    The Reddit threads on it are full of imperialist, pro status-quo replies. Big yuck. “But they’re, legally speaking, terrorists who have damaged our bases[read: actually do something against British capacities to support the colonial genocide in Palestine]!!!” Every so often I forget these horrible people must exist for the system to function, else we’d be having better lives and communities already.

          .world seems to be getting a bit worse again lately. They tuned down a bit last year but whenever US election season is near the turbolibs come with it.

        This is what I picture when reading comments on r/unitedkindom

        Pro Israel, AI, data centres, shrinkflation, Online Safety Act, Palantir, etc.

      While there are many people that are genuinely that daft take heart in remembering that reddit is heavily astroturfed by US/UK psyops and a lot of those posting and upvoting are soldiers paid to sway opinion using bot armies.
