I'm on my last account. Having to farm new accounts has become too cumbersome.

Whenever some deplorables get angry enough to get that account banned then I'm done. This is a less talked about rate of attrition on reddit.

I've had one banned for replying that a comment was "self gratifying". The militant far-right internet warriors report spam enough such that eventually some careless content mod will click the ban button.

    So this article went over everyone's head??? The surveillance apparatus is the that they were able to be identified immediately. You guys prove the authors point. It's so normalized it doesn't seem out of place. Not only that they were blasted around the world just as fast.

    The post we're in right now showing their names and faces. The comment section we're in. This is part of the mass surveillance machine.

    The witch hunt is self evident but I suppose I need to be blunt. It's because they're deemed worthy of your scorn. So you accept the dystopian surveillance state because in this instance it has served your purpose.

    Crazy times.

    Distractions. Diversions... The concentration camps got wiped off the news cycle. The protests got wiped off the news cycle.

    Every cycle they have a few of their guys play the other side. Like a good cop bad cop routine. Works every time.

    Picture a middle school cafeteria. That's close to the representation of who is in the comment sections. I'm sure of it. Maybe there's a teacher or two, the janitor, the person serving lunch. The adults generally have their mind elsewhere. The majority of users are going to be kids.

    I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.

    The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.

    The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.

    I've been wondering if basic prank tactics can work like fucking with their mask.

    Pull the mask up over the eyes. Snip the mall ninja utility belt. Pants them.

    Or toss their hat real quick. Pull the mask up and zip tie it closed above their head. They will be forced to pull it off their head all together.

    Such things would require outnumbering each of them by multiples of course.

    I got a ban from there after being confronted by a /pol/ troll. One of the ones that attacks things they don't like as being Indian. They said something about them needing to be genocided. I called them a nazi. That was the reason for the ban.

    So that's why I'm pretty sure the mods of subreddit are basically /pol/. I think that whole subreddit is a front for controlling narratives.
