I don’t read r/conservative much but what I’ve seen is they keep banning actual conservatives because they correctly call out what Trump is doing on things where it’s not about left and right but right and wrong.
Some people are saying that it could be coincidental. OP asks why would the two accounts who post so regularly just happen to both stop at the same time on that day.
what would lenin do?
continue to rot.
what’s wrong with vladimir lenin, and his ideas of democratic centralism (open debate with unanimous voting) and a vanguard party?
Isn’t Lenin famously not rotting with how much his body has been preserved? You can still go see it on display in his mausoleum.
What would Stalin do?
Get drunk?
It’s probably happeneing here on Lemmy, too. Granted, I can be abrasive, but the lovely mods here delete my posts almost every time I engage with a fucking stinking Yuri bot.
It’s definitely happening. /c/conservative on most instances is just farmed posts.
not on lemmy.world AND I did my part.
https://lemmy.world/post/33388933?scrollToComments=true
I also made two of the bots delete their accounts
It’s worse here. At least r/conservative is just bots. There are plenty of idiots here who proudly spew Russian propaganda
you could try being slightly less aggro and racist if you don’t want your posts getting deleted
If that were the case, I’d still be on Reddit.
I may be aggro, but I’m not a racist. I just loathe anyone like you who works for Pootin, or for Donny 2 Inches. Being polite to those makes as much sense as being polite to a cockroach.
cockroach.
oh damn this just popped offI despise both Putin and trump, but you’re also gross
I dunno if you can hear me up there on your moral high ground, but shut up.
Oh man, I bet these tanky memes kill so hard with the right crowd. The cat throwing the book on settlers, that’s like all the cutest weirdo dog whistles.
identifying j sakai as a tankie really says more about you than anyone else tbh
I would expect and hope that all ruzzian orcs think so, Olga-the-Stalker-Orc !
I feel like your claim, that Russia is of one distinct race of people, is the real racism, here.
Either way, tolerance ends with the intolerant. The Russia people have had plenty of chances to prevent Putin from gaining power and waging war, and they did nothing, so fuck em.
Well that’s a shitty attitude. The average Russian has as much power as … yeah … pretty much nothing. Like all of us who aren’t ultra rich in every country in the world. Doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try, but that’s a different matter.
People with no power tore the USSR apart, toppled monarchies across Europe, ended the company stores and brought civil rights in the USA.
The only real reason is that they don’t actually mind all that much or they think it can be fixed somehow.
For every victim in Russia there are two or three perpetrators.
The USSR was torn apart by Yeltsin and co, with US backing. Putin was America’s guy because he had the best shot against the communists simply winning reelection.
I seriously doubt the average Russian can do fuck all about getting Putin out of power.
Fuck are you talking about. Thats like saying every American is responsible for Trump, or your mum produced all assholes rather than just you.
As an American, every American is responsible for Trump, that’s kinda how it works. That’s how the world sees it, and that’s how you should understand it.
So you got out and vote against Trump, you canvass for his opponents, you attend marches against him, and you educate others of the risks of trump.
Yet you’d still be responsible for him. Thats some wacky logic there lad.
I am absolutely not responsible for that piece of shit.
Lool
That ain’t racist. That’s just the truth.
- What rednecks in the south say about the blacks
Idiots defending Russia, and the South…
I’m not defending Russia or the south. But going “it’s not racist if it’s true” is what hillbillies say after they make a racist statement about black people.
“He was gonna steal it until I said something” “Thats deeply racist.” “It’s not racist if it’s true!”
Lmao, calling this nazi is not only unhinged, it’s fucking hilarious.
ML user trying not to be cringe when Russia or China comes up challenge failed. You used to hold less water for those weirdos, the propoganda is actually changing you.
the comments were moderated on .world, not .ml idk why you’re making it about that.
anyway the guy just essentially called me a cockroach, or at least he thinks of me as one. that’s why he sounds fashy as fuck
lol rusnya
You are becoming just as much of a call-outable .ml weirdo as any of the top users. It’s both obvious and sad.
At a certain point doesn’t the word nazi just lose all meaning when you use it when your feefees get hurt. You’re seeing fascists and Nazis every where you look, it’s becoming the word you use when you disagree, it’s fucking cringe.
Like seriously, it’s weird.
the guy calls everyone he disagrees with Russian, and cockroaches, I don’t think you’re in any position to complain about me identifying what I see him as in return.
At a certain point doesn’t the word nazi just lose all meaning when you use it when your feefees get hurt.
for me it’s generally reserved for the people who absolutely revel in dehumanizing other humans.
I would expect and hope that every ruzzian orc thinks so, Olga-the-creepy-Stalking-orc!
Damn bro pulled up with the receipts and everything.
Yeah, and the mods deleted it.
I despise anyone who would try to stick up for Dumbass Donnie And Puny Pootin.
Dumbass Donnie And Puny Pootin.
are you trying to get me to cringe to death jfc lmao
I think they’re both criminals that Lenin would have shot, idk why you think the childlike names are a cutting insult
you’re acting like me saying this shit from oop doesn’t add up is proof that I’m in league with them.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land, the common clay of the new West.
