The only way that works is because angry liberals come to places like CE and Reddit and make posts to bitch about it.


No the way it works is angry conservatives come to places like CE and post articles about BLM that turned out to be made by Russians.

I'm sure you know someone like that.


You clearly don't understand how ad targeting works.

That's exactly why they did it. The stuff targeting left-wing groups was really just to incite far-right groups.

This is the thing where I posted literal proof of the targeted groups and you guys are ignoring it because it destroys your point.

Or because you don't know how ad targeting works.

Pissing off liberals isn't advantageous to Russia.

Russia is not some kid on 4chan trolling, stop acting like there was no reason behind all of this.

You see, it's the Russian's fault that Addy was constantly posting Russian racebait. He has no culpability over his own actions, the Russians made him do it cause he was targeted.

I'm calm and pretty assured, actually, since I posted evidence to completely support my point. All you and broseph are doing is slinging insults and putting your head in the sand because you don't like the facts.

literally every expert surrounding the issue has said that Russia's goal was to destabilize the US, reduce sanctions levied against them, reduce the power of NATO and the EU, and prevent leaders who would be strong against Russia from being elected
increasing polarization by targeting both liberals and conservatives helps this

I notice none of you have bothered to quote any of the ads posted and discuss them, and everyone with a brain knows exactly why.

This is what Russia does to countries to destabilize them. Polarize the far left and far right.

They backed Trump sure, but they also backed that insufferable bitch Jill Stein as well.

Hell, she was at the same state dinner as Mike Flynn in 2015 for crying out loud.

Ok, lets discuss the ads.

I noticed on all of those pictures you posted, the destination for those ads were primarily Facebook.com, and a few on Instagram, and even one on blackmatterus.com. I didn't see a single one that was meant for gamefaqs.com, yet for some reason that crap still proliferated here anyways.

Why is that, Addy?

Wow, I didn't think I needed to explain this on such a remedial level, but I'll actually indulge you since you clearly were too lazy to read the article.

1. These are all ads that appeared on Facebook and Instagram (Instragram is owned by Facebook).
2. These were released part of the Congressional probe into Facebook specifically that has been in the news the past few months
3. The "ad landing page" is the link in the ad, not where the ad was posted

Downloaded on of the zip files just to see. There are a ton of BLM/racial oppression ads in there.

Stirring up racial tension in the U.S. was definitely one of their key strategies, and going by the posts on CE, it was clearly effectively at influencing millennials.


You realize the target with this was conservatives, right?

In other words, the shit you complain about every day.


Nope, there were plenty of them targeted at black people to make them feel victimized. Both sides were targeted.

What the fuck happened to you, you used to try harder than this.


It's been pretty widely reported (well, by everywhere except maybe your alt-news echo chambers) that the ads *were* targeting individuals on both sides to escalate tensions. Scratch that, EVEN the echo chambers acknowledged that both sides were being played by these ads. The only people who seem unaware of that are some Gamefaqs posters

https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2018/01/russian-trolls-hyped-anger-over-black-lives-matter-more-than-previously-known/

Even @jack got duped by them. Shortly after a Kremlin-run troll factory known as the Internet Research Agency was first exposed last October by Russian journalists, the Daily Beast reported that Twitters CEO, Jack Dorsey, had twice retweeted an account that claimed to be an African-American woman but was in fact operated by the IRA in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Dorsey retweeted content in March 2017 from @Crystal1Johnson that referenced #WomensHistoryMonth and said Nobody is born a racist. But @Crystal1Johnson was also highly active in a heated social-media war over racial justice and police shootings that played out during the 2016 presidential campaign. Now, new research out of the University of Washington shows the troll that duped Dorsey was among 29 known Russian accounts infiltrating both left-leaning and right-leaning sides of a Twitter melee that included shooting-related keywords and the hashtags #BlackLivesMatter, #BlueLivesMatter and #AllLivesMatter.
