Ill try this. Let's say you are here as a middle of the road American and say something like 'Both sides'.
I log into my right wing jesus troll account and back you up saying how something like Democrats are trying to divide us on race to be able to steal an election using minorities somehow. And I link to something like
'The Nation' to sell some lie about how Russian military attacking our country is really not a big deal, and that the Democrats are way worse.
Then I log into my '
left-troll' account and attack you for being a right wing fucktard who blows ProudBoys and is a traitor racist who is in bed with 'the elite'. And I post a link to
'the Hill' that shows something misleading that you see is a lie, coming from the 'left', even though it is funded by Russian backers to spread the cherry picked narrative for the 'left' who will never vote for a racist like Trump. But who might be able to be convinced to not vote if they can be tricked that Biden's kid is whatever propaganda they designed.
Now, to you a totally real person, you would see this as 'both sides' are being dicks right?
But in reality it is one person who is being paid by the right wing propaganda machine. And in reality sock puppets are endless so it is not just a couple accounts and one actual person, it is unlimited accounts and however many that the people of Russia's money is paying for due to Putin using it any way he wants.
This is why 'both sides' is bullshit.
