This is genuinely kind of sad. You’ve talked yourself into the “foreign agents” kayfabe so hard that now you’re just walking into threads going “you’re foreigners, why do you care?” because the obvious evidence of this being a mostly American website confuses you.
Not that non-Americans don’t have plenty to care about the imperial hegemon’s politics, but let’s not get into that. The point is, the “bot” rhetoric isn’t made to be a consistent description that best explains all available evidence, it’s meant to be something to throw out as an excuse to disregard things that contradict you. Trying to actually sit and just observe things even briefly is missing the point of the framework you’re coming from.
