It’s less talked about - but equally important to recognize- that Russia is fueling far-left movements as well as far-right. U.S. intelligence confirmed Russia helped & Jill Stein in 2016, & Russia is still amplifying Bernie/DSA-style attacks on Dems. Please be mindful

Has the MAGA Faithful also been having internet connectivity issues? Hmm?

Hasn't slowed down but computer literate poor people overseas are driving the movement. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Right!!!

Most of AfDs support is in east Germany lol.

How did it end the last time Russia supported the far right in Germany again?

That 3xplains this

Big surprise there.

I know isn’t that just maddening.

Has Nigels email stopped working?

russia has always been fake

Yes, the far-right is heavily dependent on manipulating opinion via bot-accounts. Ukraine's hitting Russian data centers has the potential to silence a lot of "voices" (pre-programmed bots). Rick Wilson has a great column about this Troll Army, today: www.againstallenemies.net/p/the-death-...

lol

Suddenly there aren't any separatists.

I got wind that the separatists are suddenly quiet. Imagine that! All of the Albertans that want to separate, who live in Russia, are suddenly quiet.

Elon buying Twitter was the dead giveaway.

‼️🤌

Oh, Putin was behind that one too?

The russian "state" has been at war with the West for years. This is just evidence of ONE of their hybrid ops. They were behind Brexit, and they have a worldwide propaganda program which has been operating for decades. Their most successful op to date is sitting in the WH.

Correct. Regarding both here and abroad.

You mean it's not a spontaneous, grass-roots movement?

I remember when Elon tried to back out of the Twitter deal because he claimed most of the active users were bots. Then he had to go through with it and magically shut the fuck up about the bot problem forever.

The Americans, however, are absolutely determined to reach this benchmark as quickly as possible. After all, they have already neutralized the intelligentsia. -silly billy

just today Burnham confirmed Brexit was also a russian ops. always been clear, now they finally admit it.

Don't know much about this, however the genesis could go both ways. Since AfD was founded in 2013, most likely was spawned from Russia. Interesting and now on the radar. Note this type of comnections came up during the 2016 elections. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organic...

The movement is very organic, the online presence is artificial. Look at the rise of far right governments in Europe. Germany's recent election speaks volumes.

Truly, one of the best gifts Ukraine can continue to give the world.

Anyone tracking a corresponding drop in "I blame the Dems for the Earth's rotation" tankie posting?

🤔 Fascinating. Wonder what other movements can be revealed…

Zelensky has pressed 'Mute' on Putin ... 😎

More of this please

@angrystaffer.bsky.social And for how long will we go on ignoring this?

One more reason to support Ukraine!

This is a masterstroke. Well played Ukraine. A few drones proved what the world already knew. Maybe now there’s not much point in the diesel deal, because Putin cannot deliver his part of the bargain.

can someone look into truth social and see if they had a similar drop

Now I understand why our pro-Russia pedophile is also pro-AfD!

After what the last major period or fascist domination in Europe did to the Soviet Union you'd think Russia would know where the real threat against them would be most likely to come from.

—> Propaganda Mills.

youtu.be/zJ59tuiaSiU?...

Hit them harder next time for me please

Psst… Zelenskyy: get a load of this

Look at Ukraine saving the west from the scourge of Russian disinformation warfare

it sounds like they have hit several yandex dc and crippled their redundancy. really awesome. hit even more datacenters, and i will be even more grateful.

The “For You” column in “X” has been unusually quiet today.

I wouldn't be surprised if the French demonstrations were amplified by bots.

I suspect the AFU is going to start getting a lot of private donations from admins of online communities in the West...

I mean how are they getting it tho? How is this measured

It’s almost as if Putin just wants everyone else to fail so he can look like a winner. What a loser.

Interested to see how this one datacentre take out effects the UK Far RIght Manipulation on Xhitler and facebook. Anyone doing any research onto that?

Russians know which weeds to water. It’s why they funded Trump’s business in 2016.

The AFD isn't far right. If not wanting migrants draining your economy, raping & terrorizing citizens, setting churches ablaze & driving cars into Christmas markets & pride parades is wrong...then I'm glad to be right.

They may not be organic but there are millions of mostly American men who fucking love it and they are real and about to blow a gasket for that mad king.

This is why there was no ONE at Trump's inauguration. The Russians couldn't attend. Remember all the empty stands.

Dems should run on a strong anti-Russia platform

I am very sceptical. There is no source, no explanation if what the graph depicts. The timeline goes into the future, how are there values for the 14th when he posted it on the 11th? Also, why, of all people, this guy, with a shall we say colourful past? Sniff test failed, until credibly sourced.

I’m really curious what this means. Don’t mean to be daft but can anyone expand on this explanation?

Someone should check to see how much user decline xitter and LIES Social have seen.

