Board 8 > So Russia turned US elections with $100k worth of ads, 56% of them after Nov 8th

(+) Yeah! (+)

lmao

https://www.rt.com/usa/405714-russia-facebook-ads-impact-election/

It couldn't be more transparent that this is a desperate media campaign to slander Trump.

Now, for some important facts in the same article:

If there can be talk about collusion that might undermine the integrity of the US election, it should be about the apparent collusion between Google, Facebook and the Democratic Party, he argued, labelling the search engine and the social media giant absolutely left-wing organizations.

Google started New America Foundation, it is a think-tank in Washington, DC, that has tremendous influence on the left-wing side of the intelligence community, he said, arguing that both companies are owned by the Democrats lock, stock and barrel.

Still using RT for all of your Russian government related news, huh

Gotta get the propaganda straight from the spigot I guess

The news is everywhere, genius. Your frail "waaaaah source is le ebil" argument holds no water.

I'm aware of the news story.

This is one of many things Russia did to attempt to sway the election. Your bullshit topic title pretends that this was the only thing Russia did. The quote you pulled out of the article is also complete bullshit.
---

lmao, yeah, one of the 2-3 most powerful governments in the world really wants to sway the elections in the country where the most capital is focused, but will somehow only dedicate $100k to facebook ads. And the ads won't even be in a candidate's favour, they'll cover various social issues like Black Lives Matter. And over half of them aren't even seen before the elections.

Totally legit story, guys, I promise!

As if the media needs any help to slander Trump. He slanders himself. (Well, okay, it's not slander at that point, but you get the idea.)

Anyone going to present anything of substance? I accept concessions that the "Russian collusion" story is fake.

I don't care if Donald Trump was legitimately elected or not. He's an evil, bigoted monster who doesn't deserve to be president and nothing will ever convince me otherwise unless he has a Persona 5-esque change of heart and starts running the country like Bernie Sanders.

not really. gmo7897 is also a mod and he's a conservative, so he probably doesn't agree with ry that "trump should run the country like bernie sanders."

Oh wow, a conservative mod... As opposed to what, 200 liberal ones? Anyway, this is not the topic of discussion.

The rampage on the politics board? Any non-neocon (i.e. non-globalist) conservative opinions get nuked immediately. Anyway, this is not the topic of discussion.

So Vlado, is Putin tender in bed? I mean, does he cuddle when you two are finished?

Glenn Greenwald's made some pretty strong arguments as to why we should be wary of the way the Russia story has been reported on. Here's one of his write-ups from a week ago:

These cultural marxists remind me of a bunch of nerds who got bullied at school and then, instead of toughening up and fighting back, decided to bomb and destroy the school so that nobody ever gets bullied, and called that a master plan and progress for humanity because they destroyed bullying. Nevermind the little side effect that also nobody's getting an education anymore.

The Russia story is weak but I don't think it was ever that they bought a bunch of campaign ads.

Is everyone quoting Vlado because of how insane that quote is or cause they're afraid he's gonna delete it?

Vlado is pretty lucky to get paid for this tbh.

Nah, hes almost certainly getting money for this from somewhere.

Well, if he is he's gotten high on his own supply...!

Vlado gets GP along with EXP by defeating random globalists he encounters. Pretty lucrative no doubt.

Vlado is in a Russian warehouse strapped into a VR RPG

What the fuck is le ebil? Is that some double typo? Why are you so garbage at posting?

look, some accents have a really hard time distinguishing between v's and b's.

Toss in his physical inability to recognize evil when he sees it in the first place, and the man clearly has a shitty lot in life. Cut him some slack.

I didn't even think of evil as a word he was trying to say, even though it auto corrected to that when I made that post. Still didn't cross my mind. Was he trying to be cute or something I wonder?

Its not necessarily just Russia. Troll farms are basically a thing for everywhere. And likely this is not the only place Vlado posts.

Also it is a world where nothing is insignificant anymore. Vlado is unlikely to be the only one doing this for pay on gfaqs either.

the idea that anyone is paying Vlado to post on board 8 is pretty hilarious

if anyone, ever, at any point, for even one second, thought about paying vlado to actually support, endorse, and spread right-leaning views on board 8 or any other message board. don't you think they would have stopped paying him after seeing the results of even ONE topic?

No.

This is pretty much commonplace among the internet now.

Maybe Corrik is being paid to eat undercooked chicken wings
---

Also the reason vlado is obviously paid is because his posts are always on message. He doesn't really engage in conversation or give real response. There is no back and forth or personal investment from him. Hes just 100% spewing the agenda.

That actually makes a lot of sense to me

Vlado used to be a reasonable guy to discuss things with if you respectfully disagreed with him. Now even when I agree with an aspect of what he says while disagreeing with another, he kinda like... quotes what I'm saying and then completely ignores the point I was making and sorta regurgitates the same canned thing he originally said.

I actually totally buy that he gets some modest pay to spread some sort of message.

@George Soros

I have a job but I like to say stuff on the internet. Side gig, extra cash moneys would be nice and I know how to push this vlado guy's buttons. Hit me up. If this seems like sarcasm or some other shit, ignore that, hit me up and give me a chance. I'll prove I'm serious.
