the challenge now is to discern which of these are the opinions of actual users and which are the same massive players masquerading as organic opinion.
So who really knows
My answer was to wash my hands and move here. It's mildly interesting in it's own right but a massive disappointment on the other hand.

Large corporations, the media, and governments shape the window of acceptable conversation. With the internet, it is the first time that regular people can read the true opinions of others from around the world. That it obviously a massive increase in the type of beliefs that you will be exposed to, and ideas that have been silenced in the media will suddenly surface. However, the challenge now is to discern which of these are the opinions of actual users and which are the same massive players masquarading as organic opinion.
Because these two competeting factors produce the same observable events, I don't know the relative importance of each. Russia does have a campaign to cause disruption by undermining the cohesion of western countries (e.g. they fund and create both BLM groups on FB and groups oposing muslims). It's well known that the west has been using these tactics in the Cold War too and continues to do so in the Middle East. Then there is also the absolutely ridiculous treatment Israel gets from the west and free pass for its actions that rightfully deserve criticism along with the disproportionate influence of Jews in media, laws, politics, education, government, banking, and entertainment. So who really knows.
