> Russian/Chinese/Israeli/far right wing Did you omit "far left wing" out of cognitive bias? Or was that just an accidental omission?

  It's in the brackets, which I'll remove for clarity. The political left don't really seem to indulge in disinformation, they just don't seem to be that aggressive in that respect.

    This is also true historically if you, for example, look at the 1920ies in Germany and the rise of the Nazi party.

    That's literally all the Bolsheviks (political left) indulged in and it aided them in committing one of the worst atrocities ever, if not the worst. And, yes, the political left is demonstrably still participating.

      > demonstrably still participating Care to show a demonstration then?

      Although correct, totalitarian political movements all look much the same, left or right. I was going to post something about communist uprisings but they seemed in a different category, ie openly violent and oppressive, rather than the insidiousness of disinformation. > And, yes, the political left is demonstrably still participating. Unless you're talking about China or something, that's a bit rich.

        "Meh. It's not disinformation because they were totalitarians." You sound incredibly silly.
