Yeah. I think it's safe to say that Russia and China have figured out how to massively influence public opinion through careful engineering of social media.
I am quite sure that some people who've assured me of Russia's good intentions in all of this, and some people who've firmly been relaying to me certain of their views on US politics, are genuine for-real people who've been engineered to think what they think because they see other "people" saying the same on social media.
