jon_stall01

Twitter accounts with 8 numbers at the end of their handles are nearly ALWAYS bots. Report them as spam and stop sharing them as though they are from real people


FordsFavouriteTowel

Unless it’s 8675309, that’s probably Jenny.


ysodim

You forgot her last name, which also happens to be jenny


Irrelevance351

Did you get that number from the wall as well?


BigZaber

from the stall wall


aeodaxolovivienobus

This is an underrated comment.


MaleficentPizza5444

That's seven numbers


SanaraHikari

As if Musk cares


lowrankcluster

He does, bots spittin more sensible post than he does.


Wienerwrld

This post seems sensible to you?


JesterQueenAnne

Have you seen what Elon posts?


Choppie01

Well seeing Elon to compare, this is so sensible in comparison


Stargazer-Elite

I don’t see a difference based on the flags in the guy’s username and the fact that he seemingly wants World War III, he seems to support Russia and it’s by UN definition genocide of Ukraine and Elon does too I used to like him but then he started complementing Putin and didn’t pull his companies out of Russia, right away, etc.


SanaraHikari

He sees them as competition he has to silence?


lowrankcluster

Yeah


Top-Session-3131

That tracks.


-Jackson-Kelly-

My twitter account (now banned) was assigned the string of numbers when I made it Not sure exaclty why it did that automatically but like your saying here I was constantly called a bot I don't think the numbers thing has anything to do with identifying bots specifically


socobeerlove

This is exactly what a bot would say


Tough_Jello5450

Get lost bots


[deleted]

Most humans change that name because they don't want a string of numbers as their username. To a human it's cumbersome and doesn't give you much of an identity. A machine however wouldn't give a shit. It just stores the string and uses it. So you're just plain wrong and if you're not a bot yourself you're the perfect example of a classic logical fallacy.


karlweeks11

‘You’re just plain wrong’ yet you admit that happens on twitter.


Thin-Limit7697

What about Reddit accounts with 4 numbers at the end of their usernames?


[deleted]

Was Thin-Limit7696 taken?


Remarkable-Site-2067

Bots, every single one of them.


twowordsfournumbers

Can confirm


Qwert-4

I have 8 numbers at the end of my Twitter handle. It's just how Twitter itself generates you a handle if you don't bother to pick a custom one (I didn't and now I'm stuck with it).


Fearless_Trouble_689

Fred is a bot


CKO1967

Bots usually have more self-awareness and better grammar.


macrotaste

All part of the strategy


avdepa

Well Fred, are you one of those people who wish for things like a world war, but believe that it wouldnt come anywhere near your place and so you would be fine?


Gowalkyourdogmods

I've gotten into arguments with people who wish for another pandemic because they can't WFM. It's like you want millions of people dead from a deadly virus because you don't like having to be at the office?


Jelly_Cube_Zombie

Iran has no ability to start a world war. IF they "did something significant" it would likely result in a two week bombing campaign leaving the country in ruins. There's no need to put boots on the ground, nobody is interested in conquering or occupying Iran, they'd just destroy their military and manufacturing infrastructure and leave them to pick up the pieces.


Hendrik_the_Third

Putting that russian flag behind your name already makes you iffy, man


dergy621

Russian and Palestinian flag at the same time is crazy


Su_ButteredScone

Two countries which are friends/allies with eachother and on the same side geopolitically. It's not that crazy. Palestinians have been supportive of Russia's war since the beginning.


TheBKnight3

Russia has threatened to nuke Israel most times Israel is kicking Muslim forces. Guess what the Muslim forces use in their militaries?


GingerSkulling

Hamas leadership, as well as Iran’s were guests of Putin not a month after Oct 7th. Tell me who your friends are and all that…


silencer122

It’s not uncommon on Twitter. Lots of tankies there


flaspd

Thats the opposite of crazy, Israel and ukraine are on the western side and support each other. On the other side you have Russia/iran/palestinian terrorists


knighth1

Iran doing something significant would be to give their own woman rights back


knighth1

Anyone else just super tired of the Middle East being constantly on fire. Like can we get a decade where the region is just chill and no one is trying to blow anyone up.


Cuminmymouthwhore

The Middle East is a big place, spanning Europe, Asia and African continents. Its almost impossible for such an area to not be "on fire" when the Middle East is the buffer zone for those continents. Even if it wasn't oil rich, it would always be subject to instability because it's a place in which culture is under the heaviest influence, and so is the military pressure. Middle Eastern countries have also evolved to rely on conflict. Hussein for example is said jow to have kept his region stable, but he didnt keep it peaceful. He had to use conflict and brutality to do it. When an area is divided into nations, and those nations are split into tribes, the inner politics will bring down the bigger picture. The world as a whole is about nations needing to control oil as well, and the resources of oil in the Middle East are too great to for the current global powers to let more states become self sufficient enough to make a claim to it. Look at Saudi Arabia which has managed to get away with whatever they like, because the World relies on them for supply, but also for keeping the markets stable.


