    russia is behind most of the propaganda, and they do it to both sides too. its one of thier core strategies to distract west from russias geopolitical aspirations. i think russia has USA beat on being propagandized, usa is probably 2ND, if at most 3rd.

      You know America is cooked when even liberals are coming up with grand conspiricy theories to blame all of the countries problems on sinister forigners. Any evidence that “russia is behind most of the propaganda, and they do it to both sides too”? Of course not, but it feels right, because it explains the current state of things while still maintaining American exceptionalism, so that’s good enough.

          Yeah, thats got to be it. No one could genuinely be concerned to see the left wing of American politics following the right into McCarthyism and xenophobia, it must be because I have the wrong letters after my name. Nothing I said is wrong, of course, but that’s nothing a lazy ad-hominem can’t solve, is it.
