      The dedication to shilling Russia is unwavering. But what would make an adult person do this outside of being paid?

      I keep wondering the same thing. Well, first off, there are actually Russian getting paid for that. We shouldn’t pretend professionally disinformation accounts don’t exist. Secondly, perhaps they’re not adults?

      I just wonder what kind of a moron you have to be to be able to understand the conversation and everything online, but still be pro-Russian.

      Like… why?

      MICE - Money, Ideology, Coercion, Ego. Money doesn’t necessarily mean being a paid shill, BTW - Alex Jones from InfoWars makes his money selling supplements, for instance.

      I don’t think they’re being coerced or making money from their audience, so Ideology or Ego.
