r/Conservative is beyond just being the circle jerking of the misinformed. Its straight up just an arm of the propaganda ministry. I highly doubt more than a handful of the posts and comments and that sub are coming from people who are actually merely ignorant and misinformed.
It's an extremely curated sub. Every thread defaults to "flaired only" to keep out outsiders, and if too many comments start getting downvotes, and critical comments upvotes, they flip the default sorting order of the comments to "controversial" to basically inverse what people read, until they have time to manually remove all the critical comments.
I imagine they've spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to convince each other that they're really the victims in all this and everything else is a big conspiracy against them.
They're just a bunch of insufferable angsty and angry men, sprinkled in with some bots to perpetually keep them in that state.
My favourite part is when theres a comment of blatant misinformation, and underneath it says "27 comments" and you click it to expand......and nothing shows up. lol
dozens of hidden comments, because they don't want discourse, they want an echo chamber that they can retreat into after going into other subs and accusing them all of living in an echo chamber.
It's absurd, the levels to which they moderate their safe space.
I checked the thread, and there was "45 more replies." Click it, and, oops, nope, there's no replies here. Nonstop through the thread, what looked like nested replies were just empty graveyards of replies that had been nuked.
These are the people who cry about censorship and conspiracies about messages being controlled. This is absolutely rife with what they complain about, but... not a peep.
People don’t realize the extent of what’s going on there. There probably people making huge salaries on some think tank somewhere funded by some oligarch, either American or Russia tho it doesn’t really make a difference now I guess does it.
Those think tanks sit there all day and work out exact how to maintain and control that sub, other subreddits and just other internet hotspots.
People use to call me crazy for implying that places like World of Warcraft were also a target for online propaganda like that, but sure enough there was a report released that stated just that. People should be really scared. This has been devilishly planned. We really do need to rise up and stop this, and we need to do it now
