I dunno, I've definitely seen enough people immediately default to, oh you're a paid russian troll, chinese troll, in almost any political argument as a sort of easy thought terminating cliche, just as people will do so by calling anyone they disagree with fascists or SJWs or whatever the new terminology of the last 5 years is. Wokies, maybe, I dunno. This is just a slightly more conspiratorial extension of that, I think. It's not so much that everyone will be convinced that everyone else is a bot, it's that there will probably be more than a select few people that start to believe dead internet theory style shit, or start to punch at ghosts that don't exist. I don't know if those people would've just like, naturally existed otherwise, either, like if they would've naturally been paranoid schizos, I think probably they wouldn't have and our actions do indeed have an affect.

But then this conversation is littered with "I thinks", so it's all just sort of, tautologies and feelings, so who really knows. I just don't think it's probably good for people to basically engage in mass amounts of what is basically spam, and then have that be acceptable just because it's "funny".
