      I saw enough r/nonewnornal brigades back in 2020 to have an idea. A harshly different upvote/downvote ratio along opinion lines between the post itself and the comments is a very good indicator.

      Saw plenty of apologist/sockpuppet comments like yours back then, too. May have seen this one almost ver batim, in fact.