Trump thinks nicknames are worthy, because he thinks it hurts feelings (don’t forget, his development fully arrested around the 4th grade), which means it would also hurt his feelings if he was called names.
And I love to see his feelings hurt. He should never live a day of peace in life, in which he isn’t constantly worrying and fighting about how much literally everyone he knows, and doesn’t know, despises and disrespects him.
My preferred name for him is HitlerPig, ever since I heard that was the name the younger staffers in the Biden White House called him.
it would also hurt his feelings if he was called names.
Okay, but you’re tilting at windmills. These people are never going to hear your voice nor see your words, and I doubt they’d be hurt by some rando who means nothing to them calling them names.
I think most people find the nicknames tiresome and I personally think less of anyone I see writing stupid shit like that. Could be a psyop to discredit Trump detractors by making them seem ridiculous with all the dumb name calling. Outside of a particular bubble you never see that shit.
Fuck yo couch
Calm down Mr Vance
absolutely not
It’s direct from the Russian playbook: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_generation_warfare
This explains why they sent a bunch of rust bucket soviet tanks into ukraine. It seemed to have the opposite effect when they got blown up though. This feels like a deeply risky strategy with the risk being a mix of blowback and rallying your enemies.
blowback and rallying your enemies.
imo exactly what’s happened with russia… pre-full-scale invasion nobody gave a shit about russia… even crimea tbh people were mostly indifferent
now? i dont know anyone real that doesn’t think the whole country can go to hell, and that russia always lies
the standard reaction to hearing about undersea cables being cut is: fuck russia; we should bomb their fucking ships those absolute cunts - even if we have no idea if it’s russia or not!
win or lose in ukraine, russia has lost so much - at least for the short-term
The plan doesn’t account for one universal law: Russians always lie and steal.
In this case the people in charge of psyops in Ukraine pocketed the budget and just sent “yep, all good” reports upstream.
On the other hand, things are working really well on social media. Go on any TikTok video about the Ukraine war or about EU internal politics and within 1-2 minutes you have people arguing with VERY specific talking points and have 50+ likes.
And you can see when they escalate the basic talking points to Tier 2 Arguers, I had one guy claiming to be Irish know very very very specific things about some EU investigation that happened in Ukraine around 2012. Stuff that NOBODY cares about unless you’re a hardcore Russia fan, a Russian disinfo bot or in a very specific place on the spectrum.
Obviously by agitprop, Putin wants to be the first to win the new Cold War without even firing a single shot.
It may be working in the short term but in the medium term MAGA may be imploding as real people get their faces eaten by leopards and become disillusioned with the movement.
Also it’s a cult of personality meaning it requires active maintenance by the leader, meanwhile Trump is actively melting and may not even have enough of a personality to count eventually.
Reminds me of an old soviet joke:
Q: Now that Stalin has died, what happened to his cult of personality?
A: The personality has died, that is true, but the cult lives on.While that may be true there is a near universal fact I have observed with cults. When the original leader dies they bleed manpower well that or they fracture like a khaganate, though that can be stopped with sufficiently competent successors, I greatly doubt anyone can hold this particular mess together.
I think Trump’s main leverage was the Epstein files and the people that thought they would be “exposed” for associating with him. Trump learned from Roy Cohn (there’s someone to read up on… the guy was an absolute POS) to lean into people that were a bit dirty and use their shame (something Trump has almost none of) to control them. Couch Fucker Vance has squat and if Trump croaks or falls totally apart, the House and Senate are going to eat him alive once he assumes the Presidency…
A bomb only explodes for a few miliseconds. The problem is the damage it does persists.
This case it’s a dirty bomb.
That doesn’t mean much. It just means the next snake oil salesman that appeals to their base emotions will win their dumb hearts.
Regular, factual and continued education is the only way out of this mess. Note the present dismantlement of said Department.
China’s way ahead.
I hear there was a power outage in Zhenjiang and everyone I didn’t like on the Internet disappeared
Nice try Xi.
Indeed. They have our infrastructure by the balls. As soon as we try and stop them from taking Taiwan, if that even happens, we will stop having water power and gas in short order.
After 8 hours without water hospitals stop working. Think about that for a minute.
Wait what
In what way does China control the infrastructure? That’s concerning
Is it like, they make the software and can killswitch it?
So, water and power infrastructure use shitty old industrial control systems, are most if not all are on the Internet, run at a financial deficit, and are generally not well maintained. They don’t have the time, funding, manpower or knowledge to decrease their attack surface nor to operate manually rather than via the junk ICS they’re using.
They (volt typhoon) practiced in mennasotas infrastructure and iirc sat in there 300 days and they had full control. They’re using several novel attack vectors, have as of August, built a presence in police, fire, hospital, electric, power, and gas infrastructure.

https://cybersecuritynews.com/amazon-catches-north-korean-it-worker/
https://www.cisa.gov/news-events/cybersecurity-advisories/aa25-343a
The gun is loaded. They’re still working for more complete control. The timeline is 2027ish, or whenever China attacks Taiwan and the US steps up.
