Is there any line of leftists that are either developing ways to use the same online tactics as the neofascists (eg. flooding every comment section with the same opinion to dominate the narrative, with real comments or not) or ways to render these tactics obsolete?
This kind of stuff is extremely effective, as the last decade has shown. Then, why is it that I only hear of the fascists developing and using it? Why is the left ignoring this efficient stuff?
It's inefficient to do this manually. Bot power is what does it. Moreso in the new era of Large Language Models.
There was this paper – https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-19097-1_3 – about how the moment war were declared someone turns on the propoganda taps and millions of bots come out doing exactly what you're saying.
You also mention "flooding every comment section", but who owns the comment section? You're playing in their house, feeding them. Often an American Big Tech company tied to the Pentagon.
I disagree that manual posting is effective against bot armies and Big Tech platforms. You're playing the game they want you to play.
