So freaking amused to imagine KPI analyses going on at troll farms in Moscow.

The "revelations" that Stalin's mini me is funding the operation falls under the technical term of "no shit Sherlock". But what is encouraging is that it some of the details released to the public. Just imagine if big bad Bill Barr we're still heading up the DOJ. That sausage would never show how the sausages made.

The "stupidifcation"of society is social media (another no shit Sherlock comment), phones we carry (and make snarky comments to periodicals). Beer is not the opiate of the masses, it's tiktok (but not substack).

Another technique used is “blast email” via Grey mail. Ever wonder how those political messages show up in your inbox? They are effective even if the recipient doesn’t actually open it as the header is usually visible. “Comrade Kamala will….” “Trump is our only hope.” “Bias at DOJ.” You can’t unsee them. They are little neurological seeds planted in the subconscious of the target audience.
