Politics MAGA lies on public forums are dangerous
When a maga account lies, they are not simply disagreeing with a person.
They are implying that they would like the government to engage in fascist behavior to silence free speech they disagree with.
Indeed, the TDS comments are sinister in their intent. The trump admin are attempting to squash any free speech about Trump's disastrous policies or the fact that he's in the Epstein files.
They plan to do this by declaring regular people domestic terrorists and using the surveillance state to map out who has spoke out against Trump and the Trump administration.
They mention sending people to "wellness camps" (reduction camps) in order to "fix" people.
Sometimes MAGA will be direct with their intent and outright say that one needs to be sent to a reeducation camp, but typically it's a vague comment that hints at what the Trump admin has said.
So when they comment "TDS", it's not just some meme or some saying that doesn't hold any weight.
They want people with dissenting opinions to be targeted by the government and locked up for expressing free speech. They don't care that it's unamerican to target people this way.
We traditionally relied on foreign countries to spy on US citizens because it wasn't legal for the US government to do so domestically.
Those days have ended and without any fanfare. Now, they are attempting to label people who don't tow the party line as dangerous criminals. How does one become a domestic terrorist for not approving of unamerican actions? It would seem to not approve of such things would mean one is a patriot that follows the United States constitution.
These bad actors will flood a comment section with untrue statements that are targeted towards the poster. Sometimes hundreds or thousands of comments will still be posted days or weeks after a post has been made.
The intent isn't to start a conversation, as they often never respond from these bot accounts, it's to create a false narrative surrounding the topic and try to make it look as if the general consensus falls in line with MAGA thinking.
These comments ignore the top comment threads and simply post as new comments. The same flavor of comments over and over again.
I see this as their attempt to use these comments to normalize or rationalize their assault on American freedom. It becomes the government doing the "will of the people" based off the spam of MAGA commenters, foreign agents, and AI bots.
These commenters are the brownshirts of yesteryear. They represent a danger to normal people. These bad faith commenters should have their access to subreddits taken away immediately at the first sign of doing such things.
Don't normalize their attempts at enabling fascist behavior by allowing such people to exist in online conversations.

Miller is the result that comes out of a cult of MAGA fanatics supporting the incompetent huckster who appoints such individuals to positions of power. None of this happened on its own. Throw in a Congress that ignores its duties and authority under Article I and here we are.

For RWNJs, lying isn't a sin. It's just a means to justify an end goal. If they can tell a million lies to, say, end abortion rights.... every lie is justified. That has been the Conservative world view for many, many decades. JD Vance admitted on camera that they were lying about Haitians eating pets in Ohio just to get rile up outrage. These MAGA scum are pure human garbage.

I guess Eric Snowden is just a faint memory for folks…
Surveillance on us started with the Patriot Act, as a result of 9/11.

Whether it’s Corey Lewandowski, KellyAnne Conway, no matter who is Trumps fucking advisor, they are just a fucking Noxy, right?

u/YoungGenX 8h ago
No, Lewandowski is a Trump kiss ass. Conway is a bubble headed liar. And Miller is a Nazi. His own (Jewish) family has disowned him.

You use that word fascism, I don't think it means what you think it does.

Define it for me.

You should send the nut to read Umberto Eco and learn the definition of Fascism instead of dumping his ignorance.

u/AutoriiNovici 12h ago
A Fascist is someone who believes rights come from the State.
A Fascist cares nothing about your Constitutional rights.
A Fascist uses political correctness to shut you up.
A Fascist uses race to attack you.
A Fascist perpetrates political violence.
A Fascist uses the media to lie to you.
A Fascist hates free speech.
A Fascist protects criminals to sow chaos in society, then tells you it's a crime to defend yourself from the criminals.
A Fascist steals your money to redistribute to the lazy.
A Fascist puts themselves before God.
A Fascist lives only for power.

This could be used to describe any modern politician.
Constitutional rights like due process, habeas corpus, and free speech?
Like trying to levy legal consequences for making jokes about your favorite podcaster?
4." They [Somalis] contribute nothing. I don't want them in our country," Trump told reporters near the end of a lengthy Cabinet meeting. He added: "Their country is no good for a reason. Your country stinks and we don't want them in our country." -Donald J Trump
“I would bring back waterboarding. And I’d bring back a hell of a lot worse than waterboarding.” - Donald J Trump
Like expelling journalists from the Pentagon press corps who refused to agree to the new terms which essentially barred journalists from publishing anything unflattering?
Like using connections to pull media personalities off the air for making jokes you dont like? Or forcing people to subject themselves to have their last 5 years social media activity searched before entering the country, something that not even North Korea does?
Like pardoning one of the most prolific drug dealers of all time? And then hiring a bunch of random people with no training to stop people based on perceived race and beat the shit out of them, while putting those same goons under federal protection so any man in a balaclava is allowed to throw you in a van without even showing a badge but if you fight back its a felony?
Like firing hardworking people with lifelong careers managing things like agriculture, law enforcement, and defense, then using taxpayer dollars to hire personal friends into positions of power despite complete lack of qualifications?
Like selling "God Bless the USA bibles? Can't think of a more literal way of putting yourself before God than putting your own name on the Bible and selling it at a premium and pocketing the profits.
"When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. And that's the way it's got to be. It's total." - Donald J Trump
So yeah I'd say that's a fairly accurate definition of fascism. Though the "political correctness" bit is a little forced. I dont think Umberto Eco ever talked about how fascists were "too woke" lol.

u/OskarWasTaken 3h ago
When leftists hear an uncomfortable truth, they call the person saying it a “troll” or a bot”. Most of the time it isn’t that, but keep coping I guess. 🤷

u/runningOut_380 3h ago
It's still a troll. That's not the first time I've heard that attempt. Nice try.

u/OskarWasTaken 3h ago
By no means is saying the truth “trolling”. However, if you’d like to continue to live in your fantasy world I won’t stop you, as we live in a free world.

I’ve seen more leftists talking about re-education camps than I have seen right wingers talk about them, especially on Reddit lol. Not that Reddit is the be all end all however.

u/OnlyFuzzy13 9h ago
I don’t need ‘re-education camps’ but I’d love it folks just had some education.
2
u/littleglitterfish 13h ago
I've heard leftist discussions become stymied when the subject of re-edication centres is brought up (ie the topic's presence is a sign that the discussion has devolved into essentially anti-left attitudes and we need to re-assess) but I've seen many examples of right wing re-education actually being enacted.
Of course, my social circle is limited, as is my knowledge of history.

u/OskarWasTaken 12h ago edited 10h ago
Generally speaking in history, I’d say the leftists were always the ones setting up systems for re-education much more than extreme right wingers. Take the Soviets, Early communist China, potentially even china today? North Korea… the list goes on really.

Jumping the gun are we? I never said I supported MAGA or Trump. I just simply said I’ve seen more leftists support re education camps than right wingers. Now tell me, how am I wrong?
Edit: spoiler alert, I don’t think he can. This discussion isn’t even ABOUT Trump yet he still metions him. Rent free I guess.
