A great article giving a good global roundup of the rise of right wing extremism and the use of information warfare as a key part of it:

Some of this I was aware of, but the extent to which it is happening globally is really quite frightenining.

Buzzfeed news? Is this the same joke news organisation that came out with the nonsensical Trump pissgate story. It really beggars belief that anyone can take that site seriously anymore.

I can’t say they are top of my list of places I’d generally go to get reliable info. But as I presume you have read the article, which bit do you take exception to exactly?

Why would a campaign in the US use an old photo of a village in Essex - basically calling it a shithole (which, it did) and now it's been redeveloped and is nothing like that now? Surely they have their own shitholes? So yes it was like that once but not now - it's like us comparing the wild west with London?
