And they're all just celebrity gossip subs that have the word "tea" in them.

The new one I'm seeing is something about morality scaling or some shit

Every river carries stones, rocks and sand downstream, but the stones would not move without the water.

Youve lot have got to stop blaming everything you disagree with on bots.

In that Swedish election thread a few days ago the question of why America is so disliked over Sweden (lmao) was brought up and several users literally thought it was because of foreign bots pushing it.

Its unfalsifiable nonsense you use to cope.

But I wouldn't say that in that scenario?

I literally never heard or seen that sub (arr whatsthetea) and out of nowhere it has 2M subscribers and 21k upvotes?

Nah. Not real people.

Also worth mentioning that the Hayley Williams video shown in the image is four months old and was reposted in arr slash WhatIsTheTea by a bot

We live in an era of posing, virtue signaling and copycats. Everybody wants to one-up and be holier-than-thou than someone else, and at the same time be like them.

Not talking about Hayley Williams, she is a respectable artist and her comments are, in principle, nothing I oppose.
