taking that message way too seriously because why not. I think this bit really shows that it’s probably a bot

‘hamas numbah one!!!! hezbollah close second!!!

death to america!! kill those fascist pigs!

unlimited genocide on the first world

*bong rip*’

It’s just so unnatural, that’s not how people talk at all (wether fluent or not). ‘Bong rip’ is very weird, it’s not a term I’ve heard before and it doesn’t sound like something a person would just randomly put in hate mail

Now, for what kind of bot. This definitely isn’t a western right winger, support for Islamic fundamentalism is not their style at all. Death to America is also definitely not what a MAGA person would say probably (idk us politics sorry). So that leaves alt leftist (probably western) and alt right wingers (middle eastern edition). One thing we know for sure is that the bot hates Jews. Fits right in on this site!

Alt leftists also don’t really say stuff in this way, although the views displayed here are similar to theirs. They dress it up in more social justice-y language, there’s a very popular idea of ‘justice is coming’, and in the same tone that evangelicals talk about the rapture. Also, saying you want a ‘genocide’ is a huge no no in leftist spaces, you have to say ‘death to every coloniser!’ and that magically makes calling for the killing of millions (billions if we’re saying everyone in a developed country is one) totally cool! Alt leftists also tend to be a little quieter about their support of Hezbollah, they’re not entirely comfortable with that yet the way they are with Hamas and the Houthis. ‘Fascist pigs’ is a very popular leftist term now though (with absolutely no Jew hating connotations calling humans pigs or rats has no historical context at all), so the bot probably stole it from there, even though the overall message isn’t like that

My verdict is an Islamic fundamentalist bot. The support for Hamas and Hezbollah makes sense, the blatant Jew hatred that’s not even attempted to be dressed up as ‘anti-zionism’. The way it talks about ‘occupying armies’ and ‘first world’ countries (clearly only referring to the west, not ones in other places such as MENA) screams alt right Middle Eastern bot. ‘Death to America’ was an ultra right wing term before the left decided to take it, after all

Or, you know, it could be a heritageposts minion. They are… lacking in brain capacity, so the vast majority of the time their hate mail isn’t funny or hurtful or any of the things it’s supposed to be, so it just comes off as a shitty bot

iconic iconic analysis anon, thank you for sending. the only thing that was giving me pause was the "tho" bc it felt too colloquial to be a fundamentalist bot, but they could definitely have picked it up from the millions of death threats online lol
