    You bring up some interesting points about the billionaires and their desire about a new world order (dark enlightenment, longtermism etc) in the US, those who hold the most power. But how in the world do you square that with this:

    Anyone who claims that Russia is NOT behind all of this is either Russian, a traitor, or stupid.

    So are the billionaires also controlled by Putin? How can both be true? Or do you think Putin holds more influence over US elections that the US billionaires and tech bros do?

    PS: Let me make my point clearer: I don’t doubt that Putin helped Trump and sow discord in the US - but who is to blame for allowing this? These are cheap things to do for any foreign actor now because we allowed to run news and social media purely for profit. If greed is good, nothing but money matters, why wouldn’t those companies make advertising deals bad actors? So blaming Putin for this is propaganda itself, because it disguises the actual causes of the democratic backsliding which started way before Trump, and would have happened despite Trump.
