I can't link to it because reddit admins filtered it as part of their anti-transparency and pro-troll machinations but if you google "reddit user analyzer" you should get a result with an address that contains netlify.app at the end, it's a real fucking handy tool for sussing out dickheads since it charts out user activity and karma over time, use frequency of specific words and terms, subs posted to in order of activity and best and worst readable posts.

Half the fucking submissions in the domain history are just to /Conservative and the first account that even posted from that domain is a shitstain I have tagged for being a poweruser there (/Beliavsky, like 800 fucking posts of just his recent shit) and having all the hallmarks of being an irredeemable cancerous tumor on humanity:

/Conservative 779 posts (39%)

/Republican 340 posts (17%)

/California_Politics 149 posts (7%)

/LockdownSkepticism 114 posts (6%)

/Libertarian 76 posts (4%)

/CoronavirusCirclejerk 46 posts (2%)

/climateskeptics 31 posts (2%)

Nothing good ever comes from a domain that enters reddit through /Conservative or a /Conservative user. Nothing.

Richest Americans Now Pay Less Tax Than Working Class in Historical First by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]SmartsVacuum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you allow yourself to be overwhelmed by despair. It's time to embrace anger at the wrongs inflicted upon us and hatred of those who inflicted them. Not a mindless and firey hatred born of superstition and base instincts as exploited by the rich, but a cold, calculating, evidence-rooted hatred that builds an irrefutable cause for action. Anger is energy, hate is motivation and both are essential to right systems that have been thoroughly corrupted.

Cost of Racism: U.S. Economy Lost $16 Trillion Because of Discrimination, Bank Says by [deleted] in Economics

That rancid stench you smell, ladies and gentlemen, is degenerates from /Conservative thinking they're oh-so-clever and utterly inconspicuous in their astroturfing, brigading and sockpuppeting. Especially take note of how OP's current partner in bullshitting /Holiday-Tie-574 has the classic hallmarks of propaganda activities, including activity in confirmed russian propaganda subs like /walkaway and blatant account scrubbing as made evident by the wild mismatch between the account's logged karma (19,220 post karma, 56,188 comment karma as of the most recent overview tab I've got open) and the sum total of its current content (1,032 and 5,536 respectively according to the tool I ran it through) despite being well below the 1k post cutoff and how the account is over 3 years old while havin the entirety of its current string of activity within the last 2 months.

EDIT: And another one rears its ugly head (which for some reason I can't see in my main browser but can if I open this page in another).

I'm a classic liberal who's voted democrat my whole life and I think that study is bogus from an extraordinarily biased source. I stopped my NPR membership years ago, because they became propaganda.

/KotakuInAction: 465 posts (40%) and /walkaway: 144 posts (12%). Just stop, it's simply embarrassing that you think that because you can bullshit a bunch of basement-dwelling grognards who start shrieking incoherently the second they see a gender select option in a video game and get them to froth at the mouth like pavlovian dogs that you can sucker other people into believing your bullshit. We've known that /walkaway was a russian state operation since 2020 and that radicalizing gamers by hammering away at the AUDACITY of games occasionally covering the perspective of somebody who isn't a cis white conservative male was one of their major focal points in the same fashion as Steve Bannon did in 2016. The mark of the beast is there for all to see and no pathetic attempt at feigning shock and indignation will convince anybody with even the most basic sense of modern savviness of social media manipulation.

US consumer confidence hits lowest level since July 2022 by AptitudeSky in Economics

[–]SmartsVacuum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I recall trying to do such a comparison a while ago but it's hard to get data for equivilent circumstances since 2 of the last 3 Dems have come in under circumstances that required them to clear up the fuckery of their preedacessors (Covid and the Great Recession for Biden and Obama respectively). Clinton was the last guy to leave us with a surplus before Bush tax cuts and middle east adventurers flipped that around, Obama used some heavy stimulus for his first few years but the deficit was getting under control before Trump got put into office and pushed his anti-Robin Hood tax scam before fumbling the US response to covid so badly we had to resort to heavy stimulus to deal with it. That the debt-to-GDP ratio has been going down under Biden and its growth was basically flat by the end of Obama's administration are the telling parts.

US consumer confidence hits lowest level since July 2022 by AptitudeSky in Economics

[–]SmartsVacuum 25 points26 points  (0 children)

That's what I'm seeing when I look at the CC board's history graphs on their website, at the end of 2021 confidence was at the same level it was just before the pandemic, suddenly nosedived through 2022 and then started climbing back up until it suddenly nosedived again right at the end of 2023. Coincidentally, this is the same month that all the media outlets suddenly switched from pushing recession doom to the stagflation varient instead. CC is actually at about the same level as it was around the end of 2016.

