    the fact that there are multiple sources actively brigading this comment thread and it fucking refuses to budge numbers-wise proves this shit is an active astroturf. There cannot be that many real people upvoting this garbage, holy shit. It's actually fucking ratio'd. You shouldn't and usually don't have ratios like this on a site that has downvotes, it's just downvoted to oblivion! :matt-jokerfied:

    like, it is extremely deep! it's off a downvoted comment! it's hidden! you have to load more comments to find the initial thread! even then you have to click "continue this thread off the hidden comment to find the comments in question! there is brigading from multiple fucking places that directly link it! very few real people who actually agree with the jingoism are being actually linked to this shit! nor are they finding it organically! it can't be anything but a server-side manip or an astroturf! how do they think this shit looks real?!? :joker-troll:

    Of course, disclaimer, brigading is very cool and very good, especially to make chuds mad

      The whole subreddit is actually mad. The hogs encouraging each other to volunteer and get bombed by Russia, something else.

      They sunk a good portion of foreign aid on shilling.

      For instance the "r/combatfootage" subreddit (at least for the first week and a half) was actively deleting every thread that showed any Ukrainian losses. They had automod just delete threads with too many downvotes so basically every video was showing Russians losing in some way.

      Very messed up because during every other way you'd get more or less balanced videos and not just obvious one-sidedness.
