Oh, they are real, they aren't just bots, and they've all been emboldened.

Go on these people's facebooks, or invite them to Thanksgiving, you'll see the same firehose of shit.

A fun game is to look at Facebook profiles selected from random comment sections.

By doing this, I have come away with even less understanding of people’s believes, motivations, etc.

Profiles can be faked too

exactly, clicking on most bluecheck accounts on any politically active post on twitter and you will likely find a bot posting 24/7 about politics, usually as a right wing troll, been quite a while since I spotted a leftist one, but I have seen a few.

I used to think that, then the last decade happened. The conspiracy theorists are in the halls of power now and their followers are frothing at the mouth for revenge against perceived enemies. The uncomfortable uncle at Thanksgiving is now driving national health policy and funding.

They are real. I cleansed 100s of people from Facebook that were planning Charlie Kirk vigils and shit. It's real.

Are you seriously claiming it to be objectionable to mourn for a man who was murdered in cold blood? That's pretty fucked up if so.

What concern of it is yours? Will you mourn whomever I ask you to mourn? Sounds like an absurd proposition.

> claiming it to be objectionable to mourn for a man who was murdered

To be fair, a vigil held in the wake of a death is in mourning. A "vigil" held today for Kirk is a right-wing rally.

There is a huge difference between holding a vigil and demanding retribution.
