sore thumb, plus it's not as easy to spread things from here to the outside and signal boost. Reddit and FB and the like are great for that because you can mass create accounts to switch between and signal boost your own content, it very shareable, and it's easy to go under the radar for a long time and build things up slowly. It's not worth their time on a site like this when there are so many way easier targets that offer more for their money and time.
... okay? So it's fine to claim we have russian bots here, but not chinese bots? Or are both of those things off limits? ...my head hurts. I think I'll just step out of this thread now.
No. Reddit is either cool with that or they are being forced to keep an eye on them while cooperating with law enforcement. Reddit deleted their warrant canary in early 2016.
Probably.
On Facebook I've called out ones in the last few months regurgitating a made up story of "some black kid" shooting dogs in the backyard very recently with a changing police case id. It works...a lot. Lots of subconscious racism riles up people to believe such absurd things. If a white kid did it people would ask why isn't there local news about it? Why would anyone do such a thing? I report to moderators but it takes 1 to 2 hours typically. Straight out of their Soviet politics book.
Oh, they're still there. GO to the old forum (or rather, don't and take my word for it) and you see the place has become A LOT friendlier to Putin now...
wow, you're right. pointing out the dangers of Brexit is really extremist... #GetBrexitDone #Boris
I remember at some point the old forum made headlines because it was pretty high in the list of websites that visitors of Hillary Clinton's site came from. That probably put it on the Russian radar. Then the forum almost overnight fell in love with fascism and imploded.
Tankies to the left of me, Russians to the right here I am. Stick I the middle with tools.

Unfortunately that's probably true.
The centrists will save the day, with one minuscule incremental step at a time.

An important observation and one that should never be forgotten
I always thought Chinese were on more of a monitor and record everything type beat, but Russia is more of an active manipulator.
Not sure how I feel about such leaks made by these people. Without them, we wouldn't know about dodgy healthcare deals designed to fuck the NHS, but on the other hand, they're trying to sow discord between two world powers in the hopes that Russia can keep on trucking forward.
The mods actually fell for someone calling criticism of Mao Zedong racist.
Hey, you mock, but yesterday's centrist rally had amazing turnout
there was this ex kgb doc in the 90s. Talking about dismantling targets and America from the inside. Everything in 2016 has been that gameplay. Esp the both sides part. I'll try to find it. If you Google it it's a thin Russian guy with thick glasses giving a talk to a class at the FBI.. or something
If what's in the documents are real then what they reveal is valid.
But the source of these documents is just as serious a concern.

It's always blamed on the Russians, I bet it's really Rudy working with the Ukraine Gov trying to find the real constitution before a crazy thief gets it.
Not sure, Anastasia seems fairly pro Romanov, so wouldn't modern day Russian trolls (Soviet nostalgic, and presumably anti royalist) be against the move to make a remake?
Imagine if the russians were being behind the think tank, to accuse people they didn't like of being russians.
Layers upon layers.
I know you're joking but i'm going to write out a serious reply to try and aleviate my 1am(sorry almost 2 now) brain snakes:
The think tank, Bellingcat, is run by a bloke called Elliot Higgins whose previous biggest accomplishment in life before hand was being a moderator(Brown Moses) of the Debate and Discussion subforum of the Something Awful Forums and blogging/posting a lot about the News International phone hacking scandal. He was still a moderator for several years after starting Bellingcat and he wasn't particuarly well liked to say the least(total power tripper, agree with him or eat some time off posting). The think tank itself made a name for itself with pro-western interests material and if they're backed by any state power it's the US. In this scandal their intervention is mostly to throw doubt on the veracity of the leaked documents by throwing the big 'R' around and given that the documents are real as far as anyone can tell(Labour spent time verifying them before revealing them to the public) this should be seen as an attempt to interfere in the election via proxy by The US in favour of BoJo's bozo Conservatives
