You don't need to find them, they find you. Just say something true like "Israel is committing some of the most disgusting war crimes in the modern day" or "Putin is a warmongering asshole". Once you post something like that you get a bunch of idiots reply to you and try to convince you that you're wrong without actually explaining why you're wrong. They just throw strawman arguments and whataboutisms or just straight up lie.

Those are sockpuppet accounts. If you look at their profile it will usually be pretty sparse and have few posts. I believe these are usually stolen accounts and the new owners clear out most of the old posts except for a few pictures. There's troll farms in se Asia that get hired by various groups and entities. It's pretty cheap because the labor is cheap or even endetured servitude.
