So you’re just gonna double down on the “actually my shadowy enemies are both impossibly more technologically advanced than the imperial core, but also too stupid to use that advantage and instead waste massive amounts of effort specifically in preparation to gaslight me, the main character, due to their impossible prescience that one day I, the main character, would be using a fringe social media website in the middle of the night, prescience that is literally only used for that one purpose and that purpose alone because it so import to trick me, the main character,” theory then?
Congratulations, you’ve successfully gaslit yourself into defining away everyone who disagrees with you as a “bot” and now find yourself haunted on all sides by your shadowy enemies.
And for everyone else: what do you think the odds are some of this unfortunate poster’s brainworm infestation was seeded by literal CIA/State Department astroturfing bots? I give it about a 50/50 that that was an important infection vector, and a good 90% chance that they’ve nodded along while looking at CIA copypasta bot and uncritically believed whatever racist thing it was telling them to.
Remember that time it was leaked that Mi5 was running a bot farm out of a disused mill?
The British state had (has?) a literal propaganda mill.
For months leading up to the general election, you’d see the same comments in their tens, sometimes hundreds, popping up to defend Boris Johnson. And the same same copy-paste comments attacking Jeremy Corbyn.

Buddy the Russians have tens of millions of bots on every site they’re not just trying to get me.
The chatbots I’m seeing from you guys aren’t even all that realistic.
