There is an interesting book called 'Not Born Yesterday' that points out that people are pretty skeptical .

Russian disinformation campaigns the past 20 years have been outrageously effective.

  • Only because of the invention of western platforms tuned by the brightest minds in the world to enable the maximum amount of brainwashing

    • That's not true. Old-school disinformation platforms like TV, bought political parties, etc., worked and still work fine for disinformation and division. If you're not familiar with the subject, you'd be surprised just how inventive these campaigns can be.
