After the fallout of Cambridge Analytica, the Kremlin troll farms appear to be the greatest disruptor of democratic processes around the world. In turn, this is possibly one of the greatest factors contributing towards the global populist turn. This has doubled down with Trump and the surge of right-wing extremism. Yet, democratic governments do very little to counter it. We are here to expose the problem. #fakenews #disinformation #propaganda

Nepravda (rus. неправда) - 1. untruth; 2. injustice; 3. a play of words with the name of the official newspaper of the USSR.

... effectively admitting that he works for Russian interests.

...as he does for crypto and other corrupt money.

He just sells to the highest bidders.

Quite right. It's silly how bad at simply leading almost every world leader is - and it's crazy to know that on some level it's deliberate top-down class warfare, but saying so makes me feel like a nutcase.

not "every", we have plenty of positive examples, but there are so many equilibria in place that are anything but democratic.