The attack is expected to be everywhere at once, that way neighboring towns won’t be able to give aid because emergency services will be overwhelmed. Mutual aid agreements will fall apart.
Did you know that hospitals stop functioning entirely when water is cut for 8h? A hospital COULD function with water trucks, but not in the case of concurrent attacks.
CISA lost 1000 of it 3300 staff, and they were overtaxed before.
It’s bad. Get a lifestraw or Sawyer mini.
I’ve not even touched on salt typhoons pwnage of telecom and network infrastructure.
Get a Meshtastic radio and a couple handhelds. Baofeng makes very approachable stuff.
The US military is self sufficient, but neither they nor the nat’l guard are equipped to help with this kind of attack.
I can’t really share much more right now but there are plenty of reputable sources available online for all this. Just don’t start googling before bed. Do yourself a favor.
Would this be dangerous for China to do? It IS a war crime to deprive most of a nation of water.
But would China actually be in real danger, or would the UN just yell at them and do nothing?? Or would there be a war against China?
That’s a real good question, one to which I don’t have an answer.
It seems to me like there would be a great deal of risk for them to do that.
But then, why are they making so much effort to position themselves to shut off water, power, and gas?
Maybe they’ll use it as a prelude to an outright attack? It’s hard to know for sure. This seems like at least part of their motivation: https://www.msn.com/en-us/politics/international-relations/xi-and-putin-s-taiwan-invasion-files-leaked-full-scale-2027-plan-confirmed/vi-AA1SB2cc
But surely they have some secrets.
That does make me wonder what China’s outcome of that would be. At this point, the US has alienated so many allies, I have to wonder if we’d still have their full backing or if it would be conditional on tariffs.
Edit: Just saw this in a chat: https://www.scmp.com/news/china/military/article/3337652/chinese-military-simulated-battles-near-mexico-cuba-and-taiwan-cctv-report-shows
The US is in a precarious international situation here
Some countries would side with the US, and some would oppose China but not side with the US
Not surprising lol
Everyone who isn’t a current /r/conservative user already knows this.
Removing the conservatives who dissent might backfire on them bc they might end up thinking they’re not considered “conservative” anymore and find other ppl to hang out with. And the reddit shillbot page will just be talking to itself. One can hope
Honestly, it probably is 70% bots and illegitimate posters at this point. Doesn’t matter though, if they still browse r/conservative while banned they’re getting fed from the teet of the outrage machine.
That’s depressing
I wonder if r/arrestputin on Reddit or c/arrestputin here in Lemmy has any creditable information about this.
what would trotsky do?
Take an axe to the head
i mean what would trotsky do if he comes across any counterrevolutionaries who are operating from different countries, as if there’s operating domestically? would he do exactly what lenin does (because he worked with him for a little while)?
Unwittingly work for the CIA?
I remember when Russia cut itself off from the internet for like 3 days, and virtually every social media site I frequented was a lot calmer and nicer for those days. It was surreal seeing how fucking much of the internet is just Russia.
Not only that, but these two users post with the same pattern: 4-5 posts in a burst and then staying quiet.
Makes you just want to build a script that tracks and analyze these accounts but I would feel to totalitarian doing that. I just block them.
That’s why reddit made its API access exorbitantly expensive.
That’s not totalitarian, it’s just journalism
thats just conservative media as a whole its a psyop to make people not pay attention to real issues by distracting gullible people by making them believe silly conservative ideas that ultimately end up biting them in the ass later. Its just business to these outlets and influencers, theyre paid by how good they are at painting a picture even if it isnt backed up at all by reality.
Mmm I wonder what that means 🤔
Conservative_memes is full of indians posting about American politics. You used to be able to see posting history until reddit wanted to protect the spammers
I assume by Indians you mean Russians. It is all known than Russia is the country behind all of this
India and russia are pretty close, for whatever reason, I’ve had some distant family move to russia, and they talk about it how immigrants talk about america here? Like an opportunity.
Russian ppl themselves seem like any other ppl in any other country?
Indeed, all foreigners are actually Russian
Even the Russian bots are outsourcing to India.
Could be Russians also spamming Indian subreddits.
I wrote a post about it on Reddit calling it out, and it got taken down. My investigation was finding a dozen posters who posted a lot of “libtard”-esque posts with Biden or Kamala in conservative_memes, and then having lots of posts on like Bollywood, Indian food, and Indian politic subreddits.
Yeah, it would have to be Russians: only Russians are capable of being evil
Nobody cares, seriously. America has fascist problem, projecting it on russia doesnt make sense
You are aware that russian information warfare campaigns are an actual thing, right? Like yeah. Blaming it on russia is bad. But it’s still good to know the degree, how much they’re doing it, etc
Yeah sure, I was just addressing the way some people in comments blaming all fascism in usa on russia.
Speak for yourself. Russia is directly involved in the current disaster that is the U.S. government. Meddling with and destabilizing their enemies has been their primary tactic for decades.
Who is saying this? An american. Got it
America’s fascist problem is directly created, funded, and supported by Russia
As if america isnt fascist since its inception. Keep your head buried in sand instead of addressing the issue.
