it describes how IRA employees masquerade on EVERY side of a wedge issue, with the goal being to polarize.
I’m pretty sure I’ve encountered several of those on Lemmy. I won’t say who, but they frequently get called out and their post/comment history seems to confirm that.
Those types are classified as “false ally” if I’m not mistaken?
Ah. Well, I don’t know what to tell you there. lol I can only speak for myself.
Personally, I never accuse anyone of anything; I merely look at their history and judge for myself and respond accordingly (or not) on a case by case basis.
I did amend my first comment to caution against assuming someone is a troll just because they disagree with you. That also seems to be common from what I’ve seen: too many people (not just on Lemmy) seem to completely lack nuance and see the world in a black and white, binary way.

If I were getting paid for this I’d be a lot less grumpy
If you were getting paid for this you’d still be grumpy, but it would be performative instead of genuine.
I’m glad my sincerity comes across in this medium. I’m really quite grumpy.
I know, right?! 😆
That’s why I’m encouraging everyone to chip in and crowdsource it a bit.
No, I mean being a false ally. I get accused of it all the time and I’m just mad I’m doing it for free.

I think I’ll just turn around and accuse them of being IRA assets and cite the Mueller Report as evidence
