People talking on the internet about certain political and human rights topics, are suspected to be foreign bad actors. They want people to argue with each other endlessly, instead of talking about how to fix systemic issues.

Hypothetical example: a “study” is posted to Reddit about how LGBTQ are more likely to suffer from mental health issues/commit suicide in the USA. Comments on that study will instead argue about whether LGBTQ people should even be allowed to exist, which instigates arguments in the comments. It can be reasonable to assume the initial “first comment” was made by bad actors not from the USA in order to have people argue, instead of addressing what could be done to improve the mental health of LGBTQ people.
