I am arguing for the presumption of innocence, from the position of 'trust but verify.' I don't trust the DoJ or the youtubers. Stacking up conditional judgements based on sources I don't trust strikes me as folly, but hey-- it's your time and energy.
It's not fanboism. It's friend-enemy distinction. They'd rather give the people on the right who are being pursued by institutions captured by the left the benefit of the doubt.
Yeah. Tribal. Stupid? Maybe not. Fanboism it ain't.
I just think it discredits us all if you have a bunch of people coming down on the side of grifters who larp as dissidents

that are quietly taking money from a foreign government on the side to push certain types of videos.
Again, never even the fucking allegation. Why are you taking the accusation, taking it at face value, and then making it worse?! It's insane. You're doing the exact same thing the leftists and bots are doing, and I don't get it.

No presumption of innocence, huh? My point about you falling for the op stands.
I understand that is the optics, but the optics have been engineered to be just so.
