    One of the recent Trueanon episodes covered this, where Russia has been caught trying to boost the right wing, pro-Trump platform Tenet Media featuring right wing influencers like Tim Pool and Dave Rubin.

    And this is only the one that got caught and exposed. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Russia playing a large role behind agitating culture war in America. The MAGA Republican chud position is not that different from your average Russian these days.

      The maga chud position is like boilerplate fascist shit. It’s not unique really. Strong man strong. Return to tradition. The outside enemy is always there. The enemy is strong yet weak etc etc. Russia do be instigating to a degree just like other countries be doing to each other.

      Oh shit, I remember now, I did listen to that Trueanon, I remember the name Eduard Grigoriann.

      Interestingly, the allegations didn’t really stick with me. I remember thinking “Oh great, Lauren Chen is being bankrolled by Russia. Neat, who cares, strange little bit of conservative hypocrisy there I guess”. And I literally haven’t thought about it since.
