Not saying is new (examples of this in 60s, 70s etc both domestically and as active measures). Just saying folks need to be aware of them.

However they like. But one good idea is to call him out on the fact he's responding in bad faith.
-
DO you have any evidence of that working in the last 2 years? Or similar efforts working in recent US history?

I'm quite confident we're talking cross purposes, because this is a very long way away from what my thread was about.
-
For the comments in your thread to be valid, we would have to live in a very very different political world than we do.
-
BUt given the political world we live in--where legit protest can be attacked using non-RU magnifying methods--you've delegitimized tactics
-
Hashtag politics have worked in past, work now. Until that changes or better tactics identified you will continue to see this, organic or no

You totally missed his point and are arguing a separate issue. He's just saying RU amplifies existing divisions to drive a greater wedge.
-
No 1) Underlying piece said hashtag went viral organically, so that claim is actually false 2) You're missing my point abt what he's missing
-
His argument has nothing to do with the origins of the hashtag, just the purpose of the bots. That's it.
-
Thank you. And my point has to do with the purpose of the bots. That's it.
-
Okay. I see what you're saying. Both points are valid. Have we seen any evidence of who else is funding political bot networks?
-
DFR thing that started this suggests the Anti-NFL hashtag paid by right wing noise machine. Is non-conclusive abt Take a Knee.
-
One ENORMOUS mistake that has arisen out of focus on RU is people ignore how much right wing does this, and has for years.
-
By ignoring that question, we're ignoring the difficulty of the answers, and even the sensitivities around demanding social media sharing.
