I some times think about it and how shitty people are

  • Yep, im pretty sure after that reddit Admins ousted the remaining mods and installed their own. Thats part of why the workreform sub grew so large.

    Definitely not a psyop though, its not like the government has ever done something like that before by lets say dismanteling a radical black socialist group by dividing it against itself into two competing street gangs . . .

    Oh wait . . .

      Had you read any of the shit before? It’s not like anyone needed to do anything. They just had to wait for it to self-incinerate - which it disgracefully did - and then take over.

      Why put in effort if all you need to do is eat popcorn and watch? :D

        TBH this is one of the left’s major flaws in general, in my opinion. The right will generally all glom together on an issue even if it’s not 100% what they want, just as long as it’s pushing things in the general direction they want. The left tends to be like herding cats, even if you can get a decent amount of people behind an issue, it’ll inevitably split over some relatively minor disagreement and then the two sides will spend more time fighting each other than moving the general cause forwards.

          The big issue with that is the right wants oppression and all the people that vote for them never think they will be under the boot until it happens. Unlike leftist, they know they will be under the boot the moment it’s convent for the liberals to do so. So they fight.

        I’d have to be really shitty at pattern recognition to think that the organizations that threaten the power structure the clandestine orgs seek to uphold just always fall apart by themselves while organizations filled with fascists last long enough to become institutions. Theres a reason Fox news was the one to reach out to them in the first place. Theres a reason the mod that went on air didn’t listen to the majority of the sub telling them not to legitimize fox and be the villain they wanted to use as propaganda, and theres a reason Reddit admins cleaned house afterwards.

          You have to be quite paranoid to think something as a few reddit people constantly talking shit at each other is “organizations” and “fell apart”. There was nothing there to fall apart. You’d also have to be quite out of the loop to think fascist people talking shit to each other don’t constantly drift apart or make an ass of themeslves publicly, either.

          But yeah sure, whatever helps you sleep at night I suppose. Or you could just stop trying to find patterns and hidden messages in every single wallpaper pattern you look at.

          If anything, you’re arguing that the original mod was in on it. At that point, Reddit admins clearing out the mods wouldn’t need to happen if the head mod was already in on it.

            The other mods are the ones who got purged, the mod that went on TV was not part of the mod team by that time. There was a sock account people assumed could be them though. This remaining mods started to share info with the sub on what happened, why the decisions that were made were made as well as sharing that the reddit admins were pressuring them to allow their hand picked people on board. Next thing you know a handful of new mods showed up on the mod team.

      ‘Workreform’ was a more accurate name for the majority of people that were on antiwork anyway, since reducing the amount of work and improving conditions while recognizing that some work is still needed is not the same thing as being against work as a concept.
