    So basically what they’re doing to every other western nation.

    You mean western nations’ government policies are all perfect and people pushing against them are Russian shills? And making their politicians look bad?

    Maybe those governments and politicians are Russia-infiltrated, and these complaints are resistance.

      This is the sort of stupidification of issues that we see from bot farms: cherry pick one point, then blow it out of proportion so that there’s no more nuance, no more gray, no room for middle ground.

      Everything becomes black and white, polarised, simple: with us or against us.

      Fucking moron.

      You say “maybe” like it’s some unknowable quantity, but we can see what is going on in Hungary and that it’s getting increasingly authoritarian, and we can see Russian attempts to influence western democracies through bot farms and the like. It’s not unknowable; the evidence is there.
