Like I said, it doesn't matter who ran the ads. I doubt people fell for it. Those ads are just too stupid.
On top of everything else...we all know, that when on the internet....


Don't trust anything, don't click nothing.

/e If there are people out there that don't know this...then there is something wrong with the education system.

Seriously, you can handwave everything away by claiming "it's just people trolling".


There's a very real chance some of my own handiwork is currently on display in congress as proof of russian meddling.
Consider that for a moment.

You can't just claim 4chan memes are proof of Russian interference because people are anonymous. This is approaching monsters-are-due-maple-street levels of paranoia.
These are 4chan memes being presented in congress as Russian efforts. We have proof they came from 4chan, and we know its impossible to determine who posted them to 4chan because that's the whole point of the site.
That means their supposed evidence is bubkiss, speculative and almost certainly wrong, because this is a derivative of a popular meme format of the time.

They unveiled some of the supposed Russian propaganda in congress today
It turned out they were literally using 4chan memes right off /pol/ that were very obviously crafted by normal 4chan users
They're actually trying to claim that's Russian in origin. Good lord.

Its like one of those early 2000's fox news fearmongering hit pieces on "anonymous" being a collection of shadowy hackers who will make your car explode or whatever
Except this is the actual serious political controversy by sitting members of congress. Jesus christ
I'm starting to really believe the possibility that the pissgate story really did originate as a greentext fanfic.

so 'russia' traded rubles for ad space on the facebook and posted #draftourdaughters and #votebyphone memes there

some of the russian posts presented to U.S. Congress:

Tweets that encourages voters to cast their ballot via text or tweet ...

Yes, they were originally designed by trolls on 4chan to fool smallminded people
Then they fooled some smallminded congressmen, or were deliberately misattributed in order to fool smallminded people
And here they are, fooling you who failed to identify where they came from despite it being explained a few posts up

dang, the purity and honesty of 4chan, especially /pol/, was tainted by russian propagandists

4chan without russia had no memes, trolling, raiding or shitposting. It was just an anonymous imageboard of kindness and honesty.

Yes, they were unable, or too lazy, to trace it, and 4chan did it in 20 minutes
The world is a lot simpler once stop ascribing to malice what can be chalked up to incompetence
That's actually what happened, and you clearly don't understand the power of weaponized autism.

Want an example?
