Are we really as divided as we have been led to believe?

I read an article today about how Russian bot heavily influenced the negative social media reception to “The Last Jedi”

It’s fascinating how broadly the Russians are willing to reach to amplify that which divides us.

All the arguing over Dems vs Repubs recently... how much of it is being amplified by agents (not secret agents dummy!) that benefit from the chaos.

My advice to those that find themselves sucked into an irrational argument is to step back and ask yourself: are you accomplishing anything?

Once someone shows evidence of not discussing with sincerity, there’s no point in continuing to engage those folks.

Just something to consider.

it is called, "Divide and Conquer" as long as we fight our countrymen, we are not noticing the whole sale Theft of our national economy, [b]by the powerful, for the powerful.[/b]
the same it true in Russia, where they have a similar mythology about how they have to beat the bad old Americanski, or thwart the Ukraine or own the Crimea

It is a most Ancient Con job

@SatyrService it is definitely an ancient con job. We just now have a better platform for spreading it like wildfire.

Indeed.

Within the US, this started in the 20’s.

The Rockefeller’s dispatched people to create conflict where there was none.

The common folks fight amongst one another and the rich proceed unnoticed.

The wall and the “national emergency “ is a shell game being played in Washington, and we are buying into it.
