There are interesting people in this forum. I am also near certain (99%+ posts in the OT board) that we have at least one Russian bot (well actually poor sap working in an office building in Moscow working literally for "the man"). Ignore works but I still see that they have posted.

It is the slow season. Football hasn't started. BB is just playing out the string. It would be nice to interact with smart Cal-affiliated folks but not anonymous posters who are likely angi-prop people (or boomers posting from their winter home with WAY too much time on hands).

I've said it before: can you imagine having your detail be providing propaganda on the off topic section of a sparsely populated message board for a university with an almost relegated football team?

That's like being stationed in Siberia.

I love our Bears, but you're not good at your job if this is where you log on to with dreams of making a disinformation difference. I sure hope it's a bot, because if it's a human… that sucks. For the greater good, I suppose?

LOL. I am enjoying trolling him. I actually don't KNOW if he is a bot or an agitprop. He easily could be a trump'ite from some place who decided to troll the libs from Bezerkely.

How Russian disinformation is reaching the U.S. ahead of the 2024 election


https://www.nbcnews.com/specials/russian-disinformation-2024-election-storm-1516/index.html

My guess is that at least 30% of Americans believe the disinformation Russia has been dumping here for years….and there is a reason why they bought it and elected Trump, TWICE:

A majority of Americans cannot name a single branch of government or explain what the Bill of Rights is;

2. 24% can't name the country that the U.S. fought in the Revolutionary War;

3. 2/3 don't know what the holding of Roe v. Wade is;

4. 2/3 don't know what the Food and Drug Administration does;

5. 50% don't know each state has two senators;

6. More than 50% can't name their congressman;

7. The average voter thinks 24% of the U.S. budget goes to foreign aid (less than 1% does);

8. 18% thinks the sun revolves around the earth;

9. 50% don't know that Judaism predates Christianity
