Perhaps I’m just paranoid.
Regardless of whether or not these particular comments are US intelligence, I am 100% convinced that Trump is going to try and make Alberta the Canadian Donbas.
They’ll do their little Wexit vote thing and they’ll lose, but there will be a massive amount of disinfo in all of the places you’d expect saying it was rigged, and they’ll just escalate from there. Who knows when the guns break out, but I feel like there are people down south who are planning on this leading to a military “liberation”
Albertan First Nations need to steal the spotlight.
Is that Youtube comments?
Lol, if you are just realizing this, I think you are late to the party buddy.
Youtube has been filled with extremist comments for a while, like at least a decade now.
Obviously not from Alberta. Proper grammar and punctuation is a dead give away.
This has been happening for a while on shit like toktok. I personally suspected Russia.
This can be anybody really. Russia for example is known to just stir the pot as much as possible. Whatever argument will cause destabilization.
Would be nice if people just completely disregarded the opinion of about 5 obvious bots or a troll house. Counting on you Canada. Don’t get sucked into the social media shit hole like the rest of the world did.
Bot avalanche. I’m sitting here with in laws from AB, life long conservatives they think Marlaina is a big mouthed idiot, for the first time in their life they voted liberal because Polievre is not a compelling leader - and them and none of their conservative Christian friends or anyone they know anywhere in Alberta have any interest in separating. The internet doesn’t reflect the real world. There IS no critical mass of people in AB who want to separate. And oil & gas is not a culture, it’s an industry - not an identity.
That’s what a French teacher in Alberta was saying today, being from Quebec they have an opinion on separatism may they want it or not.
“Being allowed to pollute as much as you want isn’t a national project contrary to Quebec’s project when they had their referendums.”
Closer to #40 by GDP if they were to keep their economy as strong as it is now, which they wouldn’t as they would be landlocked and absorbed by the US in a matter of months and would then by #23 out of 51 states instead of the #1 province…
this is everywhere. I can’t read comments on UK news videos because they’re spammed with absolutely vile sewage spewed from LOADS of accounts. definitely botting going on.
As someone who lives in Southern Alberta. I can say that no one I’ve spoken to would support this nonsense. Mainly because they understand how levels of government work, how funding works, and how trade deals work. The basics lol.
it is extremely likely that llm bot account Farms are behind this, inauthentic behavior networks are for sale and are routinely used to boost right wing bullshit like this these days. you are not paranoid if they are actually out to get you
What’s hilarious about it, though, was something evident while watching the outcome of the elections here in Australia.
The right wing funders pay for these bots. The tame billionaire press report on the groundswell of support… And then the right wing politicians and strategists believe the papers and TV pundits that they ‘trust’. Meaning that they have no actual fucking clue what the people’s mood truly is. And can’t react to it.
So you get the absolute hilarity of watching right wing pollies have their worldview crushed live on air as election results come in. Our right wing guys believed the press and their own analysis that they were in with a shot at government - and were disavowed fast and thoroughly while the nation watched them get the worst trouncing in decades.
The problem with disinformation programs is that you risk catching yourself in them.
Canada should ban YouTube for being foreign interference with their sovereignty.
If you’re suspecting the youtube comments of being manipulated in ways that are contrary to the interests of Canada, you’re not nearly paranoid enough. You should be suspecting the youtube video recommendations algorithm.
I was watching the election results on the YouTube of an independent left leaning news group. I never log in to YouTube and rarely use it - at least the top 5 suggested videos based on what I was watching were right leaning news outlets also covering the election. I had to scroll quite a bit to even find even major publications like CBC.
It’s likely not even a US op, and division like this benefits places like China and Russia even more.
Why not both meme?
All the US did was take Russia off the cyberthreat list and stop monitoring their VPNs. The Russian bots have been very obvious across all US platforms.
A data scientist supposedly uses emojis like that?!
Have you seen Git project READMEs? Also what’s the problem with it really?
It was a tweet, not a dissertation.
It’s time to recognize that the US is fully capable and has deployed propaganda operations throughout the world over the years. We may or may not have been a target so far, but the more we try to decouple, the more we’re becoming a likely target. And they’re not gonna come out and say we’re being targeted.
America is Russia.
Cant spell russia without usa!
Amerussia
@dwazou Just because your paranoid, it doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you
