Ive had people on lemmy and other communities tell me the r/fuckluigimangione sub is satire but after checking its posts out since it was made and circling back to it now i am 100% convinced it is not.

The auto mod responses alone as well as the concerted effort to manipulate the narrative tell you all you need to know. For instance anytime you say his name there is a ridiculous anti L-M response, or if you say brian thompson (yuck) the automated response is just pure corpo ball gargling. If you ask if the sub is satire there is a specific automod response that explains in definitive English that the sub is 100% not satirical.

Also they are trying to spread the narrative that mangione is an alt right trump supporting racist anti trans (because supposedly brian Thompson left a legacy of promoting trans health care (you cant make this shit up)) incel? Satire should at least be so absurd its funny however this sub is just so obviously a smear campaign and pro corporate boot licking effort unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Go check it out for yourself. It would be a shame if a bunch of people who have brains and understand whats going on in the world just bombed the shit out of their gross billionaire ball gargling bukkake fest.

    That’s always the way these bullshit fake grass roots subreddits start out. “It’s just a parody” was also the excuse for The_Donald, which they eventually had to ban from reddit, which just ended up meaning the userbase just made r/conservative that.

    On a personal rant, I will always point to that before there were “bots” and sockpuppet accounts, there was and continues to be Eve Online multiboxing and alts, and if you ever wanted to study the way psychopaths behave that Eve Online is the MMO to follow. Where do people think that the psychopaths the were attracted to it because it allowed them to take the mask off and gained experience at being psychopaths from it, that used it gain proficiency, ended up doing in the real world? To further the context, in the gaming controversy Elon Musk had with asmongold, Musk basically tried to argue that hiring someone to play a game was as normal as asmongold hiring editors while still being considered a gamer, and this sort of argument would basically only pass mustard in one game - Eve Online. It is basically the Steam of psychopaths - not everyone playing it is, but psychopaths flock to it and are even born from it. And they love to create and stimulate fake grass root movements using alts and bots. r/conservative? Literally shares mods with r/eve.
