Calling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It's so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they're making is salient and sourced?
"I don't need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview."????
It's also such a tell. Like the person can't imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can't imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
Especially because it's always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
