Lots of pro-russian votes and opinions in this thread. Revealing a damning piece of evidence about overt Russian interference in the American election is generating a lot of “I’m not sure that’s real” when it clearly is. That’s Russian interference working on this social platform. God knows how much it is perpetrated on larger platforms.

OP, thank you for painting this. It clearly is upsetting the Russian disinformation trolls. More please!

The fucks are crying that they were duped. Duped into accepting 10 million dollars.

Really glad they redacted “US Political Party A” and “US Political Party B”. I for one am completely stumped as to which parties they could be referring.

This is actually kind of a dogshit analysis of US political climate. What is this used for? Is it just like training materials for supposed Russian bots? Its interesting to speculate why an org producing these materials would represent specifically these views. How and why the analysis is skewed is interesting to look into. The racism and otherizing is like bubbling underneath every statement, while it accuses the US system of being otherizing (which it is) and racist (which it is but in some different ways.)

Another thing I want to mention is like, so the Russians have all these keyboard warriors who they pay to boost certain views, and react to various positions in different ways, but what happens when these people stop getting paid? When they go home, etc., do they just stop believing these things? Its not just influencing elections or whatever, its also conditioning like hundreds or thousands of people through online encounters and real life salaries. Like I bet they have a supervisor that approves their responses and maybe pays a bonus if they are “in compliance” with the standard or whatever, very common among call center work, I imagine bot-net work would be almost identical.

Oh look at that, it has the same opinion of the media as that MBFC bot.
