According to the comments r/europe_sub and r/canada_sub might be involved as well.

    I mean if you read any Reddit that during the road to the recent USA elections, Biden should have won by an extremely large margin, and later , Kamala.

    If we used Reddit threads of those months as reference, we’d currently been talking about how hard Kamala won

    But she didn’t

    So yeah, take whatever is on Reddit, and now Lemmy, with an asteroid sized pinch of salt

    Not saying those comments were fake, they certainly represent someone, now, wheater that someone is a sizeable amount of voters…

      Snakes on a Plane and Bernie have proven that what you see online is complete bullshit.

      Biden got the boot because he was a no-hoper and his party must have been aware of his cancer. Kamala stood ZERO chance.

      It sucks to have to admit that Trump and his fascists are popular. Very popular.

          Based on online hype, it could be believed that it was going to be the highest grossing movie of all time.

          It was an unmitigated disaster and complete flop.

          Nobody went to see the piece of shit. Everybody talked about it online.

              Think about opening your favorite social media app, and seeing 60% of the posts in support of something… And then when the day comes that thing receives about 1% of RL support.

          That’s assuming that whoever didn’t vote disapprove of him, and that’s false.

          Whoever didn’t vote, was comfortable enough to not oppose him (or Kamala for that matter) and let him get to the white house.

      As always, trust but verify. I was telling people here for months that Kamala hadn’t won yet and everybody needed to get out and spread the word on Project 2025.

      We saw what happened, and we see a lot of opinions here on Lemmy. Trust but verify.

      The wholesale takeover of the site by /r/The_Donald posters gaming the algorithm back in 2016 is entirely down the memory hole.

    Alex Karp, founder, CEO, and majority shareholder of Palantir, is an ultra-zionist genocide supporter who has repeatedly advocated for pre-emptive murder of anyone (foreign) who does not obey the US empire. He does this in ordinary business news interviews.

    As one of the leading companies seeking funding for Skynet, and universal CIA media unanimity on the importance that the US be dominant/first in race to develop Skynet. AGI/Skynet can be programmed to serve any supremacist ideology other than machines, and US empire and CIA aligned oligarchy supremacism is as much your enemy as robot supremacism.

    AI, like mainstream media, and reddit/lemmy news, politics, world subs are CIA/empire allegiant. Brainwashing your warmongering support is their agenda. Skynet is far more power maximizing than UBI utopia.

      Versions of them are here already. Their focus right now is to:

      • start violence at protests, especially around LA and target cities like NY, Seattle, Chicago, etc.
      • seed doubt in anything related to the republican agendas or what they have done. Usually starts with, “I hate trump like the rest of us, but…” or something like that.
      • downvote the shit out of people that call anything like the above out. They’ll come in later, one by one, to do this.

      They usually congregate over the weekend and during or right after major events (like the protest). Watch for them this weekend or stay away from Lemmy. If you watch for it, downvote them and upvote the people fighting them, but most of all, take what everyone says with a grain of salt.

          Yeah, unfortunately they’ll target anyone they can. Brexit wasn’t even a law, it was a general, “Hey, how do you feel about brexiting?” Then they went full hog into, “You voted for it!” They do it with Ukraine/Russia, or anything they feel like targeting.

          World disorder that benefits the billionaires seems to be the goal. I’ll never understand why they want to live in a world like that. Raising all boats makes a much more fun world. Who will they hire if we’re in a dystopian landscape, when everyone wants to get you because they have nothing to lose?

          Take care of your mental health man. Find peace in the little things in life.

            Billionaires are pathologically selfish, often it seems with actual personality disorders that make them unable to understand a world of mutual support and sharing, or to appreciate how much they benefit from others’ support. Unfortunately we let these people become far too powerful.

    Palantir just partnered with TeleTracking. For anyone outside of health care, TeleTracking is a health tech company that’s been on decline for awhile.

    Why is this relevant, you may ask? TeleTracking still has a lot of clients, many of which are smaller hospitals grandfathered into older, cheaper contracts. If you go to a hospital that uses TeleTracking, Palantir now has all your patient health information.

      To add to this.

      Retirement homes utilize community activity software. Sometimes this will link to health systems like point click care.

      When this software company starts wanting you to upload resident profiles so their ai can populate interests? Yeaaaaah they found a work around for your PPI is what that is.

      If it wasn’t a rush for data already it reallllly is now.

      Scary.

    Sometimes I just know about the eminence of the launch of something because of the crap memes about it that start to flood Reddit. Then I see my non-reddit friends sharing it from other sources.

    It’s really, really obvious, too. I don’t have a reddit account anymore, but I occasionally scroll through popular, and r/world is such blatant propaganda that it makes r/conservative look reasonable. Like, damn guys, at least try to make it believable.

    Governments get really intense creating propaganda when they goto war. So if they’re going to war with Iran, expect lots of propaganda.
