The alt-right social media propaganda effort from the US over the past decade has been a scattershot approach and had a large effect on a lot of the English speaking world.

Plus Rupert Murdoch, Boris Johnson, other right-wing grifters big and small using it to their advantage.

There aren't many good options except dealing with the people and the money running the operations, I think.
