This is not surprising, and I wonder what people think about the motives behind Russia posting on Reddit and other forums about domestic Canadian issues? 

Whether or not you agree with what they say, is it not obvious that this is antinationalist?

I only heard about this through a radio documentary today... Basically a handful of posters reposting fake articles to give the appearance of larger numbers. Those posters are from Russia.

What about Canadian propaganda on Canadian reddit?  Chinese propaganda.  Anti Israel propaganda from several organizations.  Pro American propaganda.  I"m not sure why you would just pick up on Russian, it's a smorgasbord of propaganda all across the internet.  And they do it because it works, too many people simply believe what they read.

Of course it's a problem with other Nations, but the article is about Russia.

But we don't know is how much it matters. 

 

Or how much we THINK IT MATTERS. 

 

Think about it. For decades, when something was important, we all watched it on the same few TV channels.  And so things had an impact. 

 

Today, not so much. As I have read, we are in an epistemic crisis. No one knows for sure what facts are, no one knows what's important. 

No wonder there's chaos.
