First, as far as I can tell you're equating likely foreign state propaganda with what appears to be a diffuse meme organization so they can't be assumed to be the same thing.

Secondly, for political messages it should be clear who the message is coming from! If this organization is coordinating messages that should be public (though from looking them up it sounds like they are already fairly public with it).

Open, fair, and honest elections are important. People always whine on about what the other side is doing but I want that fixed, too and I would gladly work with anyone that wants to fix both but sadly it's much more common to see continuous deflections to the other side (because they know their side is indefensible) rather than a desire for real change.

It's really hard to take this line of argument seriously. Drawing parallels between a Twitter meme account run by a half dozen guys and a state intelligence apparatus is absurd.

Those "half dozen guys" are actually thousands of coordinated accounts. They had an official summit in Vilnius during the NATO summit, with official visitors such as ministers and presidents.

Okay, name two presidents who visited the NAFO summit.

Look it up. It's a fascinating system of the global hacker mindset fighting Russian propaganda.

Comic relief.
