Yep, im pretty sure after that reddit Admins ousted the remaining mods and installed their own. Thats part of why the workreform sub grew so large.

Definitely not a psyop though, its not like the government has ever done something like that before by lets say dismanteling a radical black socialist group by dividing it against itself into two competing street gangs . . .

Oh wait . . .

Had you read any of the shit before? It's not like anyone needed to do anything. They just had to wait for it to self-incinerate - which it disgracefully did - and then take over.

Why put in effort if all you need to do is eat popcorn and watch? :D

TBH this is one of the left's major flaws in general, in my opinion. The right will generally all glom together on an issue even if it's not 100% what they want, just as long as it's pushing things in the general direction they want. The left tends to be like herding cats, even if you can get a decent amount of people behind an issue, it'll inevitably split over some relatively minor disagreement and then the two sides will spend more time fighting each other than moving the general cause forwards.

The big issue with that is the right wants oppression and all the people that vote for them never think they will be under the boot until it happens. Unlike leftist, they know they will be under the boot the moment it's convent for the liberals to do so. So they fight.
