Most of them at the beginning of any operation are Russian/Iranian bots (both real people and LLMs) whose entire job it is to rile people up and get the MAGA-types to latch on and grow the sentiment organically. But again, who cares what they say? Just ignore or silence them as quickly and cleanly as possible.

You mean the propaganda machine owned by the richest person on earth, the guy who proudly seig heils in public and uses dog whistles in every sentence he says?

who cares what online racist dweebs think or say about anything?

Who reads any article these days? Only total losers and bozos read anything more than the headline.

Holy shit. Can you say “regime change”? I hope Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has a good escape plan.

Not necessarily only Putin, it’s just that both are authoritarians, and this is what they do. It’s a playbook that’s been used throughout the 20th century.

Fuck yeah, this is what Jesus would do
