We need a sub dedicated to bot building, trolling and brigading effectively. Screw morals, or decency. They’re tools that maintain the status quo. What strategy would allow us to get as much bang for our buck?

  1. We need to build up a basic set of arguments that would be the most effective in convincing each political position to our cause. Eg. Different arguments would be more effective against anarchist than conservative latinos.

  2. Build bots that would enable would most reliably disperse those arguments. Spamming is not that great of a method.

    Bots are a bad idea, the best way is to alert people and have loads of people signed up ready to respond. This is what Israel does with the parts of the IDF.

    Like targeted brigading for relevant rising stories, etc. e.g. create a bot for Matrix or Telegram that tags the people “on-call” with relevant posts that are being upvoted and expected to generate a lot of views.

      this is exaclty what bots are used for, because you got to AMP stuff. and the fastest way to create peer psychology is to have a few bots create the perception of a group. it’s like eating doener kebap. You re not going to the kebap stand where there are no people, you go to the busy one, because you would assume from the group, that the food is better…
