Suspected Campaign from Russia on Reddit (reddit.com)

For the record, there it is well documented that corporate wings of the Democratic party control dozens of accounts under a single owner. There are likely many more operators that we haven't uncovered yet, with more puppet accounts tied to each.

Russians are allowed on reddit, as far as I know. Auto-blogging is common-place. Blogs that hvae opinions and even organized up-voting is common. There are differences in ideology from us, maknig things seem like a "campaign".

This is just xenophobic targeting of one nation to create consent for some kind of action against "Russian" accounts/citizens and those mis-targeted as Russian (see Twitters method of Russian detection).

I post this to try reduce the fear of Russia and the anti-Russian scapegoatism in general.
