    they suspected many far-right accounts are actually foreign individuals cosplaying as Western reactionaries to farm clicks

    That’s not what most people suspected.

    What? Yes it is, most people with a functioning brain know most far right accounts are run by foreign individuals. You know this because each one has had a moment like this:

    Everyone knows the Reich wing is easily manipulated, due to their gross ignorance and unwillingness to learn. Magats are only allowed to parrot fox entertainment talking points and other Reich wing news media, or be ostracized.

      It’s the emphasis on “individuals” and the out-of-left-field supposition “to farm clicks” that I objected to. The idea that they are being run not from within the US is 100% accurate, yes.

        Ah ok, that read like you were saying it wasn’t a known issue. But yeah, it’s definitely not individuals, it’s foreign, and probably domestic, governments. I don’t doubt for a second that the group of pedophiles has outsourced their own propaganda.
