    Yeah, it’s amazing how quickly the “don’t trust anyone on the internet” mindset changed. The same boomers who were cautioning us against playing online games with friends are now the same ones sharing blatantly AI generated slop from strangers on Facebook as if it were gospel.

      Back then it was just old people trying to groom 16 year olds. Now it’s a nation’s intelligence apparatus turning our citizens against each other and convincing them to destroy our country.

      I wholeheartedly believe they’re here, too. Their primary function here is to discourage the left from voting, primarily by focusing on the (very real) failures of the Democrats while the other party is extremely literally the Nazi party.

        Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

        Do you still think you’re going to be allowed to vote for the next president?

          Everyone who disagrees with you is a bot, probably from Russia. You are very smart.

          Where did they say that? They just said bots in general. It’s well known that Russia has been running a propaganda campaign across social media platforms since at least the 2016 elections (just like the US is doing on Russian and Chinese social media, I’m sure. They do it on Americans as well. We’re probably the most propangandized country on the planet), but there’s plenty of incentive for corpo bots to be running their own campaigns as well.

          Or are you projecting for some reason? What do you get from defending Putin?

          I mean that’s unironically the problem. When there absolutely are bots out here, how do you tell?

            Sure, but you seem to be under the impression the only bots are the people that disagree with you.

            There’s nothing stopping bots from grooming you by agreeing with everything you say.
