Barely anyone cared about the left's Russian bot insults, in fact we laughed at em because they ended up believing it. And way more aggressively, lol seriously? ''Oh no! Their joke ended up being more aggressive and funnier than ours, no fair! Where's the equality??''


"Funnier"

lol

And by "aggressive" I mean there's more right-wingers that unironically drink that kool-aid than on the left.


Lol yeah, okay buddy.
What would things have been like if every security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive? Or if during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? The Organs would quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

To be perfectly honest, some NPC memes were actually quite clever and funny, but most are just regurgitations and repetitions of the same, like, three skits.


I've not seen many memes outside of that classic image and people throwing it around as a sick burn (pictured above)


It did what it was intended to do and the reactions were funny.

The NPC meme was devised to dehumanize political opponents. It's another fascist practice adapted to an era where the internet exists. It's not just about US politics.


The NPC meme was devised in response to the professionally offended lobby, whining about anything and everything. "Oh noes, someone dissed a politician I liked, they must be sexist pigs!" When you have commentary like that, the NPC memes actually sound reasonable.

Weird how quickly the right reciprocates behavior they don't like while also doing it way more aggressively.


Not really weird - it's been going on for quite some time.

Also there actually are Russian bot accounts on social media. Whereas the NPC meme is based on the idea that there are a finite number of souls and a greater number of people alive.


Do you mean to tell me that a meme might not be realistic? Wow, what an amazing discovery! You should contact the Discovery Channel right away!
Come, learn about Russian Culture! Bring Vodka and Ushanka. Interested in Slavic Culture? Fill this out.
Stonk Power! (North) Kosovo is (a de facto part of) Serbia and Crimea is (a de facto part of) Russia
I used pronouns until the mods made using wrong pronouns warnable, so I use names instead; if you see malice there, that's entirely on you, and if pronouns are no longer warnable, I'll go back to using them

No there aren't, and the notion that they were a big influence in electing Trump is batshit retarded.

Those are troll brigades, not bots. Bots are not capable of accurately imitating human behavior online.

They don't need to imitate human behavior. They just need to post links and repeat commonly touted political positions and statements.

And are still more prone to making errors which is why they have people assembled into teams to post stuff, like China's 50 cent army. Do u have sauce?
