Destiny argues that Russian influence operations are designed to identify and amplify divisive issues rather than fabricating talking points from scratch.

“the goal of Russia is not to fabricate talking points that aren't real it's to just find highly divisive issues and then amplify the [ __ ] out of them right that's the issue”

The alleged Russian influence operation was a deceptive and illegal scheme using pseudonyms and shell companies to manipulate political discourse.

“they adopted pseudonyms they created a fake persona they funneled they laundered this money through shell companies they were in these Discord producer chats like under pseudonyms pretending to be people that they weren't to manipulate this coverage like this is this is really it is really dirty”

The Department of Justice's prosecution of this Russian funding scheme is an act of selective enforcement, as similar influence operations by other foreign governments are ignored.

“no doubt that it's selective enforcement but also the specific thing they're accused of not again not Tim P not Dave Rubin not whoever but these Russian Nationals are accused of I mean it obviously is illegal and should be illegal”
