Doesn't negate the fact that some of it is engineered and funded by foreign actors to foment more division.
We should acknowledge both things
I am not disputing that foreign countries interfere with other countries, be it social media, elections and such... You and many already know how much we, assuming American, the United States have done this as well.
When looking at what the politicians and legacy media's push for Russiagate was framed as, I am sceptical and see it as propaganda.
Example: Democrats also said Bernie Sanders was a "Russian Asset".
It is used as a Red Scare tactic, which is used often by legacy media and politicians when opposition to the status quo is seen, be it on the left or right.
