Your statement regarding vilification doesn't make any sense. If they were villains they wouldn't need to be vilified. Instead they're viewed as non-villians, and forces act to vilify them so as to create demand for their alternative narrative.
It allows Sinclair, Breitbart and Cambridge Analytica to feed whatever nonsense they want, while allowing their believers to act like they're not being lead on a rope to their faulty conclusions.
this reminds me of the time i tried to convince chaol that the texas shooter was left wing goon like he is........that he was an annoying athiest, had bernie sanders groups he subscribed to on facebook, reposted and retweeted antifa garbage..........but wasn't left wing by chaol purist political standards (much like absents) because he wasn't actually a member of antifa. he didn't carry an active membership card. didn't pay his yearly dues and subscription services.
i have been waiting for a right wing serial killer to use the well......."he wasn't an actual nazi because he didn't fight and live under Hitler"
but that joke might take me years.......especially at the rate that bernie bots are melting down and taking all the prime time killer spots anyways
we were never going to see eye to eye on this or anything else anways
and maybe that is just ok? that is the way our world was meant to be
