Those are to different groups, the investors into nuclear spending some money (but neglectable amounts compared to their primary investments) on desinformation campaign so idiots stay on the train, and the idiot cult created as part of those campaigns. That's what makes such investment so efficient. Once you reached a criritcal mass the bunch of morons is self-replicating in their own echo chambers, so it doesn't need maintenance anymore. (Also the reason nuclear is so well received in far-right circles... there isn't actually a direct connection, but a massive overlap in how these groups are created.)
Fair distinction, and a good point about broader disinformation spreading.
