Just wanna post this, as I’m annoyed at how many bot accounts, ragebait, radicalized propaganda there’s been recently (that I’ve noticed) Discussion

Im not subscribed to this sub, but I constantly get posts from here on my home feed, so I look in and read em, alongside some comments here and there and I’ve noticed that a lot of commentators/posters are bots/trolls or people who’ve been radicalized and obsess over the “vibes and emotions” rather than the facts about whatever they’re ranting about, no matter the political angle they take

This includes anything ranting about, “project 2025”, “fascism”, “threat to democracy” and similar buzzwords

They don’t give a shit about who you vote for, they don’t have a point, or ideal they’re arguing. Their only goal is to goad you to respond in order to farm karma/interactions, so they can sell the account to companies/governments/other bad actors to spread whatever under “legitimate” accounts.

For the bots it’s a little different, their goal is to distract and exhaust you to the point of apathy divide whatever group you’re a part of, so you’re too busy hating the “other side” and too apathetic to participate in your local/national politics that you ignore the Ukraine war, or better yet vote to enact policies that stop your country’s funding and supplying Ukraine, as that’s the only way that Russia is going to “win”.

So basically ignore and report these posts and accounts(even though the mods don’t do shit about em)

This sub is filled with em, so honestly you’re probably better off blocking this sub anyway.

Sorry it’s long/Incoherent

“Ranting about ‘Project 2025’, ‘fascism’, ‘threat to democracy’ and similar buzzwords’”.

I think people should have the right to “rant” about policies and mindsets that would take away their rights.

Meanwhile, certain alt-right accounts are trying their best to invalidate people’s concerns and emotions by essentially saying “this is fine”…

OP is a troll posting about troll posts.

My opinion on their point.

Project 2025 is entirely real and dangerous

I would say to those who believe that this is not real or can’t happen, this is from The Heritage Foundation itself, which is real conservative think tank. And the Heritage Foundation has been writing plans for the “conservative” candidate in every presidential election since Ronald Reagan. Thier website for Project 2025 (which houses the “Mandate for Leadership”) is looking for conservative ideologues (no government experience necessary - just be a conservative) to join their leadership training called “Presidential Administration Academy” to take over positions in bureaucracy after they’ve fired the nonpartisan career government positions (commonly referred to as “schedule F”). The American Accountability Foundation (using funding from the Heritage Foundation) is currently making a list of federal workers they suspect would resist Project 2025. The Heritage Foundation has put out a shorter document (13 pages total) called “Five Reasons Leftists Hate Project 2025” which is a very abridged version of the “Mandate.” If they still need a sobering fact: in Trump’s first year in office during his presidency he instituted about two-thirds of the policy recommendations from the Heritage Foundation. And then if they still question it, then I would remind them that Russ Vought, one of the authors of the “Mandate” is now the Republican National Committee’s Policy Chair, and send them to Agenda 47, the Trump Campaign’s “official policies,” to see how much of it mirrors Project 2025. If one doesn’t want to delve into reading the whole “Mandate” (it’s rather lengthy and not exactly “light reading,”) https://www.stopthecoup2025.org/ is a good resource that has key proposals in a pdf from each section of the “Mandate.” If they don’t believe after all this information, then they aren’t going to believe and move on, as it’s not worth your time arguing with people who refuse to see reason or truth.

Tell me you’re a bot without telling me you’re a bot. /s

I posted something preaching tolerance. Essentially I was trying to make the point that radical polarization is reinforced by cancel culture. You indicated to me that this is because I’m the one caught up in the polarization narrative, and implied that Trump is anti Russian proliferation.

I think you’re going into many of your social interactions assuming bad faith. I wonder if this may be impacting the relationships you have with people. Everybody needs a second chance- or we resign ourselves to this dystopia we seem to be marching towards.

"I don't want to engage with the real world so everyone is a bot/shill"

Shoo. If you don't like it, unsub.
