Not content with their queering of the political pitch, those rat bot bastards are now using popular culture as a means to create division in America, according to a researcher named Morten Bay.
Apparently, around 50% of the negative responses to the latest Star Wars film came from political troll accounts, many of them automated.
In the recently published study Weaponizing The Haters: The Last Jedi he explains; '“The likely objective of these measures is increasing media coverage of the fandom conflict, thereby adding to and further propagating a narrative of widespread discord and dysfunction in American society. A number of these users appear to be Russian trolls.”
Even the film's director Rian Johnson agrees (though I guess he would, wouldn't he?) that something's not right here.
A bit of Morten’s research came out awhile ago and made some headlines - here’s his full paper. Looking forward to reading it, but what the top-line describes is consistent with my experience online. https://t.co/MTRgmPxGgZ
