What they're doing is leveraging identity for influence.

They're exploiting identity-groups to increase the influence of their propaganda.

So the article says they had 500,000 followers, I’m assuming that’s just the biggest account the Russians had

Maybe it was up to 1 million people they influenced

Lol, no.

They had over 127 million followers across all their different pages.

127 million? Hahahahahahahahaha that’s 1/3 of the country

I don’t buy that bullshit

Uhm

Well, I was writing about it years ahead of any public acknowledgement by Facebook, which came before the IC report.

That's because I study unconventional warfare and constantly came into contact with their content.

All of my family members and friends did, too.

One medium sized YT channel can have several mio subscribers. Why wouldn't it be possible to collectively create a following of 127 mio on FB?

And all of them ended up brainwashed as well.

Hell, my grandmother thought Europe had entirely burned down.

She literally thought Europe was gone.

Physically gone.

lul

And she didn't believe anything to the contrary, fought with me tooth and nail.

bahahahaha omg

And my mother became a radical leftist by following IRA pages, too.

But did she turn into a lesbian? That is the real question <:thinkgon:560211224923734026>

This shit isn't funny, man.

The active measures campaign is substantially on a greater scale than ever was performed during the Cold War, back when the Soviet Union was still around.

The Cold Cyber War

Listen our country has been disunified since the revolutionary war. The civil war and the 60’s

I believe those to be caused by internal factors rather than Russia or any other outside force

But the point is, they're not here to support any one ideology, rather they're perfectly content with creating and amplifying the messaging of all ideologies across the spectrum and entirely conflicted narratives on the same events, to disrupt our consensus on the very perception of world events, assuring our inability to perceive reality as it is, which in turn ensures we're unable to act within our interests.

That's not caused by internal factors, however.

Yes I know what Russia’s psychological warfare is and what it’s like

Disinformation and controlling how people perceive the world, that's not internal.

Yes it is

That's an exercise of force that works on any population, even their own.

Mass media was biased

Even in the 60’s

Same with the universities and colleges

Indeed, but they're simply exploiting the openness of our platforms in this case.
