It seems like you’re referring to the origins of the conflict and not what’s happening on the ground right now.
It also seems like you’re not sure who’s to blame for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Is that the case?
I'm not sure it's coordinated fuzzing at the social level.
What would that look like? People on opposite sides making opposing claims?
What about meta-commentary that both sides have equally compelling arguments and that it’s impossible to know which side is right?
- agumonkey 5y agoNo, I'm wondering if internet gave the idea to some state security agency to cook a mind vacuum by showing bits of potential evidence (1991 agreements, past aggressions, shifting blame) so that people will waste time and energy in sterile debate. I was reading a series on a .ru sites about history of russian computing, whose author claimed a lot of faults with the soviet system that caused a their demise. But in the comments a few russians (or bots ... I don't know anything anymore at that point) were quick to point at that, the author analysis was fragile, giving him other data points about missing events, or developments. All to say that even when you try to document yourself.. you never know the whole story. Unless maybe you start an absolute quest of truth to cross all data points. And even then, data can still be wrong (people might forget to record stuff, or deliberately ignore some).
