It has just jumped out at me how consistently and reliably items on that topic generate those responses. It's also consistent with available open-source info on ops of the CCP and Russian govt. which include social media trolling to promote their POV, undermine rival POVs, and/or sow discord (and considering the ROI on such ops, they'd be negligent to not do them considering there's no resistance).
In any case, I'll take a closer look before commenting.
I don't mean to pile on, but this is exactly the point: what jumps out at each of us is precisely the stuff that we find most disagreeable. If you had the opposite preference, opposite stuff would jump out. The effect that this has is very strong, and the conclusions it produces are completely unreliable. (I'm talking about all of us here, not you personally!)
>>but this is exactly the point, what jumps out at each of us is precisely the stuff that we find most disagreeable.
Yup, that is a good point, so I should be looking more strongly for that effect and contrary indicators as well.
Thx for being persistent enough to clarify.
As you, I'd expect that it exists, but I have little information on the extent. I'd assume it is competent, but it isn't relevant here, since the overall topic is about CCP operations on the grounds of a US university and operations here in a US-based online forum.
If you have information of interest on US ops in foreign (to the US) social media, please post it!
Then why mention Russian psyops here? Had you stuck purely to CCP matters I'd believe you.

Really? What am I for you, free QA?
That is so extremely far from the case that I think it may be a classic example of the notice-dislike bias (https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).
