The first amendment is the source of this division in the first place: it’s allowing Putler and Xitler to sap and impurify our precious bodily fluids. For the sake of democracy, it needs guardrails against foreign autocratic talking points, and the domestic interlopers repeating them need to be suppressed.

I’m not sure if you saw my wall of text this morning. The meat of it:

The reason people are seeing $evil_country bots everywhere is because our own government and our own corporate media tell us they are everywhere, not because they are everywhere. The propaganda is coming from inside the house. They’ve spent the last seven years and who knows how much money trying to convince us of. They’re trying to manufacture our consent to censorship.

They tell us what opinions are $evil_dictator talking points so we know what opinions to dismiss out of hand, and to see the people & organizations that express those opinions as malevolent foreign agents, so we never listen to them again. They’re training us to do some of the censoring for them.

I didn’t expect a Dr Strangelove reference but I have learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.

I got called a bot so many times I just stop engaging. It is dehumanizing.

Don’t take it personally: those who call us bots are just NPCs.