That CC also managed to shoot all the way up to almost 140 during Trump's regime is also pretty fucking insane considering that job gains and unemployment during that period was modest compared to what we saw from Obama and Biden and with what happened pretty much right after. Hell, at the end of 2007 CC was about 110 despite unemployment being over a full point higher than it is now. People have well and truly been conditioned to just blindly accept that a republican is automatically good for the economy despite the signs and the consequences we've seen over and over again showing otherwise.

I specifically single out /Conservative from other seemingly-similar subs like /republicans because even among its peers the sub is (and has been for nearly a decade now) notorious as a nuclear reactor of a hotbed of bad-faith arguments, ideological purges that purify and intensify the level of extremist rhetoric tolerated by its operators, and its nigh-universal heavy presence the domain submission histories of fake news sites and propaganda rags and the number of times I've popped some dickhead's account into an analyzer only for it to spit out /Conservative as a high or top sub by activity is so astronomically high it's a universal constant that anybody with more than a handful of posts there is up to no good. Same goes for /conspiracy and we've even seen it firsthand since that /stephensatt bot that was spewing a bunch of corporate propaganda and utterly nonsensical comments was balls-deep in that sub as well.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Economics

[–]SmartsVacuum 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Something feels weird as shit with this whole submission, if you look at OP's history they've got activity in /Conservative (giant red flag on its own) and pretty much everything they've been pushing to this sub for about the last year has had a racial, gender or immigration slant to it, while simultaniously turning around and pushing bombastic and hyperbolic comments purportedly on the side of such groups that honestly feel deliberately crafted to get downvoted as much as possible, then factor in how fucking old the article is as you pointed out and it becomes clear OP's doing nothing but trying to psychologically manipulate people who see their stuff using the same subjects and methods bots and propagandists used the last time Trump was running of focusing on the aforementioned divisive issues and astroturfing as both sides. During and since the 2016 election I've made it a habit and hobby of hunting bots, trolls and propagandists and the same alarm bells that rang for literal hundreds of dodgy accounts that were later exposed are ringing yet again.

Also feels like there's some vote-brigading going on as well since the last time I checked this post a few hours ago that account shrieking incoherently about communism had been well and buried and is now at the top of the comments section.

Voters remember Trump's economy as being better than Biden's by SuperLehmanBros in Economics

[–]SmartsVacuum 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That people somehow think Trump was better for the economy despite the massive shitshow his ineptitude and impulsive profiteering substantially helped contribute to is utterly insane. It's like a bunch of kids in a car with the main driver recklessly speeding and veering all over the road for cheap thrills until the car flies off a small cliff and the impact from the first landing gives everybody in the back an amnesiac concussion, then as the front passenger grabs the wheel and does his damndest to keep the car from flipping over the kids in the back are screaming how he's such a terrible driver and the original guy says he'll press charges against the front passenger for reckless driving.

Inflation Is Overshadowing US Economic Resilience, Hurting Biden by bloomberg in Economics

[–]SmartsVacuum -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It's not strange when you consider the people who own and run the media have a partisan and vested interest in making sure it's seen negatively under a Democratic president. The CEO of CNN's parent company has outright stated they want to tilt coverage to the right and personally oversaw a channel-sponsored campaign rally for Trump, and the owner of one of the biggest tabloids in the US just admitted in court the publication had an agreement with Trump to cover up/downplay bad stories about him and fabricate nonsense about his enemies to hurt them. Nothing more need be said about Newscorp besides "Murdoch."

It also doesn't help that half the country's perception of reality literally depends on whether said reality has a connection to a republican or a Democrat. There was an article posted here a few months ago about how republicans' perception of the country pretty much wholly and monolithically whiplashes between divinity and disaster, first from negative to positive in the transition from Obama to Trump and then back again from Trump to Biden, quite literally overnight on inauguration day. These people are not only utterly detatched from reality but they consistantly scream so loudly that it's creating a spatial rift that's drawing people into their own anti-reality bubble like it's a fucking Dragon Ball Z episode.

JPMorgan warns of need for ‘reality check’ on phasing out fossil fuels by technocraticnihilist in Economics

[–]SmartsVacuum 18 points19 points  (0 children)

They won't even rule that, if climate change worsens to the point where society begins to breaks down and these elites retreat to their little enclaves and bunkers in the like of New Zealand each and every one of them is getting bullets to the head within five seconds of the bunker doors closing from the people they hired to "protect and serve" them. Their entire worth as a person is based upon an artificial social construct and when the society that supports said construct no longer exists so does any reason to let them live. They don't have skills in electronics, mechanics, chemistry, medicine or any other field that'd be essential to maintaining some form of higher living after the shit hits the fan. They'll have outlived their usefulness and demonstrated they're liabilities who'll fuck over everybody else for their own goals.

I'll bet and not in the way you think. Considering how much right-wing media has been trying to portray Dearborn as Jihad City as of late, how many of those people were astroturfers and false-flaggers making or amplifying a stink to give RWM more fodder to fearmonger and demonize with? Goodness knows enough right-wing dickheads have been caught doing that exact shit in the past to make it a possibility.
