LOL! Then you have the Putin Bots and Xi's $0.50 Army mixing in with the f'ed up MAGAts.

"My act of war is not an act of war. Your response to it is!!!" - Trump Sheep #15674
I mean, it tracks with their view of the Ukraine situation as well.
It also tracks with the general conservative mindset that the "in group" is protected by laws, but not beholden to them; while the "out group" is beholden to laws, but not protected by them.
Which all tracks with having the mindset of a toddler, free of any shred of empathy, where, until proven otherwise every other person in existence is by default just an NPC without agency or self-determination.
That subreddit is nothing more than an echo chamber. If you express an even slightly reasonable view, you get banned.
The only way for dissenting opinions to be expressed is with the downvote button, and even then most reasonable people avoid going there because it's so frustrating to read.
I used to read it to see what conservatives were thinking. There used to be actual discourse in the comments about policy positions. It's now nothing more than brainrot and Russian trolls.
Has anyone found the secret spot where conservatives act normal and explain their reasoning? Please don't make me install nextdoor
Yeah, seen my fair share of conservatives fail to preface their shock and disagreement with something with a lengthy apologia and get the banhammer for being a 'brigadier'.
Personally, I automatically hate anyone that describes themselves as conservative, but you have to know that r/Conservative is not a very good representation of the entire group. It's EXTREME and one of the most blatant echo chambers I've ever witnessed; any dissent will earn you a ban from that sub.
I'm confused. The screenshot you shared just has two idiots sharing stupid opinions and 1.1 thousand/389 people (likely from the same subreddit) disagreeing with them.
I'm not saying the conservative subreddit isn't unhinged, but this feels pretty cherry picked.
Maybe share a photo of the most upvoted comments for a better reference?
It was a highly-awarded reply to the top comment, so it was the second comment you would see by default sorting (though it starts minimized).
But yeah to @OP this is not America or what Americans think. That sub is pure Russian disinfo and astroturfing. You could argue that it represents the administration and current policy, but most of the actual people here recognize this as lunacy, even on within the Putin echo chamber.
If you spent time on other platforms like Threads youβd see a lot more of this being continuously spewed. Itβs why I deleted my accounts on several services. While this might be a cherry picked example from that sub, the far right revisionist take is far, far more common on popular social media than you think.
One of the downsides of remote work is that I don't really talk to anyone outside my political alignment anymore, so it's hard for me to know anymore what's a bot/astroturf campaign and what IRL conservatives are actually thinking anymore.
All of these comments are severely downvoted. What are you every saying here? That one incredibly unpopular opinion represents them all?
Don't get me wrong, fuck them all. But this is such a stupid argument for your hate.
That happens when r/conservative gets to the front page where they are pantβed/ brigaded.
They do not reach those numbers on their own, and the most heinous shit is defended by the mods with the same voracity as Reagan
This is actually classic fascist playbook:
- We are the strongest
- But also - o no - we are under attack from all sides, everyone is against us
I hope they skip ahead to the last chapter, the kys-in-a-bunker section specifically.
If they're gonna play follow the leader they should play it right.
Seriously why hasnt reddit banned that subreddit yet? Is not like they ARENT ban happy in other areas!
But I guess fucking fascism is A-OK!!
Because it generates interaction and user count. Money before country.
God I hate CEOs
LMAO, because Reddit is extremely pro conservative and still largely beholden to whatever China wants.
Pedo-Donald will try to annex Canada. For the first time of my life I'm considering getting a gun. We cannot trust conservatives anymore. Poilievre and mostly Ford are just playing the though guy card now to negociate a position, mark my words. Be prepare to fight.
A shotgun is a really excellent choice. You don't have to be crazy accurate at close quarters, but you can still reach out and touch someone (remember, they're used for hunting Duck, Turkey, and Deer; games have to massively nerf their range because they're OP in real life). The ammo is pretty much everywhere and pretty affordable compared to some others. Also, if things don't kick off, you're not stuck with some mall ninja kit.
Accept the annexation and in 10 years the entire US government will be run by Canadians. Just look at their entertainment industry, they can't resist our Canadian charms.
Funny but I will die before anyone can call me an american, that I can guarantee.
The only 1% these guys can be in is 1% posters on the conservative subreddit.
Cesspool, the question is what % are bots.
It has been interesting to see "Canadian Conservatives", some of them top commenters, get viciously turned on by /r/conservative while lamenting about how this is hurting PP and the Conservatives movement in Canada.
turns out an ideology that ignores real problems and always seeks out groups to villainize isn't a good way to make long term friends
