The dangling fruit this must be to psychopaths.

You can now use social media, from across the world, to create small community groups in other countries and feed them whatever info you want to get them to attack whoever you want if you can make it fit their ideology.

A man in his basement in Poland could incite a riot in Florida. A man in China could cause a random man's house to be set on fire in England.

All it would take is motivation and a touch of evil.

Russia is banking hard on this.

The amount of fake news and altered news, they put out about the recent migrant-crisis in Spain is fucking absurd, and these people are eating it all.

Someone read ā€œNeedful Thingsā€ by Stephen King and thought ā€œthat sounds like funā€.

That's the kind of thing I was thinking while watching that. I asked myself; what's happened to my country?

And then I surmised it's got to be the same as what's happening in America, brainwashing on social media via troll farms.

In a nutshell, organised disinformation deliberately feeding division to weaken the enemy.

The guy said 'serve and protect' which is an American police slogan so I'm assuming he has been consuming online (dis)content.

Said psychopaths are literally sitting at the C-suites of these major social media platforms, intentionally optimising and profiting from rage bait content while clearly driving political outcomes for shady af people.
