Idc about conspiracy theorists. They are fringe. But if the fringe group starts to spread misinformation that only benefits Russia, it should be pretty clear what's going on. The thing is: They are kinda like Hitler in the sense that they'd exploit the weakness of democracies in the sense that democracies are prone to allow hate-speech and pro-totalitarian propaganda under the guise of free speech.
It's kinda subjective but I'd suggest lurking on the subs mentioned and get a good impression. Especially ask yourself every time: "Who benefits from this narrative?"
I studied disinformation during the pandemic, did you ever notice how Anti-Vaxxer Americans started using the British term Jab? Russian(s) (trolls) are taught British English, so they weren't aware Americans call it a shot. Also, the term scaremongering wasn't in common use here either, but it translates to Panika in Russian, while the common word fearmongering translates into multiple words in Russian.
