Tbf to shovelbum going from “we’re all gonna die!” to “there’s nothing you can do, go outside and accept the virus” is a consistent pro-viral psyops message. Pretty sure they’re a sock puppet account for Coronavirus.

i feel like there's definitely some obvious bot behavior that could be looked for, like how when the venezuela stuff cooked off again there were suddenly a bunch of brand new twitter accounts purporting to be freedom-yearning venezuelans who all spoke perfect english and all just happened to post the same exact thing word for word

but also most americans are dumber than markov bots so i'm not sure how much utility identifying the more mundane bots would have

OH yeah, sure, it's just that once the people looking for them start going "well, we can't tell our methods, because the bot makers will catch on" is basically the moment they can shove in unlimited false positives, especially if the only authority they have to answer to is themselves, and then it's they opinion versus nobody, really, and they can and will convince themselves of anything, so long as it supports their worldview and their paymaster's worldview.

None of these bot identifying investigations will ever admit that most of them come from actors within the united states, it is only to fearmonger about russia and china

Basically, and also a lot of it is perfectly organic, from the dispossessed slave owners complaining about Cuba to the reinstated slave owners complaining about Morales to Mike WeltEisLehre complaining about the masks.

But making about the Russians and so on goes hand in hand with bipartisan foreign policy objectives and the furthering of economic policy.

He invested a serious pile of cash into vaccine funding. I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there.

His huge contributions badly distort policy in neoliberal or accidentally wrong directions, without allowing for discussion, also, if you're critiquing him from the other side.

there are a lot of ways to detect bots though, not just what they say. they post in bursts, they have similar/designed social networks, etc. maybe you can't make a 100% bot or not call on an individual account, but i think you can definitely monitor what conversations botnets care about at any given moment.

People will give you some well thought out critiques of Gates itt but if we’re talking right wing reasoning it’s this:

Simply put they don't, you can trawl the mass of tweets and other trash for the same set of words present over and over again because that's pretty telltale, but it's not always that easy, it's not a problem though, they don't need to show results, they can compare their results to their own results and deduce they are better.

Just like the other great circlejerk: https://michaelkreil.github.io/openbots/

Basically saying bots is just a way to dismiss speech, of course here it's bad speech and likely even done by bots, sometimes, but don't go thinking any of that research is worth a penny, it's a post facto rationalization for what needs to be thought by some people.