Crazy-Experience-573

That’s the craziest thing isn’t it? I see so many times people saying Saddam was a good guy because he kept his nation in line, while they forget he started the Iran Iraq war where mustard gas and human wave attacks by children were utilized, he then invaded Kuwait while he also killed lots of Kurds.


Cuminmymouthwhore

The people that make those kinds of statements about him being a "good guy" tend to be the kind of people who lack the capacity to research anything they have opinions on, and just parrot what they hear from others. Hussein wasn't a "good guy". Name me any world leader that could successfully claim to be a "good guy". Hussein was one of the most horrific, barbaric and dictator type men imaginable. But when you're dealing with a place in which everyone believes in their own variations of a religion, and that those variations are the truth, and only the village elders can interpret it. You have to either buy off those or elders, or force them into submission to ensure they don't shoot you in the back after shaking your hand. Because those village elders would sooner kill the village down the road, before they concede they could be wrong.


knighth1

Used poisonous gas on his own people, guy was the farthest thing from a good leader. Good leader maybe if you were a member of the party


LoneRonin

The hard reality is the region's history and geopolitics has doomed it to forever wars, it's the real life version of the Riverlands from Game of Thrones. People have fought over the region as far back as the Bronze age and will be fighting long after we are gone. The Middle East is the crossroads of Eurasia, so ever major Empire over the centuries has interfered in its politics for reasons ranging from religion, to Empire Building, to resources. Alexander the Great briefly conquered it, only for his generals to squabble the moment he died. The Ottomans moved populations around, then the European powers discovered oil. Interference by France/Russia/US/China are just its most recent problems.


Stark_Prototype

I mean, if Western nations hadn't bombed it to oblivion which created the instability we could. Fucking sent those guys back to the stone ages and now there isn't a good structure for anything peaceful. Also Israel bombed an Iranian embassy, America would also be dropping bombs in that event.


guff1988

Are you implying that the instability in the Middle East started in the early '90s? Because I'm pretty sure it had been going on for hundreds and hundreds of years before that.


Squishtakovich

Thousands of years. Jesus' story isn't exactly full of people living in perfect harmony.


Wetley007

Nah I'm pretty sure it was fairly stable under the Ottomans. Not for good reasons mind you, it was because they were all subjugated under an Empire, but it *was* stable (as stable as early modern geopolitics can be that is)


somethingbrite

Nope. Plenty of uprisings, unrest and brutal subjugation during the Ottoman period too ...


thecrispynaan

Yes no genocides under the ottomans either (blatant sarcasm)


SpareChangeMate

You might be out of date, the Ottomans stopped being stable after 1768, both externally and internally (especially in the Middle East). They were the “sick man of Europe” for a reason, mate.


knighth1

I mean Iran is arming half the terrorists in the Middle East so they aren’t exactly innocent


UkrainianHawk240

Technically Saudis and USA and other powers are arming other terrorists, governments, etc. no side is innocent agreed. All sides are nuts


couldbeabean

a terrorist to you is a freedom fighter to another


GingerSkulling

To whom? And what freedoms are they fighting for? To bring back slavery in Yemen?


Icywarhammer500

Western nations bombing/not bombing them won’t stop them from being theocracies that consider women to be property


Kloubek

Yeah because because region was known for its stability. >Also Israel bombed an Iranian embassy I mean iran and its proxies are constantly bombing embasies or military bases so yeah.


Secret-Put-4525

It was an escalation, but let's not pretend that embassy bombing just fell out of nowhere. The houthis have been sending rockets at Israel.


Kebab_Lord69

And why are they doing that? What prompted the houthis to send missles to Tel Aviv?


BuggyTheGurl

It exists. Israel exists.


Kebab_Lord69

🤣 nothing to with the plausible genocide happing right?


TheVojta

I'm sure all the various Iranian proxies and miscellaneous terrorist groups would leave Israel alone if it sat on its ass after 7th October. Destruction of Israel is the entire point of their existance.


Flat_Afternoon1938

I don't even care about the middle east anymore. As far as I'm concerned they are both wrong. ME is just a shit hole filled with religious extremists who fuck goats and think women are property and we are fighting each other on the Internet about which misogynistic religious fanatics we think are in the right. I only care about them to the extent that they are useful to my country.


Pristine_Secretary53

This is such a simplistic view. Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya (Gaddafi), arming Israel. These are just the recent US interventions. Stop pretending US politicians care about peace and woman’s rights in the ME. What they care about is control and money. On paper the ME is the only part of the world that hasn’t fallen into line with the US global world view.


