    And the astroturf farm at Eglin AFB is the highest source of traffic on Reddit. I’m sure the US military’s astroturf output is absolutely eclipsing anything poorly paid students are outputting.

      reddit reported it was half of the comments on reddit, besides ru being the other competitor. In regards to israel, im betting they are also involved, especially if you go into worldnews.

        I don’t know. I feel like the competition with Russia is overstated and sold to us by a bloated defense contractors who need a boogeyman. Most of our conflicts with them are born from our aggression on their border, and economic sanctions to maintain our hegemony.

        Plus it’s clear to everyone that the US population no longer holds the levers of power. What would be the point of convincing us to believe anything?
