[Peace-discuss] Biggest gaslighting campaign in history?

[David Johnson]

>From the last paragraph of the article ;

“ The researchers note repeatedly that it’s impossible to measure the precise effect of the Russian influence operation on the outcome of the 2016 election. But one also wonders how to measure the impact of Russian activities—assuming they had any impact at all—on creating our growing sense of leaky, mushy reality.”

 

Wow, this entire article is the best example I have ever seen of  “ leaky, mushy reality “.

Oh, I agree--Russian propaganda is cognitively disturbing--if your cognitive isn't screwed on right.  Just the picture of Hillary with horns growing out of her head convinced me to vote against her!  Hacked Russian propaganda is insidious, if not perplexing.  Wonder if U.S. election interference in other nations is as damaging?  Maybe they see it as "take the money and run..."

Why the Russian Influence Campaign Remains So Hard to Understand

Americans assume that propaganda serves a clear, actionable objective, but totalitarian propaganda is cacophonous. Its purpose is to take away your ability to perceive reality.
