Strike me as a relatively coarse influence campaign, notable mainly for its volume. Not sure if the ramp up is to save face, or part of a larger effort. Similar efforts were notable before Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

- nmeofthestate 4y agoYou could be right about that, but Occam's razor (there's lots of morons on the internet) is also a plausible explanation. Maybe a bit of both. I suspect a lot of "disinformation" by hostile parties just serves to provide the idiots with material that appeals to them, and they run with it.
