    And there was an “organised plan” for Ukraine in 2022 insofar as people decided to vote for them regardless of their performance, which the few people who supported Russia in the conflict were probably pretty mad at, but couldn’t do anything to stop, just as people who support Palestine can’t do anything to stop Israel supporters here.

    The reason Israel didn’t win is they have fewer supporters, but how Palestine’s supporters and frankly neutrals also are feeling is how Russia’s supporters and the smaller number of neutrals there felt… It’s impossible to keep politics out of this and it’s just a shame really

          But you somehow think people voting normally is organisation? But government led organisation isn’t???

            I’m saying that the government led organisation will have had a negligible impact compared to regular people, therefore the levels of organisation (ie people publicly saying “I’m going to vote for x/y to show my support” and other people seeing that and thinking it’s a good idea) aren’t that big of a deal.

            Also I think it’d be incredibly shocking if the EBU or at least individual broadcasters don’t already have requirements for tackling vote manipulation from suspicious/newly registered phones and especially voip services so a state organised campaign would have even less of an impact

            I also see your source on the organisation is twitter (and I can’t even find the tweets there), so I’m inclined to doubt it’s true given nobody’s even reported on it, never mind people coming out and saying it’s happened despite the number of people in multiple countries who would be required to be sworn to secrecy to get something like that to work