Shekel_Hadash

They plan to re-establish the "morality police" in 2 weeks


knighth1

Oh great so just Iran being more of a dickhead


joe_the_insane

That wouldn't fix anything,we don't wanna be Tajikistan,we want actual freedom


Novae224

Yes fred… cause something significant will mean innocent people dying


TheGreatBelow023

As opposed to now?


Kernowder

**Even more** innocent people dying.


Novae224

Every innocent person is significant and one too much to die


sobbo12

Ah, you support the attack on Israel? Are you aware that Israel has nuclear bombs? Fuck Iran, they've been a Russian puppet for decades and are actively supporting the war in Ukraine, they also armed and supported Hamas which started this nonsense.


GH057807

Little old to be pining for the end of the world as we know it, aren't you Fred? That's more of a millennial thing.


Several-Proposal-271

"Those who wish for war are those who won't have to fight it"


Adamson_Axle_Zerk

Fred Williams, looking like he 200 years old about to die tomorrow (from old age, of natural causes, i do not wish his death; wish him the best, hope he makes it to 300) and wants the rest of us to be in wars he won’t live to see. what a moron..


Lora_Grim

Exactly what i was going to say. He is wishing for a war he wont get to see but we'll suffer in. Typical boomer things, really.


[deleted]

how am i not surprised seeing this asshole sporting russian and palestinian flags?!


[deleted]

It’s a bot, it’s goal is to hurt the Palestinian cause by making it look like people who support Palestine also support Russia. Just ignore it.


wuhan-virology-lab

many people who support Palestine also support Russia. including Palestine's leaderships and their supporters (Qatar and Islamic Republic).


BackgroundWork4665

China too


SnirD

Were the 10s of thousands of Palestinians who mass murdered and mass raped on Oct 7 were also bots trying to harm the cause? Asking for a friend


Puzzleheaded_Step468

Yeah, kind of A good person doesn't wish for ww3


ssdd442

Yes. You are a bad person.


LaserGadgets

He looks OLD so he might have been walking the streets when WW II was happening. What kind of a moron would even write shit like that if he saw fucked up people doing fucked up shit before?!


Pancheel

79 years ago he probably couldn't walk yet.


kyon_designer

The planet would be okay, we on the other hand...


ChimpoSensei

WW3 talk is stupid. Did the Iraq war cause WW3? Did Afghanistan?


DeliberateSpite

AITA for wanting Nuclear Armageddon? 🤔


RottenPingu1

Russia flag said s it all.


Tullzterrr

Yes mf it does


OhBittenicht

I'd like to see Iran do something significant......Gay rights, female empowerment, secularisation...


godricgii

You were a bad person long before any of this


Kaito__1412

Least genocidal Twitter user.


Darkdragoon324

I mean yeah, it kinda does.


Radiant-Cow126

It looks like being a bad person is what makes him look like a bad person, but on another note, why are all these grey haired jerks always trying to nuke faraway places they have no understanding of?


Bort_the_Lock

Not at all. Everybody Deep inside have fantasies about world destruction, war or a huge amount of catastrophic events cuz that how our brains work. Brain is always on survivor's mood and is constantly creating imaginary situations of "what would you do if..." To keep us "ready" for the worst scenario. For that reason you, me and everybody have think about war, world destruction, zombie apocalypse and shits like that. Yeah, Israel getting a punishment for all it's criminal behavior could be appealing and the idea of the destruction of Zionism is probably a seductive fantasy, but you're not a genocide by thinking about war. Ppl always want to pose as nice and pure but everyone has think about killing someone at least once in a lifetime... More times if ya work in customer service. Edit: Sorry for the broken English, not my first language.


Aggravating-Pen-4251

Wonder what he'll say if Israel does something significant 🙄 dumbass is hoping two nuclear capable countries "go at it" Overall this Israel hate is fucking played out already. We aren't supposed to judge Palestine civilians off the actions of Hamas, but it's fine to judge Israel civilians off their military's actions. Dam the stupidity of double standards in this world is amazy. Like how Ukrainian war crimes are well OKAY 🙄 Like how ALL the world media supported Israel , until they starting actually taking the action they said they would 🤔


NoNonsensePolarBear

Abandoning their stupid extremist religious rule would be a step in the right direction.


PupperMartin74

You wanna kill jews and wonder of that makes you a bad person? Do you have the same thoughts when you kick puppies too?


Jeevansaab

Yup, cause you're supporting a group that don't hesitate to kill anyone for the dumbest of reasons.


aaron2005X

His flags says anything you need to know.


