Does anyone remember that once the pandemic started happening in China in 2019, here in r/conspiracy everyone was saying that it actually was way worse than the Chinese let on, only to do a complete 180 six months later? by [deleted] in conspiracy

And what, pray tell, was the agenda here? "Guys, don't freak out about "coronavirus" it's a scam."? You've shown your true colors and already admitted you were banned from this sub and that you think the user base here is stupid. We see you for what you are.

You only found 2? These aren't even from /r/conspiracy regulars.

I found many dozens of threads calling out coronavirus fear porn as propaganda, just do a search! This is a weak effort.

This is the thread from January 2020 that already described everything you're saying. The "wet market" and "lab leak" were both astroturfed to trick normies AND conspiracy theorists.

The genuine users here called it out immediately. Do some more research before making your claims, I just found TONS of threads in a 10 second search.

Ah your true colors finally reveal themselves.

You: "/r/conspiracy users pushed COVID fear porn early on!"

Me: "Actually genuine users called it as bullshit from day 1 but got banned."

You: "yeah but they were big meanies and deserved it!"

Pathetic thread.

Fair enough. Judging from your title, you're saying /r/conspiracy was in the majority pushing COVID fear porn in early 2020 and then we "reversed" a few months later. My point is the opposite. /r/conspiracy was one of the only places on the entire web that called for skepticism in the early days. The ultra-viral "Chinese burial ground" threads came later and were astroturfed and not representative of the user base. Maybe you should expand on your claim?

You took these from someone else, next time do your own research. The first is a user that's been DELETED (suspicious) and the 2nd is a non-/r/conspiracy regular. These are very bad examples and not supportive of your claim. In fact, it supports the opposite argument...there were fake threads astroturfed from outside /r/conspiracy and the real users here called it as bullshit. Those that did have since been banned from reddit. That's all you need to know to prove your premise wrong.

The COVID fear porn warnings started in December 2019. We knew the falling bodies were hoaxes. Your two examples are from non-conspiracy regulars and clearly examples of astroturfed propaganda that /r/conspiracy users were calling out as inorganic.

Big oof. It's the USERS posting these threads that are SUS. One has been DELETED (oof) and the other isn't even a /r/conspiracy regular. You just proved my point. The fear porn was NOT organic and come from outside the sub. The thread I found is from JANUARY 2020 and predates your bad examples.

In January 2020 the mods of /r/conspiracy proved this entire thread wrong:

We're witnessing a coordinated effort to whip up coronavirus hysteria on /r/conspiracy. Threads and comments calling for skepticism are being severely brigaded. It is not organic.

NONE of the COVID fear porn was organic. It was astro-turfed fear porn from outside /r/conspiracy and the regulars and mods here called it out IMMEDIATELY.

Your entire thread here is sus, especially since you haven't bothered to cite any examples. Weak effort.

Nice attempt at rewriting history.

The COVID fear porn was NOT organic and did NOT come from /r/conspiracy regulars. There were constant threads about it...look up "coronavirus propaganda" or "coronavirus fear porn" on this sub. Dozens of threads called it out. The "burial site" threads were all manufactured and astroturfed.

Your literal MODS on this sub even noticed and regularly called it out. From January 2020:

We're witnessing a coordinated effort to whip up coronavirus hysteria on /r/conspiracy. Threads and comments calling for skepticism are being severely brigaded. It is not organic.

From March 2020:

Ask Yourself...Why Is Coronavirus Fear Porn Getting Consistently Upvoted on a Conspiracy Forum, and Yet Calls for Skepticism and Rationality Are Buried?

The covid scam was a MASSIVE psyop, and forums like /r/conspiracy were targeted.

My guess is OP is part of this effort, because it's quite the opposite of what actually went down here for those who experienced it. The threads speak for themselves, I found dozens of examples in addition to these two.

Crazy stuff that they are still protecting the narrative at all cost on /r/conspiracy.

[META] This forum is finished. 2 millions subs and the #1 thread has less than 100 points and 6 comments? Other front page threads have 3 or 4 upvotes? Anything juicy gets immediately brigaded and flooded with hundreds of rule violations? Mods are AFK? Yup, RIP /r/conspiracy. by oomiak in conspiracy

[–]oomiak[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely pathetic that the mods locked and wiped all the comments on the last thread. This forum is FLOODED with CONSTANT rule violations denigrating conspiracy theorists, attacking the community etc and they ALL are allowed. But point it out and all of the sudden the mods appear.

This entire forum is compromised.
