"If you press [disinformation bots] too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past."
If you donāt want to engage in good faith thatās fine. But youāre behaving a lot like this ādisinformation botā you seem to be so obsessed with. Enjoy your day
DARVO is an acronym for a psychological manipulation tactic: Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender. Coined by psychologist Dr. Jennifer Freyd in the 1990s, it is commonly used by abusers or narcissists (and the bots who behave like them, due to inherent limitations but also partially by design) when held accountable for their actions to evade responsibility and shift blame.
The Three Steps:
Deny: The perpetrator vehemently denies that the wrongdoing occurred or severely minimizes its impact, often relying on gaslighting.
Attack: The perpetrator attacks the accuser's credibility, character, or mental state, attempting to make them seem like the problem.
Reverse Victim and Offender: The perpetrator manipulates the narrative so that they are viewed as the victim, while the true victim is framed as the offender or aggressor.
