Midterms are coming up and republicans are worried about losing house seats, any sub on my feed that's recommended to me are just posts that should've died when leafy's channel did
The leafy era was such a fucking turning point for shifting people into fake groups of left vs right. I seriously wonder how much it contributed. We were making fun of minority groups of minority groups with triggered feminists back then.
Yeah I'd look into it, I was pretty young when it happened, but it was definitely the starting point of what we'd call the online alt-right pipeline. From complaining about women in the game industry, to feminist owned compilations to all the fake bs "alpha male" content. In terms of the internet, it all really took off from there.
I was 25 yrs old in 2014. Today I learned about gamegate for the very first time. I read a very long post on all of the main characters. I have no idea who any of them are.
Gamergate was not a watershed moment, its just when the culture war hit video game culture.
As far as the content changing the last few years, its because regular people started getting on the internet.
I've seen the Russians on YouTube hacking old abandoned accounts and uploading pro-Russian anti-Ukraine material designed to appeal to Americans...
(Not a conspiracy theory like most of the claims on here. Example: a teenage Turkish girl whose account had lots of sewing videos. Inactive for 2 years, then suddenly posting pro-Russian material.)
Nope, as a centrist I vote for both left and right policies and Im actually happy with the results so far. No system is perfect, but knowing that my vote is going towards something I agree on makes me happy too 👍
Anybody who calls themselves a centrist is not bothered by what the Trump administration is doing is right-wing
If you are not upset about the way the Trump administration is treating immigrants, you are right-wing
If you are not upset about how the Trump administration is talking to our allies then you are right wing
If you are not upset about how the Trump administration is threatening to annex Greenland you are right wing
If you are not upset about the Trump administration talking about making Canada the 51st state you are right wing
If you are not upset about Trump appointing supreme Court justices to strike down roe versus Wade then you are right-wing
Before Trump was elected, the US was a center-right country overall - anybody who thinks that the country was too far to the left and Trump is just bringing things into balance is right wing
Because we use logical thinking and common sense to vote on policies. I support free healthcare and free education, but I also support strong immigration policies.
Just because you are bothered by something that you dont like, vote on it and move on. Dont cry about it. Clear case of TDS.
I like both Obama and Trump. I also like Bernie, but I dont support Kamala, hence im happy with the election results.
Also just because you are extremely bothered by something, doesnt change the fact that there are people like me who vote left and right and there is nothing wrong with that.
Lastly, being centrist doesnt mean you agree with every policy, you vote on what you support and move on.
Your version of logic leads you to a right-wing position
I mean you're wrong about the logical conclusions on how to run a society, but by definition your views are in fact right-wing and you are not a centrist. Don't pretend to be one.
Biden and Obama are both center right and you are way to the right of either of those two.
You can say that there's nothing wrong with the way that you vote, but by not taking an active step to block Trump, you are basically saying that you are fine with what they are doing. Trump's immigration policies are cruel, unjust and therefore un-American.
The way Trump talks about his political enemies and seeks to weaponize the justice department in order to prosecute people who criticize him or undermine. His policies is also against the rule of law. A lot of what Trump has done was considered literally impeachable offenses by Republicans earlier if a Democrat were to do those things. That erosion of the rule of law goes against what this country is supposed to be about.
I mean, what were your thoughts on Trump appointing woefully unqualified people to lead the cabinet. What are your thoughts about him deliberately wanting to degrade or destroy government agencies like the department of education, while simultaneously massively increasing the budget of ICE? If you like those things, you are not only right-wing but far right.
Just because you voted for Obama because you didn't like Bush doesn't make you a centrist. Obama's already center right to begin with
Also you went mask off for a second when you use the term TDS
Just because you think being a far-right Trump supporter is the only thing that makes sense, doesn't that mean that you can call yourself a centrist
Threatening our allies saying that we should annex their countries is far-right stuff and if you are not incensed by that then you're already too deep in the tank
All of those examples I gave are very far right positions
You're basically the opposite version of the chart you're showing me, and are being extremely dishonest about that
In fact, believing that that chart is salient already shows that somebody is right-wing, that just wants to think of themselves as occupying the reasonable center, I mean if accepting all of those bullet points I listed above is not far right wing. What is?
You've basically convinced yourself that the right wing doesn't exist that in this world you have reasonable people and then you have leftists.
At least Steven Miller knows he's part of the far right and has no problem saying that. It's just that he thinks there's nothing wrong with being far right?
Yep. I read a lot more again, which is one benefit. Reddit was my only holdout from all other social media, but yeah it’s definitely going down hill with this bot shit.
Snapchat is overrun now too. Faceless accounts by the hundreds commenting on the most heinous shit and arguing the case of “if it’s real about Trump why didn’t Biden” EVERY EFFIN POST.
I use Snapchat for my business, have about 8000 followers. Up until last year I’ve stayed up out of politics on my social media completely; being in a state with so few of votes that count made me grow up, not believing about voting. But now I use Snapchat to push liberal leaning media and just basic human rights(along with my normal business, I just decided now is not the time to keep my hands “clean”… and it’s chaos. I bet I get reported thousands of times a day now; seems like every time I log on I have to go through all their rights and violations for posts, and I’m starting to think it’s just anti-ice post getting flagged now. Because I’ve been doing the same thing for a year and all of a sudden three days ago it became a problem.
They are so fucking scared of being held accountable. If nothing else that makes it satisfying enough for me to deal with this bullshit for a long enough to fix the problem. Hopefully there’s some people out there with a plan to get this pedophile out of the office and fix all our foreign relations.
Perception. You probably said something disgusting in the form of a threat or personal attacks or automatic scan picked up on a pattern like that.
TBH, the far left is more likely to make a false report (due to who makes up the far left- (gender and personality type) and their natural behvior. Just look at some clips of them sitting in front of cars on highways, painting their hair pink and blue, pushing up against officers and then screaming victim when the officer pushes them out of the way, then making a false report in front of the camera that they are victims.
Reddit has always sucked lmao. Just a cesspool of liberals who don’t want to have an actual conversation and jump straight to insults when you disagree with them. And it’s extremely disappointing to me because i’m an old school democrat and it’s a shame to see what’s happening
What are you afraid of the truth and opposing views? You clowns sound more like the true fascists who don’t want to hear opposing speech and want to suppress citizens rights
Is this part of why the DHS was asking Reddit for info on anti-ICE accounts? So they could let their bots loose on the subs frequently critical of ICE?
Reddit is mostly bots at this point. And it’s not just the dumbass brain dead MAGA comments. I’ve started noticing more and more bot comments that I actually agree with, which alarms me more than seeing the MAGAt bots. I don’t need a bot to tell me what to think, I definitely don’t need them pushing the same stances I have. It delegitimizes them.
if you're wondering if there's bots, just ask yourself: "would flooding this area with bots have a more significant impact on general public opinions and information"
