It’s not trivial, but I’m starting to think so. Take this user for example:

There are some neutral posts, but many rage-bait articles from a very shitty news source concentrating on this community.
Is this from a bot account? 22 posts within an hour, no comments… And the friggin Gaurdian… Are they a valid news source at all?
Politics 101. Accuse the opposition with the stuff you’re doing.
Hungary is low-hanging fruit in this example, but that’s where I was when I started paying attention to politics. Anytime the government said something about ‘the enemy’, it was a safe bet to assume Orbán & co were the perpetrators.
Not even instead. Maybe they won’t need to rely that heavily on that axis, but this should be mutually beneficial.
I think we’re all sceptic of Modi et al, but we only have a semblance of power over our own governing bodies.
