View submission: RIP conspiracy
Is that the switch that flipped
I don't think so, no. But, it was definitely related.
Hmmmm what could it all mean
Well... Definitely not what I think you're getting at. If russian trolls/bots were pushing that narrative, they would have ramped their effort up. The last thing they'd do is vanish completely - and just look at some of the replies to threads in this sub, they definitely haven't.
So, it's not that. It's something else. IMO at least... But, maybe I'm wrong with that you were insinuating.

In 2016 this sub was filled with pizzagate, pro Trump and anti Hillary conspiracies
Then came the anti Mueller conspiracies
Then came the covid, hunter Biden, anti impeachment conspiracies
Then came the anti BLM, anti Floyd protests conspiracies
Then came the rigged election, antifa attacked the capital conspiracies
Then came the anti vaccine conspiracies
Now we're in the pro Russia anti Ukraine conspiracies
Notice a pattern here? Every right wing parrot from Television to radio to Twitter account has been in sync with the same trajectory of "conspiracies" from 2016-2022. Many of the big names who echoed the same conspiracies are currently getting outted as having connections to Russian funds. Paul rand, mitch McConnell, the trumps, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz.
This sub was infiltrated hard and just now while Russia is currently busy, people are noticing the change already
