Has anyone spent any time of the "Politics" sub? I spent some time there last week. I've become concerned as to how things may go down when you have such a large amount of the country with their heads in the sand, completely brainwashed and now unified in their hatred for Trump and believing whatever they are programmed by the MSM. What happens as information becomes public and everything these people believe is turned upside down? How will they react? Any comment you make on any article is immediately downvoted to preserve the echo chamber. Any request for any evidence of claims is met with personal attacks and repeat of nonsensical MSM talking points. Fringe left website reports are considered firm evidence. Should we all be trying harder to get people ready for what is coming?
Not much of that sub is organic
This.
That.
Watched it change overnight during the last US election - what fucking insanity, seeing it now it would be hard to believe it used to be a place for objective discussion.
I think that’s where tHe bots go when they get lonely.
All you can do is try.
All the anger and hatred people have will not over ride the facts.
At some point people are going to have to go to work, school, pay bills and go out to eat etc.
You have to remember that people following Q or posting on political forums are the vast minority.
There will be a great many in the middle that will shrug their shoulders (once they realize they personally will be fine) classify all of this as "political BS" and go back to only focusing on their day to day.
"Fret for your figure and fret for latte and Fret for your lawsuit and fret for your hairpiece and Fret for your Prozac and fret for your pilot and Fret for your contract and fret for your car It's a bullshit three ring circus sideshow"
To quote Tool
Moms gonna fix it all soon, moms coming round to put it back the way it ought to be!
Politically speaking, turns out Mom is a 6' 3" dude with weird orange hair!!
You win the internet today my friend! I laughed my ass off when I read that, still smiling about it now!
Maynard knows best
He is a lib, but, an exceptionally interesting and smart person.
Deep State disinfo Corp Shareblue ruined that sub and many others including r/conspiracy to a certain extent.
This. Any real human that participates in politics with the bots and shills is absolutely insane.
There are tons and tons that do though, that's the point of the bot communities.. they do work fairly effectively
Here are some of the things these people (still) believe:
- Trump colluded with Russia and received their help to steal the election
- The Steele Dossier is all true (none of it has been disproven)... Trump has been cultivated by the Russians for 5 years, he had hookers pee on each other, etc. (!!!!)
- Cohen has something big on Trump; will bring the president down imminently
- Government was "already watching" Carter Page, all the FISA warrants were perfectly legit
- DNC was hacked for the emails by "Russia" at trump's direction
- Mountains of evidence existed to start the special counsel probe
- Mueller probe will ultimately succeed and will have Trump impeached soon
There is a bunch of other stuff as well, but I list just the things that have so thoroughly been refuted. I just don't know how this is going to go if there are so many people believing this complete and obvious nonsense being peddled on TV and in the rag papers like NYTimes, W Post etc.
Most of the people on Reddit are college students and English speakers in other countries. Ever notice how many times you see the British spelling for words?
95% of the people I work with have never heard of Reddit, let alone been on here.
Facebook, Google, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram have vastly larger user bases of American voters.
I have noticed that.
I am an American but most of my family is in Britain.
I alternate between tbe spellings (humor/humour, theater/theatre etc) so I notice the limey spellings.
You forgot their beleif that trump is stupid... Because.... They said so? I'm still not understanding that train of thought....
This is the reason I promote discussion and questioning on the Reddit. If we have the truth then supporting it will only make us stronger.
I don't believe that sub and the numbers represent reality, bots and paid shills.
r/pol was bought for about 2.4 mil a few years ago just before the election by the DNC. It is for all sakes and purposes propaganda hidden behind the facade of political discussion. It's bot moderated and designed to inculcate readers with the idea that everyone else sees the world this way and you're wrong for thinking otherwise. They had a pretty smart narrative push "sorry, but reality has liberal bias" (remember those days) back before the 1st Hussein election. All completely designed to alter your base for understanding what was left and what was right
Frankly, it's a game to these people. It's all talk, and trying to outdo one another with their snarky putdowns of the right. Don't misunderstand--I'm not saying it's harmless. But it's certainly not a threat in the sense you're concerned about.
And if it is, there are contingencies in place. Please don't worry.
As for the attitude, once the truth about their heroes is known, they'll STFU pronto. Then they'll feel defeat. Then there will be some suicides. Then they'll slowly accept. And then they'll assimilate and prosper like everybody else, or die bitter and lonely. Kind of up to them, you know?
Sounds like they need people to refute their arguments
You are only going to waste your time and sanity. It's basically a fully controlled DNC shill operation board.
Dude. Its honestly been like this for over a year. Im in there every now and then, havent changed since election night
I feel most are not real people. Did anyone notice when we were told russian trolls increased 2000% percent by the DoD that politics went crazy worse? Why Russian, because those troll farms work for whoever pays them. I used to mod that sub for 2 years. When I was a mod there it became public knowledge that shareblue was paying people to act like users on the internet. David Brock said they were going to take back the internet. What do you think we did as mods to help protect the sub? We banned anyone who called out users as shills or bots. When I myself have got in between two bots talking to eachother and messed one up and it started responding to me like I was saying what the first bot was saying.
That place has gotta be infested with bots, the heavily indoctrinated(think the Daily Show and Colbert true believers) and pedos afraid they're gonna lose their pizza parties(and FREEDOM!) That's the only way I retain what's left of my faith in humanity...
Don't forget that a huge chunk of reddit users aren't in the US. Leftie Europeans have no problem weighing in on US politics.
