I have 3 comments from before that “copypasta worthy political rant.” You realize copypastas have to be copied from somewhere right? So all copypastas were at some point posted by a real person. Maybe think about that.

I get that US politics affects other countries. But why should you be attacking me as a bot off of one comment against a politician who isn’t in your country? Like… You were an asshole. I’m sorry that I connected your behavior with my own country. You just act so much like one of us.

Interesting I don’t see the other comments but they appear in the count. Might be from instances feddit does not fedderelise with or some bug.

Sure, that’s right - but there is also something in that initial text that makes people think, hey that’s a copypasta lets spread it. Maybe think about this.

Again, I just found your initial comment funny - it sounded like a typical political copy pasta and my response was in no means targeted at specific politics. The bot assumption came after you answered and I looked at your comments and was even more of a joking manner.

Like… You were an asshole.

Pretty sure sometimes I am, like everyone else. Not sure it was this time. But I will agree that I jumped to conclusions and didn’t engage you in a serious but rather attacked you based on my assumptions. Sorry about that, if you are not a bot and you expressed a genuine opinion that just sounded to me like a copy pasta - that would have been a bit of an asshole move on my side.

You just act so much like one of us.

Now I’m offended. /s But I also kind of deserve it.
