I’ve become a bit disillusioned by grassroots organising given how easy it seems to be to fake. This place claims to be self-funded, but I wonder. It’s exactly the sort of thing a foreign adversary would fund just to cause trouble in the U.S.<p>I feel like the internet has caused a sort of problem of how easily the public can be pushed to vote against their own interests. It’s a cheap way for foreign countries to “attack” a democracy without ever risking serious retaliation, and I haven’t seen an answer to it. Or even corporations to protect their interests at the cost of having people vote against their own interests.<p>Off the top of my head I can think of two answers: walled garden(I think of this as the Chinese approach) and high education levels(I think of this as the Swiss approach, but I have no idea how effective it is).<p>Thoughts on how to solve this problem?
