    Yeah no shit. Every single one of these nationalist pro-us movements are started by state sponsored actors from enemy nations, which is why social media should have always been regulated like broadcast media, but greedy geriatric fucks decided money was more important than voters and national stability.

      russia is one of the sole backers of nationalist governments and right wing groups in EU and around the world, hence why you see them all suddeny rise at once recently, and also they start spouting the same propaganda verbatim.

      Cambridge Analitica was mainly funded by wealthy Americans.

      Not state sponsored, but the elites of that nation are certainly an enemy of Britain, Brits and even the rest of Europe and Europeans.

      PS: As a side note, who could forget Steve Bannon coming to Europe with money from amongst others the Koch brothers, stating very openly it was to “fund the Far-Right in Europe”. Notice how the Far-Right did in fact grow in the following years.
