And I love how gay unemployed 20 somethings on think that a vast interconnected network involving the US government, independent media, Verizon, etc, conspired to delete a couple dozen blogs on a dying blogging platform is somehow more likely than a gay unemployed twenty something disillusioned with American politics unknowingly following a sockpuppet account or two back in 2016.

#there’s a certain narcissism inherent in all Russian Troll denialism #in that the most ardent deniers are almost always people who followed several of these blogs and had their politics influenced #but don’t want to admit that they were duped #because guess what! 80% of what those blogs said was designed to line up with their intended audience’s beliefs! that’s how it works #and then they would drop in the suggestion of voter disengagement and/or boost other people encouraging the same #and for the last time there have been like over 100 blogs deleted and not a one of them has had someone come forward as wrongfully terminate #like with the recent fiasco with a trans girl getting deleted because she said mean things about the CEO we have a face and a name #and a Twitter alt!!!#but LAGoneGirl is still gone? Bellygangstaboo is belly gangsta WHO #no one has come forward and I think that says something!
