Pass me the cyanide gas because this seems like a highly successful op.
The 30 year old dog walker did an interview on Fox that was pretty cringe but all in all not THAT bad imo but is set off a firestorm and 200k people instantly joined /r/workreform
Here's where it gets fun. The 3 mods of /r/workreform all work at the same bank. One is A CTO and the others claim to be low level employees. Link
The new sub seems like a bunch of libshits. "It’s work reforms not anti capitalism"
"This isn't necessarily an anti-capitalism sub. We may share many of the same ideals and goals, but "
"If you want anticaptialism, go to /r/LateStageCapitalism"
tl;dr a 30 yo dog walker was too much for the libs to handle 😅
RAPE CONTENT WARNING facebook screenshots supposedly proving that the mod who did the interview is a sex criminal were posted by an account that's less than a month old (and crossposted to cringe subs of course). i'm not even following this shit the only reason i know about it is because i was hate-scrolling terf tumblr and they picked it up immediately.
more and more this entire debacle looks like an op. i don't think a subreddit was going to form a revolutionary vanguard party or whatever, but it's way too easy for enemy forces to manipulate the dogbrains of :reddit-logo:.
e: and of course there's an active thread on kiwifarms, which i won't be linking to
saying it was an op is copium. The mod who did the interview was one of the original founders of the sub in 2014.
Honestly it's really ridiculous how quick people in leftist spaces are to call something an OP.
People of all kinds (that includes communists) are perfectly capable of being idiots and/or pieces of shit all on their own, no intelligence agency meddling needed. This is something literally all organizations in the history of mankind had to deal with.
Calling everything bad that happens an OP is defeatism mixed with blind paranoia.
hey that's my line
i mean i think the way the subreddit's collapse was set up and is being managed is an op. i think abolishwork is probably sincere, and secondary sourcing for the accusation is convincing.
Some of the other mods, who encouraged this mod to do the interview, are feds. Fox specifically reaching out to and requesting an interview from this mod is suspicious. A team of bankers prepared to swoop in and redirect the sub to liberal reformism is suspicious.
Just because this mod is likely not a fed doesn't mean it wasn't an op, and doesn't mean that that there hasn't been any coordinated action on the part of the state and/or capital to nerf the sub as a means of kneecapping the movement.
This person has been posting antiwork content for 7 years and has run abolishwork.com for at least as long.