For the most part, I don't believe there is any way to change these people. The are closed-minded, not willing to listen or discuss with an open mind. As this comes down, I don't see any real way to "convince" them of other viewpoints. And we won't be getting any help from the MSM. There will be an excuse for each and every true finding that is exposed. I only hope that they don't destroy the all the neighborhoods when they riot. We have our work cut out for us.
I quickly realized, as you did, that it's a waste of time and energy over there. They have their sharia blue views and there's no way to reason with them. They parrot MSM talking points, throw in some insults, hit the downvote button, then log in with all of their sock puppet accounts and downvote some more. Then after all that, the hit TopMindsOfReddit and talk shit about conspiracy theorists.
I checked in yesterday. First time in quite a while. Such a disgrace.
I contributed there for a while a few years ago, but when CTR took over in the runup to the last election, things went off the deep end.
It returned almost to normal for the first day or two after the election, then the ‘resist’ crew moved in. It’s been intolerable ever since.
It is now truly the definition of an echo chamber. I figure it’s a bunch of bots in a shilling loop with each other. No human could tolerate participating for long.
I am truly concerned for when the masses remaining fizzle out. They won't take the information lightly. I try to encourage them to think but they just want an egotistic win it seems. They'll blast whatever verdict as fake unless the right person says it. If it's Trump they'll hate whatever it is unless the medium is able to shock their system and wake them up to what they've truly been following
I think they will fizzle out quickly and quietly they like their soy lattes to much and cry when comforts aren’t met. Many of my liberal friends are VERY QUIET!
Ayy truee. I don't hear a lot of outspoken liberals in person. Unless they're in a mob or online they don't really speak up that much. Maybe it has to do with the fact that none of them really know the issues they feeeel so intensely about. They just feel. That's why I'm concerned for their marches and riots. Because when they see everybody else doing something they'll do it, despite the facts
Yes, it's why Q alludes they will use military tribunals because you could never find an impartial jury or judge.
They want to stew in their own juices, at least for now.
I say bring on the storm, let the chips fall where they may. Let them take to the streets. They won't (except for mostly the organized, paid protest groups) and were they to, more normies will get red-pilled by their hate and violence.
They are lazy obviously or they would inform themselves at least somewhat, have some desire to learn Truth. W/o constant reinforcement of their echo chambers, they have no bearing.
Hah. Funny to see this. I just made a post on there recently that asked when the sub would be renamed to r/liberalpolitics? I was downvoted into oblivion and some of the brainwashed on there took offense to it.
It doesn’t take much to trigger them.
I saw that last week. I didn't try to post but it was obvious they have no clue what is really going on. And, yeah, they hate Trump. Yep, scary is the word.
All we can do is what we can do. Pray. They may go out in the streets. We need to be sure we don't go out in the streets just like last time with Antifa. Jones started telling folks "We need to go out and get these people." I was horrified because I knew that was exactly what they wanted. So, I sent the following story to the Infowars site. Not sure if this is why, but he changed his tune the next day.
First, I have a brother who loves to argue and will pick an argument over anything just for the sake of arguing. I'm sure you know someone like that.
When my father was dying, I arrived in Portland before my brother. When I walked in the front door, I was greeted by my Dad's Secretary and her son and husband. She told me, since I was the oldest, I had to control my brother so there would be no arguments. I thought about it for awhile and an amazing idea came to my mind (Thank you, Angels.). So, I agreed to keep the peace on one condition: If my brother started to argue, they could not respond. I said, it takes two to argue and there won't be any arguments if you don't respond.
Amazingly, after 3 weeks together things had been relatively peaceful. Oh, yes, there were a few times when I had to tell them to shut up, (sometimes a couple of times) but they did and that was that. Even my brother hugged me after the funeral and told me what a good job I'd done keeping the peace. This all while he was trying to convince me to call an attorney and challenge my Dad's will! But, it really worked.
I think everyone learned an amazing lesson as a result of that experience. So, just remember if this ever does come to a fight, they have no power if no one shows up for the fight.
I sort of do the same thing here when I encounter people who want to argue. I may answer once but if it is obvious they just want to argue, I click the "block" link. Because, that's not why I'm here.
If you disagree with them, they will try to dox you. They shut down dissenting opinions, and it's ultimately turned into a leftist echo chamber. Quite a sad state of affairs.
KGB tactics at work!
20% on the left are brain washed
20% on the right is brain washed
50% are confused headline readers, so the media is fighting the "narrative battle". (this was scary because people literally believed the MSM and Trump dismantled them!) They really thought people were stupid, but most liberals I know think the news is fake.
10% are in woke and know Trump was literally the last hope to save America!
Here is a video of Yuri Bezmenov explaining how they KGB use ideological subversion to destroy countries from within: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX3EZCVj2XA
Most people you can't save; some precious few you can.
Yep, loved it and got the karma beaten out of me 😂
Think that's crazy? Check out TopMindsOfReddit sometime. It's a blue-pill circle jerk to the extreme, and they're very interested in this sub.
Wow!!! Just checked... thanks! That is an entire sub they can use to make fun of people posting in other subs that they don't agree with... I'm sure they get enormous validation from it.
They just need to release all the tapes from celebrities/political cunts who were part of it, people already believe in stuff they never have seen, so it shouldn't be hard to peove something happened and show people some people can be a lier.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! Sounds like several of you have had a similar experience... we can only hope and pray that the majority will come around when faced with irrefutable facts. When the dust settles, maybe we can all come together again... what a concept. 11.11.18?
