Troed Sångberg<p>I think there's a general need for education regarding influence operations (and my focus is on those by Russia) here on the fediverse.</p><p>1) No, Russia isn't just pushing right-wing agendas/topics. The _stated_ purpose, from 1997 IIRC, is to sow division in the west. That means that there's roughly an equal chance that a raging leftwing lunatic is on Russia's payroll as your average Tate-Musk-Trump-Orban-Fico fanatic.</p><p>2) "Doomism" is a goal. The more we are complaining on how bad things are - the more successful they are. A great way to counter these influence operations is to talk about how _good_ things are. Because there's plenty of awesomeness in our society (I'm not from the US - that's a global perspective) to share.</p><p>3) These operations are _long term_. The troll factories aren't just newly created accounts spamming out the same message everywhere. That online magazine that has published for 10 years could be a sleeper influence operation. A person _living in Germany_ spending time online just as anybody else could too. </p><p>4) You're getting influenced. Basic psychology says you cannot avoid it (the anchoring effect). The only thing you can do is to be aware of it, and actively working against the very goals of the influence operations.</p><p>Remember what those were now again?</p><p><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/InfluenceOperations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>InfluenceOperations</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Russia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Russia</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/MAGA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MAGA</span></a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Politics</span></a></p>
SS2K<p>I'm sure there are studies on it, but this is just my observation: The US is a microcosm of our planet. Just like in the US, a tiny percentage of nations control the earth's resources. And similar to how major powers like the US, China, Russia, etc., engage in influence campaigns to put someone who will do their bidding in power in countries all around the world, billionaires and corporations do the same domestically within the US.</p><p><a href="https://defcon.social/tags/sociology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sociology</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/influenceoperations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>influenceoperations</span></a></p>

SS2K<p>It's important to remember—or learn and teach—our history and ongoing practice of creating terrible conditions that result in people fleeing north to the US.
