New account but I've been using burner accounts and lurking since the sub got banned. I've been seeing all the standard liberal brainworms again for the first time since reddit-logo and everytime it's an account from another federation. I was tepidly against federation at first but this has been entertaining, like the old days of pigpoop people who wandered into the sub.

I gotta imagine this will only last another week before everyone defederates us, but let's enjoy it for now.

    I was around for it, yes, but I also read research on it because the basic nature of the movement is an illusion created by enculturation, as I already indicated

      And that's the only thing you got out of it? The size and speed of the movement cannot simply be attributed to just a 4chan initiative.

        I'm not saying there wasn't already a popular base for right wing aggrievement politics

          Oh totally. It's how they ensnared more people that aren't actually all that right wing initially that concerns me.
