Weird thing among left wing Irish twitter users where they assume that an anonymous user they disagree with is the alt of a well known twitter personality. ie they conclude without evidence that x person in their mentions is really Gemma O’Doherty or Gearoid Murphy or whoever

I guess the assumption is “so few people could possibly disagree with me” that people must be using alts, nothing else could explain the existence of all these accounts

I hesitate to invoke the spectre of mental illness but the facts are what they are

This kind of thing
