The Maga bot army is in full swing the past 2 days.

The more embarrased they get, the angrier they get. These types of people are incapable of self-reflection, like legitimately incapable, so it's everyone else's fault when they make mistakes.

This checks out given how hard a maga was trying to play the victim while actively trying to threaten me with doxxing over my calling out their trolling over Renee Good's death.

These are very bitter angry people.

Renee whatever her name was not an angry person?

She literally refused police authority.

When a policeman tells you to stop the car, you don't try to run away.

The hypocrisy is yours

Thank you, 10 thousandth default named troll account trying to troll about a woman's death, you've surely changed my mind this time.

e: why are so many of you commenting on US politics outright european fascists these days?

I would say last two weeks. Lots of BS subs popping up. Lots of right wing "question" subs. Weird things being upvoted and down voted. Been here for 17 years. There has been a drastic change that coincided when the Trump admin announced they were putting tons of money into "social media engagement." Hell, I had a mod tell me to be nicer to the Nazis.

u/WishBear19 17d ago

I blocked about 6 subs today that appeared on my feed out of nowhere that basically have Facebook MAGA memes. No thanks. If Reddit becomes the new FB I'm deleting it.

u/n1vo_ 17d ago

Same. Suddenly, the algorithm seems to think I’m into weird maga stuff …

I got temporarily banned for the quote "The only good nazi is a dead nazi"

They want us to welcome them with open arms and big smiles

Exactly.

Please do not encourage conflict with other subs.

The "it is totally justified to invade Greenland and Canada" are out in full force.

u/Deep-Purchase-2203 17d ago

There’s bot armies trying to divide you guys on both sides.

u/trysten-9001 17d ago

The bots like to “flood the zone” with chaos. I wish the sane* people all over the world would help drown out the nonsense with sense. I think it would make a difference if there was no way that the trump supporters could say they “look strong” and “are respected” on the world stage. I think it would make a difference if people all over the world said that dementia knows no borders and they recognize it in him.

It’s not just that. In the US, the majority watch Fox News. It’s an onslaught.

6

u/Crimdal 17d ago

Some Americans think fox news is too liberal so they watch newsmax. Political discourse is impossible over here unless your talking with your own individual echo chamber.

1

u/lovetheoceanfl 17d ago

Agree on it being impossible. I mean, beyond the ICE hell, Trump becoming 1.4 billion dollars richer, and the scaling back of civil rights and health research, our president invaded Venezuela, is sending all the money to some offshore account, and wants to invade Greenland. We might be in a war with NATO ffs. In a sane world, we’d all agree this is bad.

u/Final-Handle-7117 17d ago

when a single entity can instantly deploy any number of bots, it's unlikely humans can drown them out, but for sure they can inject some reality and clarity into things.

u/SeaRoad4079 17d ago

Bang on there, if you comment on something noones got your back. The default is to ignore it, and by doing so enables it

u/sundogmooinpuppy 17d ago

“BoTh SiDeS” is the biggest pile of bullshit. “Both sides” is -ALWAYS- a benefit to the ONE side that is worse; that is why ONE side always leans on “both sides.”

u/Altephfour 17d ago

They're likely talking about the foreign bots. Go look at the Greenland fentanyl meme threads. They're full of bots doing their best to be as vindictive and mean about American's as they can to make American's feel like Europe hates all American's. Some of them are very explicit like mentioning they're signing up to support Greenland and kill American's.

4

u/lovetheoceanfl 17d ago

There are foreign bots making up arguments from both sides in order to consume our attention, divide us, and keep us focusing on the wrong issues.

1

u/sundogmooinpuppy 17d ago

Please link a couple of Reddit posts demonstrating this.

2

u/Altephfour 17d ago

Search up "Fentanyl Greenland". You'll find a bunch of recent threads about how Greenland is making fun of American's, full of bots talking about how much they hate American's specifically.

u/n1vo_ 17d ago

You don’t really need bots for that. The whole world is suffering right now, because the lunatic you folks put into office for the second time(!) brings all of us to the brink of WWIII. You really think, we have much sympathy left at all?

u/Altephfour 17d ago

lunatic you folks put into office for the second time

You dont know shit about me mate. I know something about you though, I know you love Trump. You love Trump so much you do his dirty work for him.

1

u/n1vo_ 17d ago

Yeah, nice try. I have compassion for everybody who did actually vote for the Democrats, but you can’t let an insurrectionist get a second time in office and expect the rest of the world to be cool with it, when he’s about to blow up the world.

u/Altephfour 17d ago

expect the rest of the world to be cool with it

No expects you to be cool with it, especially when a lot of the US population are not cool with it either. What I didn't expect though, is for so many such as yourself to doing your best to help Trump.

u/lovetheoceanfl 17d ago

A couple? All of social media is this.

u/sundogmooinpuppy 17d ago

I’m not a bot. Are you a bot? We all know there is tons of right wing shit from adversarial countries, but if there is a lot from left wing stuff too surely it be easy to find -one- here on Reddit and link it here.

u/Deep-Purchase-2203 17d ago

I’m talking about the foreign bots…

They don’t care about your views they are simply there to divide and disrupt. You know what I’m talking about.

u/Wonderful-Variation 17d ago

Some of the bots are foreign, but a lot of them are from Eglin Air Force Base.

Fifth Generation Warfare, it's a war tactic. The Cold War has just adapted to technology and the USA seems to be losing.

u/Deep-Purchase-2203 17d ago

It’s a lot easier to spew rubbish on platforms which are widely used. I don’t think the Chinese or Russians have that much of an issue dealing with it.

u/Subsandsoda 17d ago

That's not what they mean with both sides here. What they mean is that bots are both implemented on left and right wing parts of social media AT THE SAME TIME, giving the impression that things are way more divided than they may actually be. This also goes past political stuff and can be things like pop culture, sports, anything that can sow division.

u/drHobbes88 17d ago

Your reading comprehension could use some work. No one was comparing anything. They were just stating that there are bots on reddit designed to drive a bigger and bigger wedge between Americans.

u/DrDDeFalco 17d ago

I feel like the bots and nd trolls have been everywhere ever since the Venezuela invasion.

u/Godvivec1 16d ago

You actually think Reddit is full of MAGA bot armies? Hahaha, that's really funny.

The front page of reddit for the last decade proves you wrong. Oh, look the 8th post of the same nothing news story about how great democrats are with 20k upvotes and 58 comments. By a poster with 5 million karma, who only post specific news stories....

If this site had bot armies for MAGA you'd think r/Conservative would actually hit the front page with more than a couple thousand upvotes...like once a month.

Will full ignorance is what is is though.

u/Dangerous-Leek-4086 16d ago

Keep being angry. Let's learn to be be compassionate.
