      I’d heard “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot” before, but I gotta say, “everyone who disagrees with me is an agent of the US federal government” is a new one.

      If you were to give an estimate: How many of the people fundamentally disagreeing with you online are rational and honest people, and how many are US federal agents or in their employ? Percentage-wise.

        I still have faith in humanity, so I’d say about 2%. Most are misinformed, some are trolling, some are probably bots. I don’t think there are as many intentionally bad actors as we’re led to assume. Good question though.

          Thanks for answering! I was afraid it would be taken as sarcasm but I genuinely wanted to know.
