One thing I considered with bots like these is that it doesn't matter which side of an issue they are pushing, the end result is just to further divide the 2 sides. So I think that's the goal.
The issue they push with the bots may not be, and likely isn't, their actual position on the issue.
- guerrilla 6y agoWhat do you base that on? Division may just be an emergent phenomenon or one rooted in the reality of opposing interests.
- crazygringo 6y agoIt's part of the Russian/Putin playbook. Their mission isn't to promote any particular interests within America or other countries, as much as to maximize divisiveness and weaken democracy as much as possible so that Russia is stronger and less threatened in comparison.

- oknaj 6y agoYou are being divided internally by a domestic force. BlackLivesMatter vs everyone, putting male against female, isolating individual by destroying nuclear family. Putin should be last of your concerns.

- guerrilla 6y agoYes, everyone's heard of the book. That establishes nothing.
- takeda 6y agoyes, it does not, but over last 4 years a lot of things happened that aligned with the content. Look at even the latest riots. Either the author is some kind of fortuneteller or there is an active effort toward is and unfortunately our leadership is helping it happen. I don't believe in coincidences.
