Poll of the Day > Thoughts on Russia allegedly agitating BLM via social media?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Personally, I think it's just hilarious how stupid people can be so easily led to militancy if they simply agree with a narrative, regardless of any facts surrounding the situation. This video sums up my feelings on the group:

As for the alleged Russian involvement... god-tier trolling?

Not sure why you'd link to a video displaying your thoughts on the group, but not a citation for the claim that Russia manipulated BLM.

Just googling some links, WaPo notes that this was done to a variety of groups, etc, to promote unrest

And, to balance out WaPo, here's a more conservative take:

The CNN article, which I had originally intended to cite, looked like shit when I glanced through it and appeared more biased than WaPo, omitting that Russia bought ads to support Hillary (something acknowledged in both other sources). Then again, some call it the Clinton News Network so what can you expect?

^I thought it was common knowledge at this point... It's everywhere. It'd be like having to cite "North Korea threatens America, plans more nuclear bomb tests."

So basically white guy doesn't think systemic racism exists and the black people who have been killed unjustly deserved it.

Not all that surprised by it

A lot of the BLM and SJW stuff that has caused outrage over the last few years has felt very manufactured. Especially when you see it constantly on the internet but almost never irl

The average person is far more reasonable than special interests want you to believe

You guys realise that Russia is playing *both* sides on this, right? As an example, Russian bots tied to the same bot-farms have been found spamming twitter with the hashtags #TakeAKnee and #BoycottNFL.

They're just trying to sow division any way they can.

Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States to fuel instability and separatism, for instance, provoke "Afro-American racists". Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics."

Russia probably has their fingers in groups on all sides of every contentious issue.

Did you not watch the video.ans just made up assumptions? Dude was saying that shooting were denied full information and the news highlights were supporting their agenda. A lot of these situations were reported falsely. He is just stating facts and not siding with any. He agreed that situations were cop negligent but not as simple as "black man shot over broken tail light" a few of the situations were with criminals that had rap sheets.
