      I often believe that many of these comments are unironically Russian bots lol. I’ve seen similar things the comments of local news videos. Like some guy gets arrested for something, then a random comment from a supposed liberal bringing up trump and January 6. These are either intelligence ops to create accounts with history and paper trails, or a DNC op to create accounts with history to push propaganda later

        Honestly, if I was trying to manipulate online discourse to deliberately cause as much political turmoil as possible, not only would I do agitprop for the far left and far right to anger the other side, I would also make sure to post a large amount of centrist propaganda that is callously dismissive of legitimate issues and suggest that foreign manipulation is part of it. That would both piss off at least one side (depending on the issue) and cast doubt on the idea that foreign manipulation is actually even happening in the first place.

    This is why some actual left-wing subreddits have a bot that autobans accounts with activity in r/PoliticalHumor

    There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for liberals at this micro-instant.
