@aral that person was sad that a fascist didn't win the second round of the Presidential Elections in Portugal this year, so it is just "fascists being fascists"...

@jt_rebelo This is my shocked face.

@aral

"It should be possible to tell by looking at the profile if the account is a bot or a real person" is literally in the lists of common informal logical fallacies (it's commonly called the toupee fallacy.)

@passenger

bots in toupees get me every time

[j_hearsay@infosec.exchange]

@jt_rebelo @aral surprised by vote turnout efforts being effective? DNC, that you?

@inquiline

Honestly I suspect a lot of what's motivating him is just the standard "anyone I don't like or is embarrassing to me is a bot" dehumanisation thing that a lot of Europeans indulge in.

@passenger @inquiline I assume all Nazis are bots because I optimistically don't believe humans can be that stupid.

[passenger@kolektiva.social]

@syllusg

As someone who has brawled with Nazis on the street and also torn my hair out trying to write code that doesn't break, it is my opinion that both are very stupid but in very different ways.

@jt_rebelo @aral a gay polish fascist: what a concept!

[jt_rebelo@ciberlandia.pt]

@cairobraga unfortunately we have people like that everywhere. Like in today's news, there's a group of (far-right) women trying to revert women's rights in Portugal...
