I know most people that were on reddit at the time are fully aware of this and won’t be surprised but don’t dismiss the findings out of hand. It’s important that studies are being conducted and the fact that the finding match our lived experience is still noteworthy.

      Any dissent gets an instant permaban.

      So just like r/conservative? I only commented there once and was instantly permabanned. It was a while ago. Deinately before Trump was president, maybe 2015. Maybe earlier.

      I kinda watched the political climate change drastically since 2015. Statring form Trumps presidency to spreading all over America, Europe and the world. And I wonder where this came from in such masses. Russian efforts and paid propagandists? They can’t be THAT powerful, can they? It is insane and it spreads everywhere. Into every corner of the world. I don’t understand it. People seem to want authoritarian leadership. Have they all lost their minds?

        Not defending Russia, the us wrote the book on election interference. To act like it’s not possible now is insane. American exceptionalism is the biggest hoax. The GOP is now banking on the us letting Putin win. They’ve sold us down the river with fanciful delusion that they will get to rule the ashes and install their Christo-fascist bullshit.
