Reactionaries always play dirty, both online and IRL. Botting, obscure funding, identity concealment, astroturfing, sockpuppeting as leftist factions, psyops… we can’t compete just by playing fairly, fascists shit all over civility and get their way because of that. If we don’t use harder information warfare tactics we’ll always have the lower hand. They already call us Chinese or Russian bots, might as well own it.
