It's not really building dissent when it's so similar to what many braindead anti-western people post someone is fooled into arguing with it almost 50% of the time.

More like upping the numbers of idiots already out there.

I have seen first hand how this kind of propaganda pushes people further into a fervor that they would not normally have fallen into. If this bot gets a few people worked up enough to talk to, and convince, their friends in real life, then it works even better.

    I don't think people are necessarily sheep, but people are social creatures and that gives con artists and power grabbers more room to maneuver.
