All of what currently ails western society online is likely to be a russian psyop. All of it. We've left ourselves open to direct manipulation.

No, we did this to ourselves. Blaming Russia is the easy way out... even when it's likely true, as in the trajectory of Trump's career.

A healthy, rational society would be much harder to bamboozle -- by Russians or demagogues or preachers or billionaires or anyone else -- than Americans have proven to be. Over the last 10-20 years, many events that I thought would serve to immunize us to BS have fed an addiction instead.