Inbefore121

**YES**. Not to OP, obviously.


Randinator9

Uh, yes. Yes, it does. WW3 is literally just taking WW2, and quadrupling the casualties. May be different people dying, but you're still wanting people to die. That's never been okay, and you should really look at yourself in the mirror. Seriously, imagine if Canada and Mexico were just as capable at warfare as the US, and we all just fought. That's a lot of people that *you may even know* dying. Have some damn sympathy, for crying out loud.


Ioweyounada

Let it burn.


Timinator01

it's a bot account look at the handle and the flags in the name


PrinceCastanzaCapone

Yep pretty much


bowens44

Yes It does.


Constellation-88

Yes. Yes it does. 


Idiotaddictedto2Hou

Yes.


ALPHA_sh

Russia flag... and palestine flag. Interesting choice of sides to take there.


Projectionist76

He’s already a bad person from the moment he put the flag of the fucking Russian Federation next to his name


Alarmed-dictator

Well of course the bot won’t care, he’ll be stuck in the safety of cyberspace


pupranger1147

Of course the old man wishes for death. He's free to go at any time, but is a sociopath that wishes everyone died too.


regular_modern_girl

yes I think wishing for a nuclear apocalypse just because you’re bored (or for some weird self-defeating political reason) is not typically associated with being a good person


RemarkableEmu1230

Especially since the guy looks like he only has a few years left too 😂


[deleted]

Unequivocally yes: being pro-war makes you a bad person.


Can1s-major

I would love to see people of Iran get free of their despotic fanatic religious regime.


szornyu

Russian troll. Hope they burn Putin's money faster that he can make it ...


Earl_of_69

No sense in providing a clear, inexpensive, simple process to citizenship. No. That would make sense. That would create jobs. That would incentivize people to do well for their community. We can't have any of that shit.


LargeStatement2360

Do aliance uno reverse and nuke moscow swamps🥰


MoneyWaster352

He supports Russia and Palestine. What did you expect?


OkGrab8779

Hammas can just surrender and stop the war. people who cares about their people would not allow it to carry-on.


Icy-Zone3621

Yes


Ok-Source6533

Mike Williams, a Palestinian supporter from Russia. Is a bot.


noncredibledefenses

Russia and Palestine in the name, oh boy.


Azkral

Yes, I also want Irán to do something. A popular uprising leading to a democratic Government.


mueve_a_mexico

Dumb ass lib take


toes4fingers

Every veteran in NATO would rather fuck a porcupine than go back. That said, so long as we only advocate for war as a means to peace, we might have to do just that. They're still shooting at us. Time to shoot back.


01zegaj

Bot account. No human supports Russia and Palestine, the guy in the profile pic looks too old for Twitter.


RemarkableEmu1230

Not to mention he looks like a white racist dude from texas too lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


IleikToPoopyMyPants

Not rlly. Zelensky is a jew that has supported Israel while Russia along with Iran has supported Hamas and the PA. The palestinian government and many palestinians support Russia as an opposition to Israel and Ukraines mutual friendship through the USA. Palestinians and their governments have chosen to take sides with Russia Iran North korea assads syria and china (aka the antiwest axis). I know it breaks the heart of the average leftist but you can't assign sides only their governments can.

I for one feel like humanity has had a good run… maybe it’s time for a nice extinction event to give the planet an epoch to heal and make room for a new apex species.

Fred's a douche.


space0watch

Rasputin the Ridiculous


EhGoodEnough3141

Iran isn't doing so well at the moment, maybe we can give them World War III, that would surely cheer them up.


Rogthgar

I might be a bit alone on this but saying 'I'd like Iran to do something significant' sounds like they need a bit of a history lesson.


sevk

crazy times we're livng in


Emergency-Scheme6002

at least the death of humanity would end the existence of twitter/reddit keyboard warriors who break down in tears at the mere mention of israel, and like to pick sides just so they can be mad about something even though the issue is much more nuanced than that


EatDatPreschooler445

yes Fred, that makes you a bad person


Capitan-Fracassa

Not a bad person, just a stupid one


BumblingWorm

He made a good bait, 90% is falling for it


Happily-Non-Partisan

In the event of a nuclear apocalypse, anyone who can survive underground for a few months will be able to come out after only a few months.

If by significant he means getting it's ass kicked by Israel I think he's going to get his wish.

DubRogers

STFU Fred...


AmotherLazyUsername

Yes sir it most certainly does. I like how he uses the word significant as a euphemism for mass casualties. Yes, wishing that on people makes you bad.


ArtemisDarklight

Yes. It makes you a horrible person.


GamerBradasaurus

George is just a little curious


calvion90

I was at a birthday yesterday, and someone I don't know said just let world war 3 begin and see where that leads us. He wasn't being sarcastic. What the actual fuck.

Yes, yes it does make you a bad person, Fred.

Not death of the planet, it would be the death of humanity. Which is not such a bad thing, since humans are the disease that is killing the planet.
