Posts only divisive content and purity tests.
As US midterms are coming up, I believe this account is aimed at dividing left wing voters.
Posts such as:
Isn’t it weird how the Dems never do anything https://lemmy.world/post/51927959
Liberals won’t fight fascism https://lemmy.world/post/52333373
Democratic socialists aren’t real socialists https://lemmy.world/post/52438400
Liberals voting doesn’t matter https://lemmy.world/post/52486776
Dems are on the same side as fascists https://lemmy.world/post/51582749
Dems and Repubs are the same and both evil https://lemmy.world/post/48919455
It’s basically all just the same type of content aimed at disenfranchising voters and driving a wedge between them.
Then there’s the posts that straddle the border of calling for violence.
This is what real Don’t Tread on Me looks like, with a photo of a burning cop car. https://lemmy.world/post/48255019
Gay pride exists only because of violence https://lemmy.world/post/48229008
Reform is a tool of the rich, violent revolution is the only path forward https://lemmy.world/post/48875421
Reform is a lost cause, violent revolution is the only path forward https://lemmy.world/post/48908049
Reform is a childish dream, violent revolution is the only path forward https://lemmy.world/post/48875333
You will be called violent (pretty sure there’s an implied “anyway” there) https://lemmy.world/post/51149671
The above 3 aren’t OP directly calling for violence, it’s just some quotes he found of other people calling for violent revolution. It’s ok, cause it’s a quote.
Oh, and let’s not forget OP’s photo co-opting Donut, from Dungeon Crawler Carl, depicted in a Che Guevara hat and pose with “Viva La Revolución”.
There’s also the expected tankie praising
Ukraine is full of Nazis (a common Russian justification talking point) https://lemmy.world/post/51462389
China infographic comparing apples and oranges to praise China https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/f0cfb142-b8d7-4b2c-84e7-5124d6a03717.jpeg
China good for this public example https://lemmy.world/post/49169810
The irritating thing is the account plays on the current problems in the US right now and the anger a lot of people are feeling towards everything going on at the moment. There’s a lot of posts you could look at and say “yeah, they’ve got a point”, except that’s sort of the aim of the account; to draw people in by posting content that resonates with the reader, then push them one way while moving the political post so that anyone not as left as you is an enemy. Their account is trying to manipulate readers and drive a wedge between groups because it’s easier to conquer and control smaller subsets than it is to control the whole.
Absolutely pathetic comment.
Imperialist russia is literally conducting an imperalist war of land theft and genocide and you’re like "hurr durr Ukraine is Nazi and imperalist”.
I’m so glad avoiding all that western propaganda is working so well for you because you seem so incredibly enlightened. By the way, your boys just bombed another hospital and school in Ukraine yesterday. Glad they’re dealing with all those Nazis.
Yeah, “pathetic”, “my boys” and Russia again regardless of what I said before and how I avoided talking about them. 🙄 Get a new script already!
Maybe don’t make russia sound like some sort of victim here trying to defend themselves. russia has been stealing territory from its neighbors for basically its entire history and there is precedent and damn good reasons for countries wanting to join NATO to prevent further russian imperialism and atrocities. Ukraine does not belong to russia, russia needs to get the fuck out, and no one is looking to attack russia.
You know from the Russian perspective the CIA has been funding Nazis in Ukraine for many years. Accepting Ukraine into NATO is seen as imperial expansion by the West.
Even if Russia is the aggressor you must accept that NATO played it’s part.
There is no honour for either side. The situation is fucked and is a complete failure of diplomacy.
I don’t see a problem with SaltyAmericans posts. Democracy in the US is dead and you will need violence to get it back.
