Maximum post-truth factor for fun: 9/11 never happened and all the footage of the twin towers are nothing more than AI fakes.

(Facepalm)

It's a scam at best. At worst you find yourself being part of a death game, thinking you can win all the money by killing all of the other players - only to get executed in the end anyway.

The good take care of the evil. The evil take care of the stupid. The stupid take care of the good. A perfect loop.

I can't imagine any group doing something like that. At least not any group that is not far-right.

Well, turns out Lemmy is exactly the same. Got the evidence a few minutes ago.

I would call them useful idiots. Fragmentation of the far-right would be a good thing - but only if the dems would be united, otherwise there would be chaos which would be even worse than fascism.

History shows that the rebel of today tends to be the tyrant of tomorrow...

I doubt the dems have a plan. They're too busy fighting themselves, just like the democratic parties in Europe.

I just can't come up with a positive prognosis because none of the ingredients are there.

I'm not familiar with shadowbanning because it didn't happen to me or anyone else I wrote with. We all got permabanned officially. But even the permabans were weird. In some case I was still able to edit old comments, in another I wasn't. In a third case I was able to backup my saved links. So technically, a lot was broken. I don't think that anyone at Reddit really knows what's going on or has control over anything.

It can't be kept anyway. It's not sustainable like the Chinese model. The tech bros and the Christian fundamentalists are not compatible in the slightest. Both also want absolute power, but for different reasons. Remains the question which regime would be worse...

I don't think that the dems will be in charge anytime soon though. Not with all the creative garrymandering, not with the exclusion of PoC, not with all the people who gave up on voting because it doesn't make a difference anyway. This is also a serious problem here in Europe nowadays.
