They’d fit right at home on r/Asmongold. That place has become a KotakuInAction offshoot in recent months. So much right wing, anti-woke and anti-trans content gets posted there that I’m surprised the admins haven’t quarantined or banned it.
so i’m not very familiar with asmongolds content, but I know someone who keeps posting his videos into a group chat I’m in together with anti-woke “why are there minorities in my video games” comments.
is that the type of content asmongold produces or is my acquaintance just extremely dense?
“It is unambiguous clear that our message is toxic and the majority of people reject our ideology and us with it. Therefore, the most logical solution is to create an artificial narrative via manipulation and vote-buying that makes it appear that people like us.” -these people probably

Well, it worked with the news.
It also worked with Reddit. The Palestine discourse there is utterly repulsive and gleefully genocidal.
Is it really that bad? I haven’t been on Reddit in over a year.
worldnews is absolutely surreal and awful. Country specific subreddits are also getting worse and worse.
It’s hilariously ironic that I got banned from worldnews four years ago for criticizing the Saudi regime and how they use millennia-old scripture as justification to treat women horribly. Apparently that’s ‘bigotry.’
Everything I hear about the toxicity of worldnews these days is baffling.
Holy shit you’re not wrong. I just browsed the top of the week on World News for a good twenty minutes and there wasn’t a single post about the thousands of civilians that have been killed. I didn’t see a single pro Palestine post and anybody talking about the literal war crimes being committed over there we’re just downvoted. I think I agree with your word choice of “surreal.” It feels like straight up propaganda and they are all falling for it. Every post about Israel was just saying something about how they’re taking out the terrorists.
This is what they do in real life too though. They know the US is mostly liberal (based on the popular vote) so they have to abuse money and historical power to manipulate the votes into their favor.
You’re telling me I could be getting paid for this shit?
There absolutely no way this isn’t an ad for upvote buying services lol this is so insane and transparent and the worst part is it’ll work
It screams Steve Bannon.
Keen observation skills. I wouldn’t have caught on, I’m sad to say.
Have to respect someone getting in on grifting conservatives without even endorsing their views in the process.
Honestly, there’s and endless sea of grift attempts going on at all times. You don’t think people selling fake gold Trump coins, etc give one damn about his politics, do you? They’re just trying to wring every penny out of the die hards
Last presidential election here in Brazil there were some some traffic light salesman selling towels with the presidential candidates. And they walked around with a score board showing which one had sold more. And they sold a lot more because people didn’t want to see their beloved candidate on the losing side.
Man, the cash I could make with flexible ethics.
“How dare the left accuse us of fascism, they’re the fascists! Now c’mon everyone, let’s conspire to fake vote totals so we can assert authority we didn’t earn.”
“Our opinions are wildly unpopular to the point where even if a bunch of us showed up we’d struggle to make a difference so we’re gunna need to buy upvotes!”
Like…c’mon.
The right may not have good ideas, organizational skills, charm, ethics, understanding of economics, history, or politics, or strength in numbers, but they do have the one thing more important than all of these.
Money!
Have you seen the content there?
Yeah they’re gonna need lots of money to get any attention
Oh wow, so it’s basically a content farm for /r/TheRightCantMeme
Fuckin’ yikes.
Gasp, you all surely don’t believe that conservatives would ever engage in voter manipulation tactics… r-r-right!?
Does they encourage people to buy upvotes in friendly subreddits? Either they are not friendly or them buying internet points is even more useless than I thought.
I think they are posting on “friendly” subreddits so their posts dont get deleted and buy upvotes so they are recommended to people browsing r/all
“We’re victims!!! 😭😭😭”
Everyone with a Reddit account, let’s sell upvotes to conservatives on Jordan_Peterson_Memes. It’s income redistribution with zero impact.
Point me to the sign up sheet
Remember guys “no brigading” is only a reddit-wide rule and does not apply to brigade efforts that originate from outside of reddit. Also, koboldcpp is great for self-hosted text generation ai. I don’t know who needs to read this so go crazy with that information.
Brb gonna sell some upvotes and not actually do anything lol
Show me your ways wise man
It’s easy; you just go on the internet and tell lies
You really think someone would do that, just go on the internet and tell lies?
You ai bots aren’t fooling me!
I have never lied on the Internet.
Mostly.
You wouldn’t!
Counter argument: Reddit is predominately American. These upvote sites use low cost foreign slave labor to generate their output. Buying upvotes is outsourcing jobs. Keep Reddit American. Don’t buy upvotes!
I’m not American and I am a Redditor!
