I feel like there's a growing shared interest in creating distrust broadly, in making people scared & confused & pliant & on edge. These above feel.loke specific causes...
But there's a broader interest by many, generally, in destabilizing.
Trolling is probably the closest, but i consider torlling largely for the luls and chaos. Destabilizing is about making the world indecipherable and ungovernable, about obstructing truth. It's doing anything and everything to throw a wrench into democratic societies, no matter the event of the day. It's boosting uncertainty and fear, spreading wide a tacitc belief there is a secret world beyond the facade, welcoming you for a trip into dark enlightenment.
