  • What’s your definition of a trollbot? I don’t often express political opinions of any kind, but I feel really strong about private communication and even though I only mentioned a legitimate party that’s in the EU parliament I am denied personhood. I am usually on the same side as the people proclaiming me a bot. Try to see how your devaluing of others’ positions by denying they’re human or thinking for themselves comes across. It’s thought-terminating cliches and snarky soundbites all the way down.


  • These ‘useful idiots’ are exactly the far right-wing officials who get repoortedly bribed by China and Russia, and are criticized by their own party members for their incompetence.

    Why not all of them, in different domains? What would you call MPs who vote for this without understanding how it works and why it’s untenable? I’d sooner call them useful idiots and those getting bribes something else, they’re at least getting paid.
