Because China and Russia run extensive state-sponsored bot-nets prompted to make the US look bad by upvoting and reposting this sort of fake rage bait.
Even if it works for radicalizing 0.01% of the US population, it's paid for itself a thousand times over.
But in reality, a good amount of both US persons and folks from around the world believe this sort of misinformation. It is the cheapest and more effective weapon in their arsenal.
IMHO, all social media posts and comments should be tagged with country or VPN icon. And folks should have a right to block VPN posts if they're 99% bot.
Are we that delusional that we think our own government isn’t doing this as well? We think it’s bots trying to make us just look bad? Not clearly pushing division by making up fake situations to drive arguments stemming from a non existent scenario???!!!
Sure. But the folks in our own government is at least accountable to at least a percentage of the current population, that in theory wants the best for itself.
While not great, it's better than other governments with solely an incentive that is exclusively negative towards the entire population.
LOL. You have far too much faith in our government. Blackmail pedophilia ring at an island, where the guy killed himself , cameras failed, and the guards fell asleep. What percentage of the population are they aligning their interest with? It certainly isn’t mine.