Russia is AfD. Russia is MAGA. Russia are the invaders. Russia = Nazis

Ukraine standing for democracies besides their own. Slava!

yall please this graph goes into the FUTURE its not real. there was a decrease, yes, but please dont fall for ai slop

Please Ukraine hit more of them

nos.nl/l/2634941 ondertussen wordt de zoon van een veroordeelde oud-leider weer aan de macht geholpen. Techbedrijven en hun invloed via de klote schermpjes.

It's past time to quarantine their internet.

Superb!

»Die Ukraine hat in den vergangenen Tagen mehrfach russische Rechenzentren von Yandex getroffen. Womöglich sind deshalb die Aktivitäten bösartiger Bots gesunken.« […]

Kommentar dazu: "Sorry nö. Zdechovský verbindet da die subjektive Behauptung, dass AfD-Aktivität weniger geworden wäre, mit einem Graphen, für den er keine Quelle angibt und der höchstwarscheinlich nichts mit Propaganda-Netzwerken zu tun hat. (1)

"Bot" im IT-Jargon (wie in den kursierenden Cloudflare-Daten verwendet) umfasst erstmal auch ganz normale Dienste, die von Suchmaschinen für die Indizierung von Webseiten verwendet werden. (2)

[Außerdem] benutzen die Botfarmen, die tatsächlich zur Social-Media-Manipulation eingesetzt werden, üblicherweise tonnenweise Smartphones mit eigenen SIM-Karten, denn Accounts, die alle aus dem selben Datencenter stammen, wären für die Plattformen ja ein leichtes Spiel. (3)

Also wenn der Schaden bei Yandex einen Effekt auf Online-Propaganda hätte (und dazu gibt es bisher wirklich nur subjektive Einschätzungen und reißerische Headlines), dann als Downstream-Effekt. Fallt nicht auf Erlösungs-Narrative rein, danke." (4)

Hitler said Make Germany great again

See thread. bsky.app/profile/left...

@angrystaffer.bsky.social Where does this graph come from?

God bless Ukraine, God bless Zelenskyy!

Zelensky, our nations need freedom.

Completely agree. Very important to stress that in both pre-war, post-WWII & post Cold War, the far-right didn't arise independently in different states but concurrently as an international network, building their brand through electoral success in other countries.

They learned from us in a way with the Tea Party the Koch bros funded and Murdoch broadcasted they just modernized it with the internet

No source, might be fake.

Putin's Russia is a threat to global democracies and world peace.

I didn't need persuading, but it's nice to see such a perfect field test.

It's good that you point this out. The people who need to see it sadly will not see it.

Well, "many people are saying". Or, " I have heard". Trump's tried and true bullshit as well.

Lies. Amplifiers. Fucking Twitter. Homeland brought this up eight years ago. It's incredible this is not public knowledge in the sense of people actually knowing about this.

Wow. Good thing Tangerine Hitler is sucking up to Putin.

Maybe there are less 'real' angry racists than you believe? We've always known there were massive BOT infestations in social media, so perhaps our perception has been affected by their outsized presence I believe there is LESS support in the real world for this madness Let's see how this pans out

This is very interesting … 😳

The world owes you in more ways than one...

Better late than never I suppose. Never mind the years people have been running down these bot accounts and finding [checks notes] Russian, Belarusian and Pakistani endpoints. Guess I’ll just go fuck myself now.

There's no link source, no methodology explained. What can we discuss here?

Duped? Or bribed?

This seems to be misinformation. The chart doesn't even mention AfD and nobody seems to know where it came from. More: chatgpt.com/share/6ace46...

100% correct.. we have been for decades..kruchev warned they would take us over without firing a shot.. kevin roberts stated we are in the 2nd revolution which will be bloodless if the "left" allows it.. there should NEVER have been such a thing as a billionaire.. they believe themselves to be gods

Cyber armies are cheaper than an actual military when you are a failing state like Russia.

I thought most 9f the disinfo bots where outside russia

AfD?

Most of the loudmouths telling us it's great to be fascist pricks turn out to be Russian agents or internet trolls? I remain Jack's complete lack of surprise.

Once again the Russians make a secret pact with the Nazis to undermine Europe......

Lol give Zelenskyy more drones! This is hilarious

YUP!!!

He made it so if you said "Russia" you'd be considered a conspiracy theorist. The only way a superpower like the US could fall so quickly was by an inside attack, orchestrated by a savvy KGB agent manipulating an ignorant Malignant Narcissist and using kompromat on others. It's always been Russia.

Find all of these data centers and bomb the crap out of them. I'm sure there are more.

Even 100% proof of Russian influence being inside MAGA makes a dent, socially or legally.

Thank you Ukraine

not big news, Putin/Russia is doing everything they can to cause the destruction of western democracies. they have succeeded in America and are now finishing off the EU. the one thing that can be done to fix this is disappear Putin.

A true menace to us all. Putin needs to be destroyed.

i have NO doubt of it! back during bush/cheney years, dkos website was OVERRUN with isreal/palestine "pie fights".. EVERY election cycle, out of nowhere previously unknown troll accounts appeared.. it's no doubt psyop.. the powell memo called for controlling media.. now with ai,good luck humanity..🤬
