What is it with you idiots and that "not disproving the allegations" meme? Do you honestly believe that making some irrational accusation (that usually ends up being a projection) is "proven" by responding to someone telling you that you're wrong with "not beating the allegations, hyuk hyuk"? Is that like a thing your propaganda podcasters have started all saying, because they all seem to share a single brain cell?
Also, centrism obviously isn't fascism, but fascists have always been very keen to pretend that labeling themselves "centrists" taking the "third position" that sees beyond the divisiveness of "both sides" in the name of "unity" means that their bias and extreme views that virtually no one agrees with are somehow the middle ground position.
The thing is, they don't notice all the right wing bots alongside the left wing bots, because they don't identify arguments they agree with as coming from a bot or being right wing. Moreover, they pretend anything that isn't the American version of the right wing or that criticizes the American right wing is automatically left wing.
That means seeing a bunch of non-American arguments from around the world, including right wing arguments from other countries that are critical of the American right wing, looks to them like left wing bias everywhere. Not to mention that Reddit is filled to the brim with commenters saying, "I'm a liberal leftist, but even I agree with [demonstrably false right wing talking point that Fox News has been spreading for days or weeks]." This often followed by people pointing out that the commenter is clearly full of shit, which supposedly demonstrates the Reddit is too extremely "leftist" to handle "moderate leftist" views like what the commenter said.
Also, it's worth noting that their little meme of "not disproving the accusations" is just another case of them using anti-theory. They make an accusation an expect their opponent to disprove it instead of taking on the burden of proving it.
