The "Russian Bot Farm" destruction story is horseshit

by Skip Pulley

"The online social-media driven story never made any sense. Whiney liberals were so happy and dumb conservatives were so confused, but the viral fairy-tale has been debunked as a rumor.

Ukraine is in disarray, their leader is a coke-addicted drag queen and their Nazi troops can no longer receive stolen arms laundered money from Israel, whose fall is imminent" - editor in chief

The "Russian bot farm" destruction story is clearly horseshit. It's being spread by pathetic, toothless no-kings democrats who are just as naïve and kneejerk as dumb maga-cultists.

After a drone strike, Yandex's network traffic and general automated traffic dropped, so a viral narrative spread on social media claiming that Ukrainian strikes had wiped out Russian political troll/bot farms responsible for pushing divisive content online.

Except...disinformation and troll networks do NOT rely on centralized, high-profile commercial search-engine or banking data centers (like Yandex or Sberbank, i.e. prime military targets), they use distributed, rented, or obscure botnets scattered globally or across smaller-scale server setups.

Sideline petty-bourgeois Russophobes are eager to believe malicious online noise has been physically silenced so they misattribute general service blackouts (which affected everyday Russian apps, services, and banking tools) to the destruction of "political accounts".

Yandex is a search engine and banking data center

Ukraine isn't "winning" anything. They are kidnapping women and children to send into combat against the Russian army, who are simply absorbing them as refugees.
