Except that Russia did and has continued funding disinformation to sow division and hatred among Americans.

You can look up Tenet Media and how they filtered Russian money down to major right wing political commentators.

There’s nothing fake about that.

In 2016 the Republicans didn’t have the planning or political infrastructure to truly cause the damage they wanted to. In less than a decade we now have an openly corrupt and stacked Supreme Court, a legislature with plenty of Maga sycophants to pass whatever they want and a presidency that is going to be filled with the likes of Elon Musk and the literal Project 2025 playbook written by trumps cronies and the Herritage Foundation.

Control of the house, senate, presidency and Judiciary.

The difference is trump is enthusiastically sucking to get the biggest and fastest completion of all time and dems have been slow blowing for 2 years trying to avoid the worst possible outcome.

On the flipside in the US, our last climate change fueled disaster had rampant conspiracy theories about government weather control devices and FEMA doing… idk something nefarious.

It’s just how basic demographics analysis works. There’s a lot more people who are struggling with mental health problems/mental disabilities that make them more prone to believing scams. And so many games and storefronts use dark patters to make it extremely easy to make undesired purchases or have no safeguards to prevent children from using their parents credit card for purchases.

All these kinds of people vastly outnumber dumb finance bros on their yachts making stupid money decisions.

Can be, but less likely given how ubiquitous Windows is on major systems across all industries.

It’s security through small market share. There’s just not enough major organizations using Linux as a default to warrant large numbers of all manor of gray or black hats to dig deep into finding the exploits.

Genocide is not a necessity, but it is an ongoing reality. The only feasible choices we as americans have at the present moment is Trump the genocide accelerationist, and Harris the genocide status quo and even reduction, ideally continuing the slow rolling supplies policy Biden has adopted and furthering that policy to slow the movement of weapons into israel. At the end of the day Netanyahu is the one actively waging genocide, and getting funding and weaponry from a wide number of countries. I would much prefer is we completely stopped sending weapons to Israel, but unfortunately thata not how internationally binding treaties work.

You say that like labor is the only thing that factors into a final product and nothing else contributes to the final like the materials costs, overhead costs or even the ever growing push to maximize profits.
