Russia had N O T H I N G to do with what happened in Charlottesville. I have seen the perpetrators with my own eyes, been inside their organizing circles, exposed them, and more. Not one trace of Russian involvement.https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1028375273757188097 …

‘Material’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting for you. Attitudes and activism are shaped and stirred by propaganda. Show me “material evidence” that Nazi propaganda or war or Soviet propaganda had any impact. It did tho.

Show me the evidence that Russian propaganda had 1/1000th the influence of American billionaires on this topic?

Show me evidence of how much Nazi propaganda influenced Germans in the 1930s.

Your historical comparison is misguided. Russian impact, which exists, is more akin to Trumpism, whereas the alt-right’s street violence is more like the SA, which was ultimately so heavily disfavored that it led to the Night of the Long Knives.

Thank you for the acknowledgement that Russian impact exists. If you want me to rephrase with night of the long knives, I’ll be happy to 1/2

Show me evidence of how much Nazi propaganda influenced The Night of the Long Knives.

Ok but the equivalent to that would be trump murdering Jason kessler. That hasn’t happened yet.

Trump and Kessler are each one person. Use whatever analogy you like. The fact is that it’s impossible to prove the impact of propaganda on any particular action. That does not mean that propaganda has no impact. I’ll rephrase again 1/2
