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.

Did you ever stop to consider that just maybe the Russian boogeyman excuse is being used to rile you up, or do you just blindly accept it everytime someone screams, "The Russians Did It!"?

My friend, you are the best kind of troll.

To be honest though, it’s not only Russian bots. There are people in the alt-right movement that also act to exaggerate the conflict.

I know science confuses people like you.

@Sicarium I think it very much did,, did you not just suggest that all this is a smoke screen? whether Blame the Russians OR the Libtards.

it is still there to distract us.

@SatyrService No, the reality was as just demonstrated by @JoeyFoxx. This is all nonsense to justify closed-minded, tribalist idiocy.
