The strategy I laid out is effective to all potential adversaries of this manner. That includes any institutions which try to wield the fire instead of putting it out.

I'd be careful with your words though. They have a defeatist attitude and may perpetuate said attitude. That is still a win for those trying to sow discord within our societies. You get people to either fight one another or shut up, but that still leaves no one to fight the dragon pulling the strings (in this case, many dragons). So I'm actively encouraging opening our voices, but to do it with care. Staying silent may not be akin to actively engaging in the inter-fighting, but it is enabling it. We're at a point where the fire won't put itself out and if we don't act accordingly, it will burn the whole house down.

The goal is to poison the well. If you convince people that Russia has no specific goal except spreading evil and discord, you can 1) ascribe any act to Russia without having to come up with any reason why they would do it, and 2) not-so-subtly turn him to Satan in the Protestant mind, the only being whose only object is chaos.

Putin does the same thing in Russia (as US intelligence agencies do in the US.) With one of his major power centers being the Russian Orthodox Church, he can frame every external attack as an attack on religion, and a sign of the end-times - one of the reasons for the extremely homophobic policy and culture he's helped grow. The West is trying to turn us gay to destroy our religion.

Because people under the age of 40 are consuming less moss media every year. You gotta go where the eyeballs are.

These are not independent issues. Domestic media can and has reported on stories/narratives seeded by Russian misinformation campaigns.
