A couple of originals I tend to feel are likely true:

  • The Russians helped promote the boom in cuck porn.

  • The Congressional baseball game shooting was a setup by Trump allies and the FBI helped cover it up.

    What would be the benefit of Russians promoting cuxk porn? Or do you just mean it was promoted via consumption?

    Will do my best, but I'm typing on mobile: I'm thinking particularly of the interracial, "a black man can fuck your woman better than you" stuff, which seemed to me to bubble up from 4chan. Much like Pepe stuff, Q stuff, etc. Epstein was even involved there, it now turns out. So wouldn't be without precedent. Anyway, Russia's information warfare has for decades been about encouraging social wedges, destabilization. They promote fake conservative shit, they promote fake liberal shit, fake science shit, whatever sows division. The US' biggest weak spot is its racism. No better wedge. And no better way to get at that than "your wife secretly wants a black man" weird shit that is ever-present and constant on 4chan. That's the gist, without unpacking it all.
