    Wasn’t Maxwell involved with reddit somehow?

    The whole Epstein and Maxwell culture war manufacturing is so Deus Ex and Deus Ex Invisible War coded its eerie.

      it was in the maxwell court case files – that happened at the same time as the epstein files – and it explains that some platforms were high priorities and they specifically called out reddit.

      the case files also said that they engage in “narrative management” on such platforms.

          that was a rumor created by reddit and then added to the epstein files when someone from reddit reported it to the justice hotline.

          to be fair: the rumor had a lot of circumstantial evidence that was too hard to explain away as coincidences.

          the epstein files doesn’t have much about social media beside 4chan, metoo, and occupy wall street – the maxwell court case has all the social media stuff and good luck getting your hands on it now.

      i don’t think we should hate who we are or who the people are in our countries are, but the present state of things in our countries and political beliefs of those people

      you can’t have a successful revolution if you just consider everyone is bad just because they’re born in a country with messed up politics. as much at it sucks to have to overlook awful political ideas, you have to see the human in everyone to win them over.

      i’m saying this because you make it seem like being danish is something bad. of course, most people in the present most likely have terrible political ideas you have to disassociate being danish with the politics, otherwise youre going to have a miserable time.

      there’s nothing stopping from those “bad” danish people turning into the greatest revolutionaries of our time, when the conditions are right and they wake up to the exploitation of our current system.

        Hating settlers is a good thing actually. Most of America belongs to the Natives and you can very much have hate in your heart for the occupation of land; ideals or not. I don’t blame a Native for hating white people even if their ideals are different than most other white people.

        “bad” danish people turning into the greatest revolutionaries of our time, when the conditions are right and they wake up to the exploitation of our current system.

        We know why this doesn’t happen. It doesn’t happen because the Western proletariat is captured and beheld to their own interests over the survival of the third world. They are imperialists and will remain as such until modern colonialism is dismantled entirely. I don’t blame people for hating Europe or America or the people in it for that exact reason. Settlers is good read.

        Edit: I’m beginning to think we have a bit of a patsoc problem here.

          in my opinion, nobody should get hate for something they have no control over.

            Opinions are like an anus. Everyone has one.

            Settlers are settlers. Indigenous have a right to their land and to forcibly remove anyone on it; rightfully hating the descendants of the same people that slaughtered and penned their ancestors. Love, kindness, forgiveness does not come into account here nor should it.

                Are we actually comparing righteous native injustice to Israeli occupation? And some stupid motherfucker liked your comment?

                Hey, the difference is that America and Israel are occupying settler colonies and Natives/Palestinians are not. Jesus Christ, we got patsocs in here?

                  right, it seems you’re not acting in good faith, so i’m done.

                  should’ve realized that at the point when you declared your opinions as empirical fact.

                  btw i really dislike this tendency some of us leftists have of throwing a random pejorative when their positions get challenged, even when it is in good faith. it is a ridiculous look

            Also, besides the entire point of politics; if someone hurts the people I love due to mental illness (a reason out of their control to simplify it further) you cannot reasonably expect me not to respond. If you’re going to excuse the actions of mental illness; then you can also excuse the actions of the person responding in grief, anger or at injustice to bring this thought experiment up a scale. That is as nicely as I am going to explain it to you; the rest is using an analysis of class struggle, anti-imperialism and materialism.

              You are an autistic freak of nature. Autism is the ideology of silicon valley. You freaks will get what you deserve soon enough. The people (those you call “normies”) will nail you to a cross right alongside Elon Musk and Co. Or just fucking die already and kill youself now.

      I find it wild that Western European “leftists” can look at their country and be most offended by its links to the wrong kind of eastern savages.

    Know that there are people in the government who hold some technology job that sounds fancy, but all they do is post on Reddit and to earn a shitty government wage while having to pay for their expensive Northern Virginia apartment.

    Anybody remember Trump Train Coming Through upvote trails on reddit before 2016 election? I found a website that sold reddit upvotes via bots while investigating that phenomenon and realized that the entire website was compromised and therefore bullshit.

    So grateful for all you Lemmy hosts.

      Its just a reflection of certain sections of the white upper caste. The r/fauxmoi types, getting performative secular letters of indulgences by following the popular bastardized defanged version of causes.

      Conservatives go to church on Sunday, confess or donate to god and go to bed sleeping deeply thinking they are a good person- Liberals just do the same with different aesthetics.

        In certain areas, it’s the only option for socializing and mutual aid. You’d be surprised what people get up to on the down low. It’s just so exhausting, though.

      Reddit is so botted and astroturfed that subreddits will wildly change opinion on topics from one day to the next. None of them are even vaguely consistent anymore.
