> I really believe the source is Russian and Chinese cyber ops
Here in Colombia we got something that went to be known as bodegueros: People hired by the (then right-wing) government and their allies (and sometimes using public fundings) to mass spread misinformation to make it seem the opposite parties as the "baddies". Blatantly enough they went to the point to claim it is the opposite party who is doing such practice.
Facebook and Twitter are full of fake accounts posting/sharing/retweeting whatever strawman and sensationalist "content" en masse to provoke outrage. At the point I went out of Reddit, even r/Colombia was going the same course - even at least a couple "colombian" subs went this way, like r/ColombiaReddit and r/ChomposCol, but all with that same pattern.
The odd thing is that r/ChomposCol came as a Reddit extension of what is/was a group on Facebook that originated on a private university that actually did hate acts in real life, like harassing a student or menacing a teacher with physical violence.
