Idk the whole anti-vaxx hate never seemed too organic to me. Not as inorganic as the failed BidenBro campaign from 2017 but still.

It's the same formula that's been used elsewhere. Use something like aliens and flat earth to conflate with people who are suspicious of the FBI and CIA. Use the westboro baptist church and creationists to conflate with all christians. The same was used against GamerGate by painting everybody as "bigoted trolls who just harass women" ignoring anybody with legitimate concerns.
Meanwhile they try to "fact check" every single instance which goes against their narratives saying "Oh no that was caused by something totally different!" and brush it under the rug.
Oh please, don't flatter the people against us. Women play the misogyny card every five milliseconds with anything even tangentially related to them. That wasn't a grand plan, it was their usual bullshit.
I never said there was any grand plan linking everything, just that it's a common tactic that has been used heavily since at least the 1960's. It's only in recent years with the internet that actual truth has been able to leak through the cracks and reach many people.
Also there can definitely be groups that want to use this to push something specific. The government does not want people to heavily doubt them. Atheists do not want people to believe in religion. And with GamerGate (and other journalism) it's pretty clear that private mailing lists dictate what is acceptable to publish and what narratives should be supported.
i'd much rather assume the government has a hand in all evil than assuming it's happenstance. fuck dude, all these declassified documents, mk ultra type covert shit, the admission from that former KGB guy that russia is still working america, the literal time article admitting election rigging...
and we think it just stopped?
