@raphjd People who lead with biography ("I'm a Scottish Lass!!!") always turn out fake.
Nother classic fake is "I'm a 90-time Trump voter and he just lost me, even I now see that [lib viewpoint]"
Person is always either 1. pedo of Lincoln Project, 2. pedo of Antifa, 3. paid Iranian, 4. paid Chinese.
Nother is "I'm a moderate and would consider a moderate Republican vote if only you could see [lib viewpoint]....."
Person is always 10,000,000,000% lib & liar. RED red flag.
Nother is "I really like what u said flattery flattery" & then, down road later, person wants to justify pedo MAP & child trans, becuz we're friends rite?
Someone here tried that on me once
it did not go well for them, & they ragequit -

TOW University of Zurich lied for months, had AI bots pose as human experts.
https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2025/04/30/reddit-ai-bot-university-zurich/
UZ made its bots say "I am a trauma counselor", "I am a Black man" etc.
& found it was 6 times more effective to shut up people, or change their opinions, as regular commenters

don't buy it
be informed
being informed - ignore it, cancel it
anytime person resorts to "I am a.......and I think that......"
assume FAKE
