    “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!

          Eric Trump says “what?!”

          img

          And this after his father would have made 8 times more money by simply leaving it in the bank than all of his variety of hotel and Sharper Image steak sales businesses - he’s literally the only one I’ve ever heard of who managed to lose money running a casino!

          “The system” is what makes wealth, not individual people these days. Obviously not solely, but the above example shows how it is the primary determination factor.

        I’d argue they do have organizational skills and and strength in numbers. Don’t underestimate that.

    So, putting aside the questionable morals of this person. I’m not sure alt right reddit threads are the election swing spot they seem to think.

    I would have been so confused if I was still on reddit. Back then, downvotes were proof you were right and you triggered the woke hive, and upvotes meant you said obvious information, woke opinion or funny not offensive jokes. No upvotes/downvotes meant you said something either really thoughtfull or really boring.

        Lol, wow, i dont even know how stupid you have to be to think that im right-wing from my post. Or maybe you think every left-winger is woke? Which would be even more stupid 🤡

          LMAO, you use “woke” unironically. “Woke” is nothing but a right-wing dog whistle against everything they don’t like, like the LGBTQ+ community

          You can’t be “anti-woke” and left wing at the same time, it’s paradoxical.

            Bruh, you are clearly the king of stupidity… Even a mussel is smarter than you…

            You do realise that woke is how they describe themselves ? Its not the right wing who invented the term, its nonsensical to believe that only right winger use this term as a slang… It became a slang because all woke people are 🤡, they did it themselves, nothing to do with LGBTQ+, race or any political side…

            But let me guess, you are a dumb US citizen, right? You cant be that ignorant and not be from the US…

          Not sure how I am an example. Please explain.

          And I also don’t understand how up and downvotes can form an opinion for you. If that’s all it takes for you to make a decision, then you aren’t being very critical of what you are seeing. Surface level understanding plagues right wing nut jobs like yourself.

    This is the equivalent of not being able to get your crush to like you, so you pay hooker just to tell people you got a girlfriend.

    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?

        I’ve watched asmongold a bit on and off over the years, and I don’t think that he himself is really right wing (unless that changed recently), more just a no-filter, full-on basement dweller but mostly apolitical. Can’t say it’s really surprising if some of the audience has the 4chan vibe though. Never participated/cared about the chat or the subreddit though.

      Come on, dude. This is Reddit, not a vote in parliament. The site’s entire business model revolves around astroturfing.

    buying a bunch of upvotes on a website dominated by bot accounts is a very cost effective way to run an AstroTurf campaign

      “I thought trump was a terrible person, but the updoots be changed my mind”

      Yeah sure. I mean there’s probably at least one or two feeble minded redditors like that but… Not a bunch. Especially if they’re confining themselves to right leaning subs.

    That’s pretty much US politics summed up, isn’t it? Ignore what they people say and throw money into it to get what you want.
