Yes.

While some of it has other purposes, as well, destabilizing America by exacerbating and radicalizing existing internal political divisions is clearly a central purpose of the effort, so “seems to mostly piss people off” is actually a sign that it is working (especially when you consider the details of who is pissed off and what they direct that anger at.)

I hope google is not trying to destabilize america, which it sounds like you are arguing is a good thing.

I read “it” in the question as referring to the false-flag propaganda that Google is targeting, not Google's response.

That reading does depend on trying to ascertain which of the two sentences in the precedinh comment was being referenced without an explicit indicator, and that certainly could be wrong.
