This is propaganda. Its the left’s version of “roving caravans of gang members coming into the country”

What do you mean try? They are not desperate. They just are doing it. On every platform. The left is absolute cooked. There is no defense from the left against this. The left saw the writing on the wall and shot themselves in the foot over this decades ago. Now the right have the tools that the left used and because the left gave out to capitalism and profit seeking, the right was able to co-opt the platforms and use those same tools to accomplish a hostile takeover. Just wait until the kids today who experience the internet and the views spread on these platforms become adults. Maybe we can make some bean and moth memes until then.

It’s anger.

I went on Facebook earlier. I saw a post in a ‘Lord of The Rings’ group that shared a meme comparing orcs to immigrants. The whole joke was that the orc said “my son was born in the shire therefore he is a hobbit” because you know. Immigrants and refugees.

And then I saw a Bobs Burger group where the main post was the family holding up an anti Trans flag. This stuff is daily. The comments are much worse.

I see this everyday and I partially blame all of you here. So many of you here were the ‘exodus’ people. Convincing every liberal or leftist user to block and ban and remove ourselves from other areas online. Since then everything has become so much worse and even though responsibility is on the poster, I still hold so many of you responsible for quitting when you’re needed the most.

I come here to lemmy to see if anything crazy good is happening and it isn’t. Like 4chan launched whole ass investigations. A bunch of racist morons performed some of the greatest opsec in internet history. Lemmy is posting about beans and moths and I just don’t know what to do beyond being mad at you all.

And I get it, touch grass. But that doesn’t help when I log off and go out only to find that the hatred and toxicity from these major platforms is infecting the whole yard. There’s no escape. And you people who are suppose to be the resistance can’t be fucking bothered. You’re like lulled into this weird quiet existence only to be rallied under the most useless civic action imaginable every 2 years.

I just don’t know what to do other than be mad and angry.

We should be out there. Identifying these networks and the latest strategies being used to corrupt everything. We should be innovating and building protections with fediverse. Instead we got pro China moderation and censorship and bean memes. I don’t know. It’s just defeating.

Why Comment. There’s like 4 people here. Do you do this often?

Twitter, Facebook and even reddit to a lesser extend during the 2024 exodus. APIs also had a coordinated lock down across all of them around 2024 as well.

I assert nothing online at this scale is grass roots. The internet is much more tightly controlled than I think we want to admit.

I think comments from leftist spaces like “Don’t roll with pigs” or that they’re leaving these spaces was a coordinated astro turf to clean them up to prepare for next election cycle.

So now both Democrats and Republicans are going to use facebook’s and Instagram and content creators to highlight and spread content about how bad Mamdani is doing. Which they have ease of access now since the political left removed themselves from all digital conservations and spaces that are not 100% left.

The limit will basically be if the right wing people turn on him because you guys aren’t doing shit fuck all. The best that the left can hope for is for people on the right having a “come to Jesus” moment and wanting to stop him cause they will. Lemmy users can post about it when it happens

Politics isn’t a game of physical strength

Maybe. Did they face consequences? Who polices the rules?

Yea which is not just targeted at right wing people. They likely have just as much aimed at the left. They may even want people on the left to remove themselves from the conversation so the machine doesn’t need to spend as much energy spreading it’s message. If the people who would call them out or challengé them are gone then it benefits them.

No, you’re not. In fact when you actually engage with them smartly, a lot really do lean socialist. They just don’t realize it because for some strange reason, progressives and leftist decided to abandon channels of communication and to hide away entirely telling each other to block anyone that looked at them funny.

The harsh reality that a lot of you have to face is that they may actually be smarter than the progressive left. They had a higher social awareness and they all knew the rules of the game and played well. We failed to fucking show up time and time again. When we did, it was the most useless fucking bullshit.

We are not what we once were. Go look around this place. Go read comment sections and try to find good insightful commentary that adds to the discussing. It’s all bullshit. It is all just repeating the same bullshit over and over again every post every day. Nothing is being created here.

You say that like you’re smarter then that. Or like your apart of a group that is better than that. But you’re not. Like it’s 15 years into this shit and you’re comment sounds like you’re just realizing this. Wait until you find out they’re also aware of this and not only do they use it to their benefit, you’ll find the group your in is totally ignorant to this. You’re being astonished at a bard playing music to rally his group while you’re in a group with bards that think music is stupid.

You’re on fucking lemmy after they convinced everybody here to leave social media. Wake up

Look around. We are herded into the most uncreative communities meant to stifle momentum. This community is for posting only news articles from certain sites and only about a certain topic. This other community is for memes, but only memes about Y. For YZ memes we have YZ meme community. Don’t even think about posting YZ memes in Y that’s a ban. This other community is for posting about beans.

But they’re the fucking stupid ones

Moderated right into our pens

But they beat you guys

.ml hates words like Innovation. Good example of what I’m talking about. For the non .ml users, they can see my point in action with you Chinese boot lickers.
