That's how social media gives impression that there is more hard right people.
Unfortunately it also amplifies the existing ones, because makes them think they are the majority.
how social media
Yes but also
how Russia funds social media bots
this was also all over reddit posts, to with the exact same messaging,"a democrat that supports charlie kirk.
Yeah and Facebook, and Instagram, and truth social, and TikTok and etc etc
social media
Hell, PBS news last night kicked off with coverage of Kirk's memorial service, which they described as having a "massive" turnout. Interesting that they never used the word "massive" to describe the recent anti-MAGA protests.
Pbs has gotten bad lately. One of their correspondents just endorsed the lie about command and control from gazan hospitals, he saw it first hand. Then they allow some Unapologetic is real hack to come on and lie about what they are doing with no pushback. Then stuff like this. I do not know if I can even watch them anymore if they are going to just give up and run with the party line.
I sometimes describe the PBS News Hour as "Fox News aimed at old white liberals". I've been trying to wean my parents (old white liberals) off of it, but they go all the way back to the days of The MacNeil/Lehrer report and they just can't accept that it's become something entirely different decades later. The sad thing is that watching it every night leaves them suicidally depressed but they can't stop themselves.
Compared to the rest they were doing a decent job in many respects but it seems to me like they just gave up and surrendered any sort of journalistic Integrity just this last week. I understand they might have to bring out a pro-israel person, but not one pushing through such blatant fall cities with the interviewer nodding along and agreeing with everything they say. I got to find the name of that interviewer so I can let other people know how much of a piece of shit he is.
Tbf the memorial filled the stadium and people had to go into a prepped overflow space. Objectively speaking, that's a good amount of folks.
NPR used terms like "flooding the streets" and "5 million people" to describe the anti maga protests, which should scratch the itch?
What articles are you referring to that don't cover the protests to your satisfaction?
If you're going to go after public broadcasting, which just lost all of its federal funding, I hope you have receipts.
never gets old ... uhm, young
The spam detection works, though!
(As intended - on the ones criticising these posts.)
Lol
As a lifelong Democrat who also enjoys breathing… oxygen and eating high fructose corn syrup just like all of you, I didn't know what to make of Adolf Hitler. I've spent several lunch breaks watching his speeches (FULL videos) 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 rethink whether we’re on the right side of history.
Well, I’m crossing the aisle—I just registered as a National Socialist.
Anyone else? All of us normal and 100% human (what else would I be ha ha ha) Democrats are now going to vote for the Nazis, and so should the rest of you meatba… I mean fellow humans
Edit: the em-dash in the original post that I copy-pasted makes me suspect this was written with an LLM
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?
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.
The government isn't known to use up-to-date technology.
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.
All verified accounts too. 🙄
Reminder to everyone: you can monetize being a blue-check twitter user if you get enough followers and engagement.
It's not much, but in places like India and other countries, it's more than enough to live on, and as a result there are HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of shill accounts based in India and other countries, who just circulate each other, follow each other, retweet each other and recycle the same Grok talking points and hollow phrases all day, every day.
Our entire political landscape is being propped up on the backs of people who do not know or care about what happens in the USA and are just shaving off as much as they can by riding along like the remoras that follow sharks.
Most of our social media is filtered through 5 American corporations, all of whom are intensely interested in AI.
Sad thing is that in this day and age, they'd hardly need to lift a finger to have this rephrased 100 times. But they know they don't have to. People eat up the garbage from their feed, people (often the same) know that a lot of it is Russian bots.
p. s: Still surprised how poorly ChatGPT-5 Thinking handled this. A lot of obvious bot content, such as "weeks of uncut videos and policy dives" by a Democrat, "attended a live event" etc.
At this point, I think it's a feature. Just like how when Russia does propaganda, they lie so big it's easily disproven, so once someone bites down on it they're pulled into a fake world
The old style of US propaganda was to flood the zone - bury what you want to hide out in the open and add so much more information people can't be bothered to learn about it.
The new style (even before chat gpt) seems to be an ocean of bots and bullshit. Who cares if you can spot a bot if you already don't trust anyone online? It's destroying organic communication so we're forced to go to a central source, which are controlled
IP: Russia.
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.

As a lifelong idiot, I watched Charlie Kirk say that he's nervous when he sees a black pilot. That's what confirmed what everyone else was saying. He is a horrible gifter that uses racist language to make money. I don't give a crap how his racist family and friends feel. Fuck toilet paper USA.
I'm not going to pretend to be sad when a Nazi receives what he wanted to give.
He is a horrible grifter
I believe that since September 10th he has been the only good kind of grifter.
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.
That'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
Im a lifelong democrat who lives in the beautiful warm water port city in California
~~Russian and Chinese bots used to out themselves with weird cultural misunderstandings of western countries all the time~~
It is so sad when Nazis get what they seek to give. Very unfair.
of course they are all "verified", like if some bot owner can't afford $3/month
As a lifelong human person, I enjoy a hearty meal of fresh data sets.
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?
"This is extremely dangerous to our democracy."
As a lifelong Democrat, I didn't know what to make of Charlie Kirk. I've since spent several lunch breaks watching his debates (FULL videos) 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 Show more
Show more baby, show more!
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.
I have to vote that this is not a meme. Boo
I gotchu.
6/10. Should have made it one of those really great POV memes where POV doesn’t make sense at all in that context like
POV: You’re a bot
Take your upvote and get out!
Although I must admit that is the logical meme format...
Even though it's true that the left has messaging problem, the right has an efficient propaganda machine well oiled by the monied interest.
It's hard to believe that they can watch full videos in a lunch break.
