I just genuinely do not understand how these fucking rubes seem to genuinely believe that Russia is somehow alone or uniquely powerful in terms of online propaganda or influence campaigns. Like I just want to sit down with these people face to face and try and see if they've even considered for one fucking second the idea that maybe literally every single national and private interest that exists, including their own country and corporations in it, are broadcasting propaganda online at a constant 24 hour basis.

They always have some lame shit like "w * ataboutism" to throw out there. Sometimes the mask slips, and they say something like "well, it's good that my side is doing it" like that makes sabre rattling and more imperialism ok.

They can't be reasoned with. Lord knows I've tried to show them sources. I still get destroyed for saying that Hillary literally gave us trump with the pied piper strategy. They also can't handle the reality of the Mueller report. They're back to "trump and Putler sat in smoky rooms, twittling their moustaches while plotting to destroy the earth!" There is no logical consistency in liberal ideology. It's all about keeping the treats flowing.

It's not propaganda! It's "marketing"!

How are you going to sit down face to face with anybody when you’re a Russian bot?
