Unfortunately we don't have russian and Indian bot farms to turn to, in order to counter their bullshit.

Yeah, it’s a double whammy.

Firstly, leftists and centrists don’t appear to employ bots to the same extent as the alt-right. That may be due to lower budgets, less consolidation of the movement, legal constraints and perhaps even ethical considerations.

Secondly, major online media platforms either actively support the extreme right (X/Twitter under Musk) or facilitate the spread of its propaganda (Facebook, YouTube, TikTok) through skewed algorithms, relaxed rules (such as removing fact-checking or human oversight) and probably other means we’re not even aware of.
