              I don’t care what .ml is doing.

              I’m not a centrist.

              I was inferring that Russian bot farms and propaganda Mills like to sew discourse about socialism in America they don’t necessarily agree or disagree with socialism they simply like to make people fight over it.

              You made an assumption that was incorrect which is generally what assumptions are.

            Centrists don’t care if the method they use to attempt to smear anyone to their left is grounded in reality.

            They’re like republicans in that respect. And most other respects.

        I’ve always felt like Russian bot farms and propaganda Mills like to push discourse about socialism in the United States.

        It’s not that they’re necessarily in support or against socialism they just like to have people arguing about it for whatever reason.

                На самом деле я говорю на трех разных языках. Только не этот. Я не должен знать, что это значит.

                  Ah, it’s a popular Latin phrase used in English, it means, who benefits?

                  As in, where is the motive?

                    I would argue that Russia benefits from sowing discord, something it has historically demonstrated a consistent willingness to do.

                    Think about it: the more Americans hate socialism, the more likely they are to support capitalism without questioning whether the current system actually serves their interests. A population conditioned to reject anything labeled socialist is less likely to support policies that could benefit the general public, even when those policies have broad public support. From that perspective, why wouldn’t Russia encourage that kind of division?

                    To answer your question, Russia stands to benefit from this strategy or, at the very least, its leadership believes it does.
