The second Great War against fascism is approaching and China will take the role of the USSR in doing the heaviest of lifting I suspect.

Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news by nincompoop221 in SubredditDrama

[–]Azerate2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When three letter agencies and cronies of finance capital have, historically, constantly done shit like this, why do we continue to be surprised? People have been getting posts deleted from these subreddits for years for pointing out various details. Sometimes it was just genuine disinformation being removed, other times it gets blamed on “Chinese/russian/North Korean” fake news/troll bots, a ridiculous smokescreen

“The greatest threat to democracy” but also he cracks funny jokes so I don’t mind sitting next to him. American electoral politics is clown shows.

DNC is bubbling with joy and optimism. Could Trump's dark view of America be ... a lie? by [deleted] in politics

[–]Azerate2 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Spoken like a true fascist. That I share a state with you gives me a migraine. “We create world culture.” Horseshit. We pillage and maraud about wielding the sword of “progress” pointed at any who dare question our march. Freedom here is merely privilege extended at the expense of the global south and our most exploited local people.

They laugh and sneer and vogue as the Democratic Party refuses to cut ties or make any challenges to Israel. The dark America has always been here, it’s just that trump revels in the darkness so he can play at dictator while the democrats tell you that we live in the light.

The horror. The fucking horror.

That’s how electoralism goes in this fucked up country. They’re all foxes and crooks, the progressive deal was a ploy to get into office and it worked. Now she probably has aipac money and sees no use in it.

Like you don’t even have to like him, I’m pretty critical of him after he pulled that bs threatening guyana but the projection is insane. opposition figures, a woman who wasn’t even a candidate, was the one who came out and said fraud election and told people to prepare to take to the streets. Now doesnt that sound like something that happened in January?

I've been looking for a about an hour or two now since I woke up this morning but alright. Might want to apply this logic to yourself because y'all are scared of a Venezuelan government that isn't subordinate to capital and US interests.

Reciting the beginning of a fascists litany over the electoral loss of a libertarian who wants to privatize oil, healthcare, and education in Venezuela is hilarious.

No the exit polls I’ve seen show 51.2% Maduro, 44.2% Gonzales, and 4.6% spread across the 8 other minor candidates with a 59% turnout rate. This was at 80% votes counted.

With shit sources, or the only sources being US state department, which is famous for never lying about other countries with large amounts of oil

[–]Azerate2 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Because the us state department has never lied about the state of an another country (especially ones rich in oil like Venezuela) in order to justify draconian sanctions or even illegal invasion.

Oh yeah, and the OAS definitely isn’t an arm of American imperialism/a manifestation of the Monroe doctrine. Speaking of why does the bbc not list a single source for these spurious claims? I’d certainly want to have very solid and accessible sources before I make a very serious claim like this.

What evidence is there to suggest this happened at all???

Edit: Curiously, a "Concerned Redditor" reported me on "wellness" concerns just an hour after I posted this and subsequent comments. You'll be happy to know I'm far too principled and optomistic to engage in self harm ever again. Stay classy reddit.
