You know that they never post anything that is anywhere near leftist. So, if they were actual leftists playing a false moustache game, they wouldn't understand or be up-to-date with much of the alt-right stuff they post. Leftists make terrible shills. There are occasional claims that the IDF (Israel) are behind some of this. And there are well known Russian and Chinese troll farms. And in the US you can make a living with troll accounts, but the specific person or people targetting Saidit with the Octopus 88 nonsense knows Saidit very well and believes very much in the alt-right, racist, nonsense they post.

You kidding me? They don't post actual far right content. They act as obnoxiously as possible to scare away users. Only the left wants that, and paid social media influencers are this year's big innovation. The hard left got a ton of cash dumped on it in 2020 and they're using it to fund these campaigns.

The other day one of them used a tactic on me that the US government had used in their online campaigns against jihadi groups. Someone with advanced knowledge of psychology is training them. Actual far right are mostly complete idiots, and are especially terrible at understanding psychology.

lol - I can counter with evidence that actual leftists are complete idiots, but - in any event - we've made our points

Due to the personality differences and what they prioritize, leftists can usually communicate a lot better and write without spelling errors or the all caps so beloved of the far right. They're also not smart enough to use tactics taught in the war on terror to disrupt and demoralize jihadi groups.
