Sorry long story: On reddit, in right wing subs, there's always accounts that come in and pull shitty leftist come backs in the comments. That's the only thing that these accounts do for the most part. When you argue back with them, they always use the same argument style. Hard to explain the pattern exactly but it just doesn't feel human (even less than a real leftist..). One example is that they'd link you articles that don't even make sense to their arguments. Also, they always take about the same amount of time to reply. They don't seem to have real memories of past exchanges either.

Anyways, I suspected they were bots so one day I decided to find more concrete evidence that they were. Basically I would send a reply to their comments with things that would make a real human react a certain way.. for example, I'd ask, "do you like bananas" or some random shit super out of topic that would make a real human ask "wtf". Things like that. I didn't get a single reply. Fair enough, maybe they just decided to ignore it, that's plausible.. but then I thought "maybe they only react to leftist topics".. so I asked them "define sex and gender".. surprise! They pushed out a chat gpt response within seconds with the formatting and all. Then Id ask them to define something random like a zebra or whatever and boom, they'd reply again with the chat gpt output. Then I'd ask if they like zebras or dumb shit and they'd reply with ✌️ emoji and stop replying..

Anyways, I didn't investigate further but I'm confident these are in fact bots. And real people keep arguing with them. These bots are only posting on right wing subs so I assume that the intention there is demoralization, fanning the flame and wasting people's time.. but of course I'm sure there's other types that post pro-leftist bullshit elsewhere for the same purpose as the OP. Idk who the fuck does this but it's probably weaponized autism.

Tldr: I found evidence that there's a leftist troll bot network fucking over right wing subs on reddit. Be careful with your time.
