Are you implying FUD is a conspiracy theory? Or that FUD exists on the fediverse is a conspiracy theory? Or that the recent āvote uncommitted movement is FUDā is the conspiracy theory?
Regardless, Iām not dismissing the vote uncommitted opinion, and I certainly donāt dislike it. Even if the āvote uncommittedā movement is Russian FUD Iām all in on it, and Iām even committed to taking it a step further because Iām so upset about the Joe Bidenās extreme facists policies.
Sorry for not making it more clear, that is an example of how FUD works and not something I know for certain is FUD.
It has a lot of the hallmarks of a Russian FUD campaign. Itās catchy, itās easy to explain and understand, it has a very strong appeal to emotion, itās easy for someone to participate in and feel good about themselves, it allows participants to feel connected to a cause without actually having to really do anything, it undermines Bidenās presidency to the benefit of Russia and Trump.
Given the timing, the nature of the campaign, how it seems to be spreading, and who benefits from it, I think that thereās a really good chance that Russians or some other group are amplifying and spreading the campaign even if they didnāt originate it.
I am open to the possibility that itās a purely organic campaign, however weāre unlikely to ever know with certainty if the vote uncommited campaign is FUD or organic. Unfortunately thatās just the nature of FUD which makes it so effective.
Itās utterly convenient that your conspiracy theory allows you to dismiss those whose opinions you donāt like.

Iām saying that every time you see someone who doesnāt support genocide, you immediately jump to āthey must be Russian!ā
