If you haven't noticed, there is no evidence of your claims.
- UltraSane 1y agoYou just have to read Reddit and YouTube and Twitter comments to see all the evidence you need.
- mh- 1y agoCurious that you didn't include HN in that list.
- UltraSane 1y agoBecause I rarely see obvious Russian troll comments on hacker news
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoYes, there are Russians on the Internet. No, they’re not all trolls. No, I’m not Russian. Yes, there are American trolls on the Internet. No, America doesn’t own the Internet.
- UltraSane 1y agoI have no idea what you are trying to say. Russia pays hundreds of people to post comments on the Internet. They have been doing this since the Jade Helm Conspiracy hysteria they caused proved their methods to be very effective. https://www.texastribune.org/2018/05/03/hysteria-over-jade-helm-exercise-texas-was-fueled-russians-former-cia-/ https://www.texastribune.org/2018/05/03/hysteria-over-jade-h... Hysteria over Jade Helm exercise in Texas was fueled by Russians, former CIA director says Gov. Greg Abbott's decision in 2015 to ask the Texas State Guard to monitor a federal military exercise prompted significant criticism. A former CIA director said Wednesday that the move emboldened Russians to next target elections.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoThe former CIA director is not, at all, someone who can be trusted. They don't present their evidence, either. Anyone in a position of authoritarian power can say anything. Until it's prosecuted in an open court of law, all bets are off. Hysteria is easily promoted by anyone in the world - even American companies are capable of it - and there is much profit to be made from Russophobia, especially in the heinous market conditions of America's military industrial complex: a very well known hysteria-promoting industry. In fact, by spreading this rumour, you are more soviet than you might understand.

- MomsAVoxell 1y agoSo you don’t believe in a free and open society, got it ..
- UltraSane 1y agoThis comment makes no sense
- wiseowise 1y agoThere's no evidence to disprove them either. Bots aren't necessarily aimed to promote "glorious motherland" directly, there are probably hundreds of people on a payroll searching for easy, popular targets to wreak havoc.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoParanoia. There is just as much evidence that the USA has influence operations in every country on the planet too.
- wiseowise 1y agoWhatever lets you sleep at night.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoOh, as if "the Russians are comin' to brainwash us all" doesn't keep you up at night. Give it up. The Russians aren't coming for you. You're gunning for them.
- UltraSane 1y agoSystematic manipulation isn't brainwashing. The Internet has made it possible.
- MomsAVoxell 1y agoSays you! I don’t even know if you’re a bot. You’re probably a bot because you say things I don’t agree with! Wait! Maybe I AM THE ‘bot? What were we talking about again?
- UltraSane 1y agoIf you see very similar comments being made by many different accounts over a small timeframe you are likely seeing bots.
- janc_ 1y agoThere is in fact proof of this in the real world, where Russia has been paying people in Europe to do actions that rile up "the left" & "the right" (in both directions). It would be quite naive to think they don't do the same in the virtual world of the internet, where it is even cheaper…
