This is definitely a better memory than remembering James Woods was in this scene.

So you’re arguing that misinformation is fair if a campaign has done anything that can be remotely described as damaging (and you refuse to say what they did that was so damaging).

How could Russia harm them by leaking details of things that are not illegal and therefore (purportedly) entirely acceptable?

By including disinformation? It’s a pretty basic concepts, by lying.

From the Guccifer 2.0 Wikipedia page:

Some of the documents “Guccifer 2.0” released to the media appear to be forgeries cobbled together from public information and previous hacks, which had been mixed with disinformation.[9][10][11]

I’m not sure why so many people are reacting like this to my comments. The Republican Senate Committee was able to accept there was a Russian disinfo campaign, not sure why Lemmy thinks that’s all fine and dandy.

What DNC corruption exactly are you referring to?

The corruption of the electronic was done by Russia and the RNC accepting and not reporting foreign election interference. As per:

Could you show what specifically was fake?

I’m not an intelligence agent, so no, I can’t tell you what was and wasn’t faked. You would have to look into the various reports and intelligence findings yourself for that info.

I never said anything about the technical details. I said the majority of the content was made up from information already released.

But yeah sure buddy, I’m sure the Senate Intelligence Committee got it wrong /s

Maybe do basic research before you go after someone for something they didn’t discuss. That way you won’t be left looking like an idiot.

There was Russian interference whether you want to believe it or not. I’ll let you go back to your qanon discussion group now.

I hope someone sues Microsoft.

Hopefully they’ll end up with an incredible amount of user telemetry telling them that they’ve created the least adopted version of Windows in the history of the company.

That’s what Windows 11 deserves, they need a punch in the face from users.

Haven’t read the article because I’m not interested in an app I don’t use, but does it mean browser fingerprint? Because that’s slang for the fonts/cookies/user-data of your browser, and lots of apps have access to that.

Because Russia was funding one side, ask George Bush senior.

It’s a proxy war because the two major powers are fighting in an area neither of them own.

Iraq was a proxy war, even though US troops were there.

The charges against Assange were made in 2012.

“had the DNC simply been operating in a legitimate…”

Sorry, are you under the impression that the DNC has to choose a particular candidate? They don’t. That stuff is internal party politics. There’s no US law governing who they choose. That’s how party politics works.

This is some third world shit going down. Hey America: long term violent protests combined with a general strike.

Plan a a date, print up flyers. Do it.

Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago. Look up who submitted it to Wikileaks: Guccifer 2.0… who turned out to be a Russian agent (aka Fancy Bear).

Go look at Guccifer 2.0’s Wikipedia page, or the US intelligence senate hearing that confirmed Russian interference in the 2016 election. All this info is put there.

Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon. Went as far as to continue to attribute the “leak” to staffer Seth Rich, even after Rich’s death in a botched burgulary.

Ghislaine’s father had several leaders and ex-leaders of Mossad at his funeral, and the Prime Minister of Israel gave the eulogy.

Definately stuff going on.

Not really, proxy wars have been fought with multiple nations before.

… practically everyone was in Syria… Russia, Iran, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Armenia, Qatar, The USA, ISIS, Al-queda, and Syrian forces.

This is why you don’t rig a fair system… Because your ‘rig’ may one day be used against you.
