I see a lot of people on the left mock claims like this but shit is legit and you're probably caught up in some of it and have been for awhile

[edit 2] Guess I'll address this in the main post since I've seen people posting about it: Bringing up the subject of foreign propaganda attacking the US is not a statement that US propaganda doesn't exist and isn't a serious problem. You're preaching to the choir about the abuses of the US government. Doesn't mean foreign propaganda is a non-issue or imaginary. And talking about foreign propaganda doesn't mean I'm saying the US doesn't have its own purely self-created problems. Please don't hit this conversation with a "So you hate waffles?" That's a whole new sentence. Arguing against things I never said makes you look silly. Don't do that. Thanks.

This right here is why I hardly, if ever, engage with any discourse on social media, especially on a lot of the "culture war" topics of gender, race, sexuality, etc.

I always think of having gotten that "hey you interacted with some Russian propaganda" notice on Tumblr a few years back and it was on some of the weirdest posts, like, oh

Yeah IDK. This sort of thing gets dunked on a lot but I do think it is possible to hold in one's mind "US liberals wave 'Russian disinformation' around as a Boogeyman to discredit the left" AND "the Russian state has a vested interest in fomenting conflict online" at the same time.

Good read, thank you for sharing

I’m somewhat curious how many “well meaning but hysterical liberals who call everything Russian bots” are in fact Russian propagandists. It’s gotta be nonzero right? Like that’s such an obvious way to get people to not take this seriously.
