No there is just a major world event, a war in Iran, and people want to dump their angry hot takes about it incessantly. So you are going to have a big influx of people grandstanding about it being good or evil.
The majority of posters are indistinguishable from bots, because well, just like bots, they are working off a contrived script about who is good and who is evil.
I’ve seen some pretty broad and good takes about the current conflict, but they are far and few and most of the replies are harassing them for not picking a side.
Some of the bots, on the other hand, are very easily distinguishable from humans. The one who’s profile I checked out was posting well-polished exactly bot-like political memes for the past few months at a rate that would be a full-time job for an unassisted human.
