    I think Lemmy paints a difficult picture to decipher if we’re considerate of the broader voter base.

    Tin Foil Hat time! We know that Russia and China, among others, have troll farms working across social media to try to shape the narrative. One of their stated goals is to increase divisiveness among westerners. Lemmy is such a small community that it would not take much effort for them to dominate the conversation here.

    At least thats what I tell myself, because I refuse to believe that there are so many people here stubbornly refusing to believe experts who have studied their fields for years. Just because I don’t understand something doesn’t mean that nobody understands it. I’m constantly amazed by people who make advances in areas that I have little experience in personally, but I know enough about the scientific community to agree that these contributions should be lauded.

    Nevertheless, expect to be brigaded by downvotes for trying to bring logic into the discussion.

      Imagine thinking that Russia or China would focus on manipulating opinions of a tiny community with a few thousand users many of whom don’t even live in US. It’s absolutely incredible to see how any time liberals step out of their echo chambers, they refuse to even contemplate the fact that people might have different ideas from their own.

        More likely I’ll get blocked because it’s lemmy.ml Clicking post now… let’s see it it still works.

        Insofar as you and @unconfirmedsourcesDOTgov@lemmy.sdf.org sound like dumbasses, it works.

        The socialist and MAGA crowd (basically the same kind of people)

        What even is this? Horseshoe theory brainworms? Either you are with us or you are with the terrorists? You think people who want to end capitalism are the same as the people who want to maintain it?

        I’m fairly certain the hexbear instance is a Chinese troll farm.

        Anyone who isn’t either a liberal or MAGA must be a paid shill of a government the Atlantic Council doesn’t like this week. Not other possibility exists, thanks to two red scares and two cold wars.

        I remember conversations with them would come to an instant halt by simply linking to the wikipedia entry on the Tienanmen Square massacre.

        • Images from Tiananmen 1989 the West never shows (NSFW / CW: violence and death)
        • Tank Man video footage. Tiananmen Square, Beijing, 1989

        .

        We know that Russia and China, among others, have troll farms working across social media to try to shape the narrative.

        The Blue Anon conspiracy theories never seem to end. Just today the NYT has re-shifted the conspiracy from Russia to China.
