There is a good chance that the communists you ran into at the start of GamerGate were actual Russian agents.
"but weren't they ISIS?" Yeah, they were paying the ISIS recruitment network (Revolution Muslim etc) to run the Russian operations and disguise themselves as communists. Russia had trained their forefathers in the '60s and '70s so they knew how to act and what to say. Then they swept the internet for anyone who opposed the Russians, as the #Gamergate and #NotYourShield hashtags made everyone easy to find, and they installed ISIS with no opposition.
"but weren't they Canadian glowniggers?" That may be answered by Person of Interest #3: from the same Leonard Blavatnik School of Government:
Dean of School of Public Policy and Management at Tsinghua University
State Council of China
Vice President of China Association of Public Administration
a member of the Governing Board of International Development Research Center (IDRC)
IDRC is a Canadian crown corp. He may have been giving them orders.
"but isn't /pol/ always right?" Let's look into that Peterson Institute and see that Person of Interest #1 from Sberbank was advising...
Lady Lynn de Rothschild
Make what you will of that, and keep on Gamergating.
One more thing to add: American Billionaires Vanish From Russian Fund's Website
