The purpose of the “Russian bot” accusation is to use an unfalsifiable claim to avoid actually having to engage with someone’s arguments without admitting that you can’t rebut them

Since you apparently like Star Trek, here’s a video clip describing your situation
Where did the comment you’re replying to say this
Shut up nerd
lol they gave Ukraine fancy NATO gear hand over fist and Russia turned it all to scrap
You’re just gonna have to get over the fact that whitey doesn’t rule the world
There is no such thing as legitimate opposition to genocide. Anyone who professes such a thing is just saying it to piss people off. Hamas? Trolls! The Houthis? Trolls! The International Criminal Court? Trolls! The huge crowds of protestors across the US? Trolls, every last one of them!
No, no you should not. No investigation, no right to speak.
“Uhhhh ‘the machine’ is clearly Big Woke that’s trying to make us all gay trans Muslims. It’s like you don’t know anything 🙄”

Journalist: M. Ben M’Hidi, don’t you think it’s a bit cowardly to use women’s baskets and handbags to carry explosive devices that kill so many innocent people?

What does a rapper have to do with it?
If you know so little about your own country’s credit scoring system, you shouldn’t speak so confidently about one on the other side of the world.
angry at YouTube for trying to uphold a stream of revenue, when it’s the only thing that makes the platform possible.
In capitalist hellworld perhaps, but in any decent society such a service would be maintained by the state as a public utility.
people in the west seem to just implicitly trust Nazi propaganda. It’s an odd phenomenon.
Nazism wasn’t beaten in WW2, it was internationalized
Funny how on the rare occasion they respond to posts like this one, it’s to make a snide comment about Russian bots
“They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”
