By 'generational', you mean "spanning multiple generations"?


I mean the sentiment lacks nuance and it gives context to why someone would use pejorative adjectives about Russian-anything even when referring to search engine results

They're only against Communism. Russians with money are just fine, apparently. The logical conclusion of "money is speech" is that foreign intelligence agencies can buy as much speech as they like.


Protip: its not just Russians playing around with sentiment in other countries for their own gains, and it is extremely easy to deflect all attention towards Russia. It can be long time allies that you harbor the least feelings about.


The US has been doing it for well over 50 years.
