But discrediting someone's opinion by just posting this meme is NOT toxic ?
So it's toxic to assume someone might be a Russian bot but it is not toxic to disregard the opinion of everybody that said that ?
You know there are bots online. Maybe not much here but there was definitely many on Reddit. So bots are real but someone that points out a bot must be wrong.
The image in OP is what is toxic. Fostering a kind of echo chamber where the people who disagree with the prevailing narrative and bring reasoned arguments that contradict it get written off as "foreign agents" is extremely toxic, also nationalistic, and often borderline racist. It's also childish. Pointing out how childish it is to tell someone "you're just a RuSsIaN bOt!" because you don't like what they have to say is definitely not toxic, quite the opposite.

Relying on calling your opponent a bot for opposing genocide is failed logic.

Wheres civility when you need them? Civility where are you?
It's pretty toxic to call people that disagree with you robots in the first place. That's the original toxic discourse.

This is weird.
Yes, it's not toxic to point out that calling everyone you disagree with a bot is toxic.

Are you referring to the meme itself, or the comment you're replying to?
