I know a lot of people who were getting pretty crazy around 2016. Like run for the hills and become the Unabomber crazy. But that's not to say some weird stuff was not actually going on.
'Weird stuff' is always going on, though. The point is, ega, that ascribing 'anomalous' events like Trump and Brexit to some deus ex machina (in this instance Russia) is fundamentally lazy thinking. The whole point is that these events are not anomalous. They are perfectly comprehensible - even predictable - given the historical context in which they took place. Britain's Euroscepticism is not new and the US public voting in large numbers for a populist candidate who firmly rejected the declinist, globalist Weltanschauung is hardly something that should have taken anyone by surprise.

Blaming Russians is something that's done by people who don't want to look the real reasons why these things happened in the face.
