"The Russians have a powerful network of bots and trolls, costing millions."
Wow, what do they do with that?
"Sir... they bofa'd Wil Wheaton."
@some_qualia It looks like we need to order more copies of "Everyone I Disagree With XXXXX*: The Emotional Child's Guide To Life", stat.
* - XXXXX is a placeholder, which can be search-and-replaced at printing time. "Is A Russian Agent", "Hates Freedom", "Is A Nazi", etc - it mainly depends on what flavor of 🔵Angry📺Box🔴 the audience has on speed-dial.
@some_qualia
As far as the politicians in power go, >90% of them on both sides are in the employ of sociopathic thieves and should be thrown out if not jailed.
As far as the 99% go, both sides have been rendered essentially powerless and yet told that the other side is somehow causing all the grief that can be laid at the door of the sociopaths.
@some_qualia On both sides of the 99%, there are a small fraction of horrid trolls -- or worse, people who actually believe they can justify treating people like objects.
Angry Box's job (and they do it fairly well) is to make each side believe the small fraction of the other side represents everyone on thatside.
@MySideIsHumanity Thanks. But you’re also gonna have a hard time getting me to believe people who identify as Republicans are good people. They might not be responsible for policy, but people who say “Yes, identify with Trump and his policies,” are not good people.
The non-communist “left” appears mostly well-intentioned, but in practice toxic and dangerous.
