Oh, well look up Caleb Maupin. He was a big tankie figure online and even offline, and he had literally worked for RT News in the US and presumably had been in contact with / paid by Russia.
It’s not really “right wing” astroturfing, as you seem to mean it. there are well publicized social media influence operations run by rogue states, with the apparent goal of steering and polarizing political discourse the US and Europe. and you are falling for it.
I took your comment to mean you believe it is actual right-wing (e.g. Republicans, etc) astroturfing, as opposed to state-sponsored trolls. But perhaps you think of those governments as right wing and that’s what you meant.
Sometimes I wonder how much of it is right wing astroturf to make all progressives look crazy/stupid.
Don’t get me wrong, I know Tankies are very real. But just how many of these people actually believe this shit?
