    If you see memes & misinfo trend about immigration, Ukraine, drugs, vaccines, climate change, abortion, gas & oil, politics, NATO, EVs, MAGA, Palestine / Israel, dissidents etc. then invariably there is a bad actor driving that crap.

    The thing is, there’s a lot of stuff in those topics you list that we need to have social discourse about and there are legitimate differences of opinion on. I don’t think you can write everyone that is against what somebody/government deems as “approved fact” as a bad actor. I’m sure I would disagree with you on a number of those topics and would argue them in good faith. This is what makes it all so hard.

      Yes you can have a social discourse. What I mean is somebody took time to turn some disinfo in meme form and amplify it. This is inauthentic actors poisoning discussions with lies and division.

      The best lie is the one that contains grains of truth
