Whose making fun of them? Leftist aren’t anywhere on any platforms of any significance anymore. They can get away with whatever they like because the average person isn’t even aware who any of these people are. Let alone the dumb stuff they say. It’s not the Republicans or right wings job to spread awareness of their fuck ups. It’s the job of people on the left. But people on the left choose to remove themselves from majority of social media sites. I don’t even know what’s the point of sharing this here. Like everyday are we just going to say “oh Jesus they’re crazy” this stuff should be all over Facebook and Reddit and x and truth social. Not just on one Lemmy instance seen by 6000 people
Ooooor the fact that the people that own those platforms are also giant right wing pieces of shit have tweaked their algorithms to suppress any leftist posts might have something to do with it as well - kinda like how ICE raid videos are de-ranked on TikTok making people get around it by labeling them as “music festivals”
Right, that’s what I’m saying. Bots targeted leftist and scared them away. That let their views spread rapidly. Now we all have to listen to the bots everywhere because the average voter now has adopted those same views as the bots. It’s only getting worse. We all did it. We took short term advantage over long term pains
Bots have been used for at least a decade. Before bots it was marketing PR teams who hired college kids to run multiple accounts. It’s always been bots. You and all other leftist were tricked
And these bots are also walking around in real life? Because the shitty people who drove me off are actual people who I actually know in the actual world.
Yes. Think how it works. Humans, all of us have a very obvious fault in our system if you think about it for a minute. We are social animals. That’s our super power and our downfall. I can 100% manipulate and convince you something is real through repetition. Unless you’re an outlier like maybe you are on the spectrum and have difficulty with social norms. But the average person will change when the see a message repeated over and over a long period of time.
This is a pipeline from rich special interests -> think tanks -> political consultants -> marketing groups -> bot farms -> Internet users -> semi_hemi_demigid co-workers
The bot farms push ideas like “leftist radicals did X” and they hammer the message on all platforms. Hell go onto the Whitehouse website to see this message plastered everywhere. It doesn’t matter if you think it’s a dumb a message. It’ll propagate regardless. The only thing that matters is numbers. Think about this message cause I know we all seen it over and over again “I won’t wrestle with pigs”. We were all convinced to be so annoyed we deleted all our digital accounts and gave the right wing groups red carpet access to the eyes and ears of the causal voting population.
No it isn’t. The point isn’t that they themselves need to know too. It’s the voters that need to know. The people who come online to view cats after a hard day of PowerPoint and shoveling dirt. They get a small window to see this stuff. They almost always see something about some purple hair crazy leftist yelling about how they hate people who shovel dirt or use PowerPoint.
I thought you were saying the media is making fun of right ring wingers. The media is placating Trump. Just like how journalists are asking soft back questions.

The left suppressed themselves. Algorithms can only do so much. Quantity was required and we all didn’t bother. It was too much work.
You’re welcome to repost it to any of those sites. I just made it 5 min ago.
I removed myself from those sites because people there are boring, insufferable idiots. At least the insufferable idiots here are funny.

Pretty sure it wasn’t bots that chased me off but the infinite stupidity of collective humanity
It was bots that set a tone and pushed arguments that people adopted and used against you
No, they were cunts since well before the bots came around

The media they consume is telling them they’re being made fun of.
No it isn’t. The point isn’t that they themselves need to know too. It’s the voters that need to know. The people who come online to view cats after a hard day of PowerPoint and shoveling dirt.

I feel like these are two separate things.
Edit: Or they’re the exact same thing. Seriously, you’re giving examples of exactly what I’m saying.
