this is the funniest subreddit ever. The top two posts are about the deprogram sub, second one is the clutching pearls begging for it to be banned

    in the comments someone said /r/TheDeprogram has a bot that claims Ashkenazi Jews are descended from Khazars. I've never heard this theory before, and I have no idea what the significance of it supposedly is, or why TheDeprogram would have a bot for it.

    not trying to stir up shit if this is some kind of struggle session topic lol, but if anyone can demystify this for me I'd appreciate it

    *googling "The Deprogram" "Khazar" turns up nothing.

      Their automod is set up to reply to a fair few prompt phrases with giant canned paragraphs, but I've never seen that.

        I tried commenting in the linked thread to point out that googling this turns up nothing, but my comments were insta-deleted.

          That sub insta-deletes any posts or comments from unverified users. To get verified you have to send the mods proof that you voted for Hillary in both 2016 and 2020

      It's a fun theory that most people see is patently ridicoulous and thus it's fun to run with. Chapo's own Felix had a whole rif about how he wants to go on a birthright trip to Istanbul, since he never plans on visiting Israel.
