From what I understand there's a good chance that at least some of them are a NATO influence operation. The usual suspicious behavior - Lots of coordination of accounts, messaging, shit like that. Could just be a big discord or something, though, but even then, could be a big discord with some NATO spooks providing some portion of the content.
I love living in the future where "fascist shibes advocating for heckin imperial wars of domination" is a thing.
The Center for New Liberalism, parent organization of the Neoliberal Project (which is the root of the subreddit), openly "partners" with the conservative "Progressive Policy Institute", which almost looks as though it has done a corporate acquisition of the CNL
I personally think that merely giving lipservice to progressive policy (or even easier, criticizing Republican-aligned reactionary policy) means very little, but it provides a list of donors and also mentions this:
Criticism of EU Antitrust Legislation and the Federal Trade Commission
The Progressive Policy Institute has been critical of Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and European Union (EU) antitrust regulators for blocking gene-sequencing company Illumina from acquiring the cancer-diagnostic developer Grail.
The institute objected to the EU’s move to prevent the merger of two American companies, referring to its decision as “regulatory imperialism.”
The institute was also critical of the FTC, claiming that Illumina’s commitment not to raise the price of services provided by Grail and the potential to advance cancer detection technology beyond what Grail could do independently warranted the merger.
They promised, guys! No way would a medical monopoly in America scam anyone!
They've been brigading the shit out of the Deprogram subreddit. I have been sent multiple death threats and mass reported with those

Lib :reddit-logo: love using the
CW
suicide hotline
As a form of harassment if you say anything against their narrative.
deleted by creator
Whats more, parts of reddit were basically designed to foster this kind of antisocial behavior
Has anyone ever responded to an internet death threat by going to the threatener's house and kicking their ass?
Ugh. The suicide hotline thing is annoying. Like thanks, :reddit-logo:, you banned saying "KYS" then added a "KYS" button. A great win for civility.
More like lurkers than anything. I haven't seen them doing all that much whenever I stop in there.
