It will be interesting to see the left-wing/right-wing proportion. Ie: do they shill and troll both sides to increase division and reciprocal hate.

- jdoliner 8y agoI'm pretty confident you'll find plenty of both and lots of stuff that's ambiguously in between. I'm sure you'll also get different answers about which stuff is "left" and which stuff is "right" based on who you're talking to. Groups and people who are really good at propaganda understand that it's really not about left vs. right propaganda, it's about controlling the narrative. I think the best example you can find of this is Andrew Breitbart, everyone knows about the "news" outlet he founded which bears his name, Breitbart News. Most don't know about the other news outlet he founded (or rather that he founded it): The Huffington Post. Andrew understood better than anyone at the time how to control the narrative by being on both sides of it.
