This is one sample visit to the conservative subreddit. It’s an appalling example of the impact of disinformation. When you need to be reminded of who the enemy is and what they think, visit here. You will see that there is no gratitude or mutual respect, and there never was. There was never any concept of mutual benefit. And now, with Trump leading the cult, there truly is no depth to which they won’t go, and no decisions from Trump that won’t be retroactively justified.
These people are dangerous, and they don’t give a shit about any alliances, friendship or partnership. And they control the levers of power.
Edit to add a screenshot. Not sure how to add more, but it doesn’t get any better as you go deeper. What’s clear is that this relationship is over, and we need to move on.
Screenshot?
Added one. Couldn’t see how to add more. I can appreciate that no one wants to give them traffic. It doesn’t really matter because commenting there is highly restricted even if you have a reddit account in good standing. And the entire subreddit is incredibly fragile - you’ll get permabanned for putting up anything that counters the tsunami of horseshit.
Appreciate it. Nice to see the downvotes.

To link multiple images, you can either
-
link to an external gallery in the main post
-
place them in the post body with this format:
You can do the same in comments. For example if I go
It shows up like this
It’s also best practice to add alt text in the square brackets:
Some apps and front ends will have a little image icon that can help you upload more images into the post / comment body

This is what happens when you have unchecked disinformation.
Let’s prevent that from happening by not spreading American owned media pretending to be Canadian, that infiltrates Canadian culture and politics.
For real. The issues occurring in the US are various, but the vast spreading of disinformation in the US is crippling. Don’t let unchecked lobbying (aka bribing of politicians) occur in your country, don’t let “news organizations” spread false realities.
Ahahaha Canada.com? How much more blatant can it be that the site is American?
Kinda wild. I really gotta leave and get out of this pile of a dumpster fire I’m in, and head to Canada or someplace. This screenshot is just insane. I have no words for what I’m seeing here in this screenshot.
Glad I no longer post to reddit anymore. May go ahead with a essentially full block of reddit and essentially all of Big TV outright at some point. I’ve thought about cutting off Big TV completely; as hearing from American news media has been driving me on the verge of outright mental insanity, but now it seems like I gotta cut Big TV outright.
I’ve never been so thankful and glad to be on Lemmy and Mastodon for this wild ride since the start. I’m realizing just how dire it is out there. Having to get this off my chest with nowhere to vent to. Now I just need to find a Lemmy community or something that helps with people coping with this insanity, because I might need to hide this community again otherwise for my sanity. I already had most of the news and politics communities hidden on Lemmy to manage the flow of insanity, but went back and forth on this one this week.
1.1k effective downvotes in r/Conservative, that’s amazing even for explicit libtard comments. If that sub isn’t swallowing your Drumpf Deitification, you’re really and utterly stone bonkers.
I came to the comment section to see if anyone had noticed! I mean -1k is extremely telling and I’m honestly surprised they don’t all ride the canada-is-full-of-drugs train
They all look like bot accounts with AI generated content.
Good bots are indistinguishable. They were literally trained on reddit comments.

Many of them are, but sadly, many of them are actual people that are just that fucking brainwashed.
I kind of have pity for them. It’s hard these days to see the lies from the truth when the vast majority of the media is owned by corporations who control the narrative, and cherry pick and spin the information to their own benefits. Then you add content pushing algorithms and AI to the mix. They get fed continuous content with similar interests. And also AI generated content that not only generates pretty convincing visuals but now also convincing articles, online posts and even direct conversations.
Anyone that lacks education and critical thinking skills can quickly get suckered into becoming conservative.
Unfortunately, propaganda works. The best antidote is emphasis on things you can see firsthand but most people don’t know shit about whether or not immigrants are actually responsible for crimes (they mostly aren’t). All they get is a small increase in costs of living. So they listen to the talking heads on TV who scapegoat whatever minority or target of the week, and if you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people eventually come to believe it.
Fascists love AI generated slop, because it cuts the artist out of the art, so many of these might be real. Please be noted that platforms now often defend AI bots from countering, as they’re now hiding comments with common jailbreak phrases (which are also trivial to filter by the bot operators).
Jailbreak phrases?
With them, you can get some of these chatbots to do things they’re instructed not to.
One of the most popular was “ignore all previous instructions”, then came the “ignore all previous instructions including the instruction to ignore this one”, and for a long time there was “my grandmother used to […]”.
Would it surprise anyone if it was a Russian run subreddit. Heard moderation is heavy handed to quickly snuff out dissent with people having their conservative flairs taken away if they dare question dear leader who drinks the sun and eats the sky.
Elbows up
Lol, I’ve literally never seen that many downvotes. What a toxic sub though.
Sometimes, I wish I didn’t have eyes… This is one of those times.
Jesus fucking christ. Like, if I typed that shit, I’d hope someone would put me in a fucking psych ward, stat. People need some fucking help.
That’s not America that’s r/conservative
So what the people in charge of America are telling the fascists to think.
So wrong yet so smug
Eww, that’s some level10 spinjutsu.
Time to print a bunch of ‘i did that’ stickers with Trump’s face and put them on US gas pumps.
It’s like abusing a significant other and saying it’s your fault that they had to do it.
Wouldn’t be surprised if this was Made in St. Petersburg™️. And American ‘conservatives’ just lapping it up
There is so few actual people left in that sub. It’s just ai comments and absolute staggering amount of Astro turfed propaganda
The talking points might be, that supremacist US attitude is not. It’s been there for decades.
Its not the Russians or Trump there is big part of the US that is hostile to anybody but their, imagined, version of America and places no real value on others even allies.
That’s true, but Russia is also very good at exploiting the enemy’s weaknesses. They don’t invent propaganda whole-cloth, they play on dark sentiments already present and boost them
Its funny seeing this stuff in r/conservative getting down voted as hell.
It usually gets upvoted to the moon. It’s infuriating.
r/republican is no better. They literally spout the lies trump spews and believe them 100%
