      ok so i think the real reddit users in there were the ones being racist 'id rather die than listen to foreign music hyuk hyuk' and the ones rolling their eyes at the credulous belief of the story

      everything else was astroturf. i need to believe this for my health

        You’re probably not far off with how heavily that site is astroturfed. Their attitude on domestic politics, Russia, and Israel differ too much from the average person
