It's astro-turfed to hell. If you can bend your political opponents views to serve your purpose you have effectively turned a -1 to a +1. They also do your dirty work by sowing infighting and reaping dissatisfaction.
Do you have any evidence of this?
Do you have evidence that I'm not in on it? I've penetrated the deepest levels of the russian strike force and can tell you word for word what the leaders of this insurgency is doing at any moment.
So no, you don't have evidence it's astro-turfed, gotcha. Why lie, then?
How am I lying? You don't have any evidence saying I'm not an insider.
If you can't provide evidence, or even reasoning that a fringe community of far-leftists is even worth astro-turfing, then your claim can be dismissed without evidence.
So your claim that I'm not an insider can be dismissed, got it.
If you could provide evidence, then yes.
Evidence is my testimony. Here want some pictures of the communications?
Edit:
Almost funny, but at the end of the day you're fighting ghosts and strawmen. Me generally being a leftist and asking questions directed towards people making baseless claims doesn't mean Hexbear is astro-turfed, that's not just a logical leap, that's a logical circus act.
