Site with over a million users and one of the biggest agitprop vehicles of the last five years and now it's private. Lol. Lmao.

Edit: Ok, now the mods are saying making the site private is only temporary while they "deal with the cleanup from ongoing brigading."

    The fact that the other mods in a chat signed off on it pisses me off to no end, because there was no recognition of reality serving someone up to Fox News like that.

    Yeah, this is probably the most disturbing aspect of the whole thing. "Oh yeah, let's just give the fascist news organization what they want." What the FUCK were they thinking? NO ONE should have been going on Fox News.

      I haven't been on here since shortly after the great purge. I'm here presently because Reddit is going to give me brain cancer. I can literally feel the malignant cells multiplying inside my skull. I was on Reddit since August 2011 for around an average of 5 hours a day, and that's been totally consistent since then.

      I'm too smart, also. In some sense, at least. Some kind of sensitivity and attention to the valuable details. I think I should take on the neurodivergent label just to avoid the kickback of proclaiming my intelligence.

      That said...

      THERE ISN'T A FUCKING CHANCE THOSE MODS WEREN'T INFILTRATORS. The amount of fucking onslaught against antiwork I've seen across Reddit is hard to fucking believe. Like some kind of subsection of the oligarch machine has been stimulated and poised to a point that they will literally simulate entire subreddits if they have to, which is what will come of workreform. They will simulate them. We'll get dozens of bots spamming the same shitty fucking lib memes you can get from the Occupy Democrats Facebook page. They will flood them with fucking petty bullshit, shitty memes, lib-tier nonsense, and that's the fucking reality.

      I want to get on Reddit. I want to argue. Right now, this very second. I just swore it off, and I wanna go back. It's who I've become. I wanna express myself, I wanna point out the shills and the manipulation. I want to guide people, in their child-like naivety, toward the ideas they need to mentally retain in order to prevent our wide-scale manipulation.

      But I know what that means. It means I'll be talking to people in intelligence agencies, think-tanks, ad agencies, etc., who are growing more and more aware of my own comparably lil-bitty intelligence I mentioned. This site was also unavoidably their way to push real Leftists into a secret corner to analyze and counter anything we attempt.

      I could spam my arguments on Reddit with high-tier logic. I could cut to the core and explain why everything is bullshit or otherwise. In the meantime, I feel the ever-increasing knowledge that I'm poking the bear that cannot be stopped. What is there to gain from being deeply correct against a source of ideological control that cannot accept loss? Will they even allow me to keep playing?

      Labor cannot win. Society will collapse under the weight of this unstoppable machine, and that's inevitable. Unless it's not.... In which case, I'm even more afraid.

        the great purge

        Do you mean the banning of r/CTH or are you referring to something that happened on hexbear?

        You should stay here and ditch reddit.
