Link is example. Omg a chimp smoking! Queue 8000 comments about how it's gotta be happier than all the citizens of North Korea combined
Every single thread tangentially mentioning North Korea is like this and it seems like there's multiple such posts every fucking goddamn day with how frequently I see this shit.
At this point most of :reddit-logo: only exists to reinforce propaganda.
And people wonder why China blocks western social media lol
It's literally run by "ex" CIA and they themselves accidently revealed one of the biggest concentrations of redditors was on a fucking airforce base
Rule 1: don’t get captured
Rule 2: there no such thing as a retired spook
Do you have a link for this? I would love to share that around to anyone that loves reddit like its the voice of America.
I haven't looked at the sources they linked to see if they're legit/still active but here
it was Eglin Air Force Base, and I remember reading the Reddit blog post myself, so, yeah, def. not made up
I can give you some links later, but look up who the reddit company executives are. If you intended the Voice of America (cia outlet, runs the "radio free ____, used to be run by tucker Carlson's father") pun, bravo that was brilliant.
Lol I did not, but thank you.
Funny how one can coin a generic patriotic phrase and its already a vehicle for propaganda somewhere.
Reddit’s content director (the person in charge of appointing mods, determining what subreddits get on the front page, etc) is Jessica Ashoo. Her LinkedIn used to be public before people started sharing it around.
She worked at Atlantic Council and also worked for the government of UAE as a “consultant”.
Yeah I've been noticing this on every single sub. China or Russia has to be mentioned, even in posts that aren't related to them. You could say this is a reflection of how most Americans are but I don't think most Americans have China or Russia on their mind as much as these obsessed Redditors do.
it's just standard (social media) marketing as far as I'm concerned. they have a public relations schedule where they know what china bad thing they will post for at least a month beforehand and if anything new comes up, they replace old stuff they've already posted.
Yeah they just recycle shit constantly. They milked the Uighur genocide narrative for years, constantly reposting the drone footage of the standard prison transfer or the mass arrest of the MLM pyramid footage we have all seen. They have like 3 pictures that seem spoopy (Chinese prisons are extra authoritarian!!!) that they literally just post each month like clockwork and act like it’s a breaking story.
The comments are always filled with frothing Redditors who think they know everything getting genuinely angry over months old re-posts of fakes
And people wonder why China blocks western social media lol
people are realizing this more and more, one of the healthiest things a nation can do is literally just block mayo opinions on a national scale
The internet is a weapon. Controlling the internet within one's country is a matter of sovereignty.
This brings up all sorts of questions about how to control it and who should control it that need serious discussion. But it's clear letting foreign corporations or governments to unilaterally decide those questions is monstrous
it's really worse than that. the cpc asked fb to delete etim terrorist content (groups? not sure) and they wouldn't comply
Oh no, how would I ever survive without my daily beheading videos
Facebook also a huge culprit for the Rohingya massacre. A communication line for terrorist
Meanwhile Facebook added 20,000 names to an FBI terrorist watch list because OnlyFans asked them to. Why? They were leaving OnlyFans to work for a competitor
And people wonder why China blocks western social media lol
I remember when China blocked Facebook there were so many smug libs declaring that China was going to be left behind from the future of the internet.
Fast forward to today and Zuck is almost universally reviled lmao.
Zuckerberg committed the cardinal sin in LiberalLand, which is to help Trump get elected. Anything else they were willing to forgive, but Trump made them draw a sharp line in the sand.
And people wonder why China blocks western social media lol
It's not like anyone in China would believe it, though, would they? Chinese people have windows they can look out of, last I checked. Unless le evil see see pee took them away?
I don't know man, with how goofy this anti China shit is getting I can't imagine anyone Chinese person's response being anything other than "What the fuck are the Westerners on about now?"
There’s still peoples that fall for it, but it’s in the minority. China have a website that translate American msm article, and most of the reaction are just lol. While there’s some brought into the propaganda but get push back hard
China have a website that translate American msm article, and most of the reaction are just lol.
Wait, what website is it? That sounds hilarious
Sure, but it only takes a few
There are plenty of Chinese libs who are ripe for western propaganda
Theres chinese language subreddits full of chinese libs with the most dogshit of takes
main sub reddit is a huge psyop campaign wage by the state dept, and peoples in certain airbase from Penn. You not going get anything from it except for constant propaganda, and even when users tried to make good faith inquiries and call out BS source, the mods there would just remove it, since it doesn't go with their narrative.
5 years ago I would have thought this comment was insane, but its completely accurate.
5 years ago it wasn't nearly this bad. Most of the astroturfing seemed to focus mainly on the domestic political landscape. I feel like things really started kicking into gear around the Hong Kong protests.
The 2011 fukushima disaster was the first time I saw professional grade astroturfing and was around when I started using reddit. Suddenly there was a nuclear physicist in every single thread telling everyone it was nbd.
:soypoint-1: I love these 2 emojis. You can surround anything with them and it becomes instantly funny :soypoint-2:
seems to literally exist to circlejerk about how evil China/
that's just reddit in general
there'll be a thread about starfish or something and some mayo will throw a fit about something China does that is 8 degrees of separation away from the original topic (which the west does 100x worse)
r/damnthatsinteresting is the same too, just barely concealed Imperial Core propaganda

Those subs have been an ongoing joke over on r/trueanon to the point users were asking to ban crossposts from there
grassduck.
Look at this adorable duck thNORTH KOREANS ONLY EAT GRASS I SEEN'T IT
Yeah it's not like it's common for assholes to give cigarettes to monkeys. Oh, wait: https://www.bbc.com/news/11484057
I mean, it also looks shopped. Am I the only one who thinks this? And it's not accompanied with any article or anything, seems like it could all be made up
