So, maybe crazy conspiracy guy. Probably, actually.
But l mean…
-
/u/maxwelhill is still silent since Ghisilaine Maxwells arrest. This was a long term power user and has been around pretty much since the beginning. At the time it went silent, the account was #8 in total karma.
-
Aaron Swartz was a founder of reddit and died by “suicide” in 2013. Lots of controversy around all events leading up to it. He was hanged, just like Jeff Epstein. Perhaps he knew too much?
-
Reddit was scarily protective of /r/theDonald.
-
Spez was a mod of jailbait subs. And was quite reluctant to do anything about them, too.
-
I still contend that monetizing API was a strategic move to get long term tech-savvy users (the proponents of open source, choice in software…largely left-wing users) off the site…they wanted us gone.
-
I still contend that Ron Paul’s 2008 reddit fame was a trial run for utilizing social media to mobilize young white men towards conservativism.
Idk. Maybe I’m just being really paranoid, but man…I’m really looking at reddit, Spez, and the past decade or so in a different light.
Tell ya what. Go listen to the extremely American podcast start to finish, and then tell me how uncoordinated extremest groups, the christo-fascists, and the Republicans are.
The podcast makes the argument much better than I ever could.
Oh, I don’t doubt you are correct about that. I’m not trying to say that there isn’t any coordination. The GOP is definitely and completely overrun with extremists that openly work together to implement plans like project 2025. But we are also at the terminal stages of this disease and the patient is on life support.
Project 2025 is a perfect example of what I am talking about. It was supposed to be a secret agenda that flopped right out into the open almost as soon as they are done writing it. In a healthy society it would have been attacked and overwhelmed from multiple directions in the same uncoordinated way that a virus or bacteria would be dealt with. But instead, the infection has reached a point where 1/3 of the nation decided that it wasn’t their problem, and another 1/3 was actively helping the infection. We are at that point in the covid infection where the body is now harming itself.
