        Ever wonder why mainstream social media feeds were filled with right wing content, and far right comments? Or why left-wing communities get hijacked by people saying you should not vote, or only vote for super far left pro-russia parties.

        Behold the “Russian Web Brigades” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_web_brigades

        To avert suspicions, the users sandwich political remarks between neutral articles on travelling, cooking and pets.[25] They overwhelm comment sections of media to render meaningful dialogue impossible.[39][40]

        This is why I left reddit. I would say 1 in 10 accounts is one of these. It is crazy.

          It’s the only thing he has the resources to do.

          Troll farms are easy ways to get a lot of discontent in opposing nations for minimum expenditure
