    Zero cited sources in this link. Also, Cuba is what you’re worried about? It’s literally every country. Israel, perhaps? Turkey? Fucking Belgium is probably paying some troll to post on Lemmy.

      I’m open to offers from the Belgian secret services.

      Nobody pays for troll posts on Lemmy. Lemmy is completely irrelevant and additionally the people are above average smart and critical etc. so far harder to influence.

        I know plenty of people with technical smarts and high IQs who regularly fall for disinformation scams. Lots of smart people are as prone to believing what they want to believe as complete idiots.

        People with strong intuition often make it through life without ever seriously developing critical thinking skills because they simply don’t need them.

          Sure, but just compare people here with random people on Facebook, let alone the truth thing. Far harder to get to.

            Lemmy’s origins are as an alternative platform for Russian shills and sympathizers to spread misinformation, and the founders / developers are deeply stuck in that bubble. Sometimes being smart makes people more prone to conspiracy thinking instead of less.

        Absolutely. Couldn’t agree more.

        and additionally the people are above average smart and critical etc. so far harder to influence.

        No one, not a single human on this planet, is immune to influence. Anyone who thinks themselves above or beyond the ability to influence is actually easier to influence, since they won’t see the signs of their own manipulation.

    Conservatives don’t need their help. The GOP will use Hurricane Milton as an excuse to not certify the election, throwing the decision to the House of Representatives where Trump wins based on the higher number of red states.

    Get ready for the normal people to get fucked by the conservatives. Never in history has there been a peaceful cure for fascism. Never.
