the funny thing is about 0.10% of this is russia with pro-trump propaganda and the overwhelming 99.99999999% majority is Chinese pro-democrat propaganda. You don't think they just love our self-crippling environmental regulations?
idk how people can care so much about one and not the other. especially when china's so non-transparent about it. how many groups of paid full time shitposters represent pro-trump superpacs? probably zero. how many paid fulltime shitposters represent democratic superpacs funded directly by the chinese (shareblue etc)? thousands. how many of these people are major reddit mods, reddit admins, 4chan mods, 8chan mods? lots of chinese paid democrat shills. not really any russian funded alt-right ones.
what legions of bot accounts are commenting, upvoting, and increasing views for trump posts on reddit, youtube, facebook, twitter? it's plain as day obviously happening with pro democrat posts but i've never really seen it happen with a right wing story. etc.

How exactly are environmental regulations self-crippling? Ignoring global warming completely, do you want to live in a toxic wasteland where we can't tell industries they aren't allowed to spew mercury and carcinogenic organic compounds into the atmosphere around our cities, that they can't saturate our watersheds with dioxin, PCBS, lead, and xenoestrogens? Do you have any idea how many people die or live miserable lives in China due to heavy industrial pollution? Or how many people died and continue to die in the US die to lung conditions from the use of coal for energy?
Coal wasn't killed by environmental regulations, it was killed by automation and natural gas. And as far as our reliance on petroleum, it's hardly self-limiting to eliminate or at least diminish our dependence on Arabs and other primitives and hostile states for the fuel that powers our economy -- which is going to be functionally depleted within a few hundred years anyway.... not that you give a fuck about anyone other than yourself, but that's the reality. And then you put global warming on top of that.
At this point the only self-crippling environmental regulations are those which continue the wanton destruction and poisoning of our habitat, ie, using the government to bail out the failed coal industry as a political favor because West Virginians and rural Pennsylvanians are too stupid to find other work.
And if you were wondering who was behind all the paid shilling during this last election, just look at which powers stood to benefit most from Trump beating Clinton -- Israel and Russia.
