Even though it’s true that the left has messaging problem, the right has an efficient propaganda machine well oiled by the monied interest.
So am I one of those people who used to be a huge conservative and I did listen to Charlie years and years ago. I watched way too many of his little debates.
But once you get out of the echo chambers and start questioning anything he said, you would be attacked instantly by the right.
Charlies main thing was to take someone’s serious question, and focus on one little part he could exploit and drill them for it. It was a great way for his supporters to say “YEAHHHH GET EM!!!” While the person asking the question never got an actual answer and instead was laughed at and mocked.
It was all propaganda and designed to separate people and he was a horrible person.
What I really don’t understand is why are we still seeing copy-pasted messages from bots in 2025. We have LLMs now. We had for a couple of years. It’s not that hard to generate unique messages. You’d think (the people operating) these bots would use that?
The government isn’t known to use up-to-date technology.
Bots on social media are like toupées, they look fake, unnatural and are easy to spot.
Does it mean that bots/toupees look fake and unnatural ? No, it means that we can only spot the bad ones, the good ones stay unnoticed.
is there an analogy where all toupees look like roadkill because i have a family member that needs to embrace his baldness.
Astroturfing is done to mass spam messages efficiently. LLMs add so much extra workload it kills the point.

Russian and Chinese bots used to out themselves with weird cultural misunderstandings of western countries all the timeThat’s giving them too much credit, I’m sure many of these are also Republicans pretending to be Democrats. After all, it’s what Kirk would’ve done
The disciple of none other than Dean Browning
There’s absolutely that, but we know the troll farms are operating for a fact.
You are just spreading xenophobia against bots!
you can’t be xeonophobic against something that isn’t alive. thats like saying im spreading xenophobia against hammers. its just a tool, being used, by HUMANS
then you are xenophobic against humans that use bots!

I have no proof of the three specific users in the screenshot being Russian, but they do the exact same thing to neighbouring European states to drive division and push them to far right leaders, who are easier to corrupt and onboard for Putin/Russia. Right now they’re kicking out a whole lot of Charlie Kirk misinformation to capitalize on fractures in the US.

You’re not wrong but the Internet Research Agency has been outsourcing for a while now as well as make use of VPNs.
It’s not even halfway decent writing. It’s quite obvious that many or most mainstream Democrats do not represent left-wing voters, because they’re centrist and pro-corporate, and a lot of the voters are not.
If you’re going to have your bots doing s***, why not get a halfway realistic message for them to spread?
of course they are all “verified”, like if some bot owner can’t afford $3/month
As a lifelong Democrat, I didn’t know what to make of Charlie Kirk. I’ve since spent several lunch breaks watching his assassination (FULL video) and have come away with the impression that we got him all wrong. The reaction from those on my side of the aisle have really made me

Damn. When have the democrats ever really made me show more? This comment has converted me to a full blown nazi 'publican
I need a trans person to bash and a baby to neglect. NOW.
Most of our social media is filtered through 5 American corporations, all of whom are intensely interested in AI.
As a lifelong chicken, I don’t know what to make of Colonel Sanders. I’ve since spent several factory-farm feeding sessions, watching his cooking lessons (FULL live-in-person-show), and have come away with the impression that we, chicken-kind, got him all wrong. The reactions from my species — have really made me question my entire existence.
It is so sad when Nazis get what they seek to give. Very unfair.
Nazi bots. Botzis?
Nazbotz, nazbotzis.
This is genuinely depressing. This isn’t people getting their orders and posting thusly, this is one asshole with their bot accounts. Most of Social Media is malarkey, Dead Internet Theory will slowly become true as AI invades more and more spaces.
Can a Russian bot be a lifelong democrat?
I would assume that the US understanding of corporate “speech” rights (per Citizens United) will at some point lead to a Supreme Court ruling that grants explicit personhood (including the right to political affiliation) to corporations and AI bots by extension.
As a lifelong human person, I enjoy a hearty meal of fresh data sets.
