Ok, you've apparently latched onto my explanation of why I thought that guy wasn't a bot. Could you maybe respond to the comment you're replying to instead?

Then again why am I surprised you're not interested defending your idea. Your whole thesis is "if they don't already agree they should be ignored." I'm obviously one of the russian bots to ignore.

'Everything I don't like is fake news' is dumb when they do it and enlightened when I do it.

The example you linked is satirical semi-surrealist shitposting, there's nothing really there to engage with. It's just making fun of democrats for willfully ignoring her complicity and rhetoric regarding the genocide. Or maybe you're confused, I meant their comment replies were trolling the people brigading that community not the post as a whole.

But more generally you're basically advocating reducing politics into team "vote blue no matter who" and team "russians/bots/traitors/other enemies". Oh this person is mocking Kamala, therefore they basically aren't human.

Or alternatively "this either confirms my biases or is bad-faith and should be ignored"

"Everything I disagree with is either a russian bot or functionally a russian bot" as an alternative to critically thinking about new information/other opinions is actually insidious and far more dangerous to democracy than misinformation. This is just the other side of the coin to trumpers calling everything they don't like fake news.

Oh wow somebody trolling the libs in his replies, truly inconvertible proof of russian bots on lemmy. I've known multiple people who share this exact sense of humor and would post like this.

How can you read "Thank you for engaging with my fascist propaganda that’s designed to cause a catastrophe in Gaza!" and not clock that he's trolling.

*ok I see I missed your point. It's not that they're a russian bot, it's that criticism from the left = maga = russian bots because any opposition to Harris is functionally the same. Criticism of complicity in a genocide is the same as saying don't vote for her she's secretly trans or whatever the actual maga crowd is saying about her. Truly its impossible for two things to be bad at once.
