Bots have been used for at least a decade. Before bots it was marketing PR teams who hired college kids to run multiple accounts. It’s always been bots. You and all other leftist were tricked
And these bots are also walking around in real life? Because the shitty people who drove me off are actual people who I actually know in the actual world.
Yes. Think how it works. Humans, all of us have a very obvious fault in our system if you think about it for a minute. We are social animals. That’s our super power and our downfall. I can 100% manipulate and convince you something is real through repetition. Unless you’re an outlier like maybe you are on the spectrum and have difficulty with social norms. But the average person will change when the see a message repeated over and over a long period of time.
This is a pipeline from rich benefits -> think tanks -> political consultants -> marketing groups -> bot farms -> Internet users -> semi_hemi_demigid co-workers

Except it wasn’t the politics that ran me off. It was them being inane and susceptible to manipulation for non-political things.
And if that’s our downfall then good riddance. We’re a pathetically stupid species and deserve extinction.
