It has to have been a 'bit'. My bet is it's the same user who pretended to be the HexCoin cryptobro. I really wish we weren't committed to fake shit for 'bits' so intensely that we effectively sow misinformation among ourselves. Stuff that may appear an 'obvious bit' to one user quickly forms real false 'facts' to other people.

I think it’s the same user who did the universal dress code bit and the “I’m so pathetic and worthless because I’m white in America” bit … kinda begs the question, are they actually a cop? That would explain a lot about that post.
Nah, their description of cop work seemed too superficial imo like theu described it as standing around at protests and ignoring calls in their cruiser. They also said NYC is woke and they're not permitted to rough up civies :do-not-laugh:
I assumed it was a bit from the beginning, there's no way anyone'd be so lacking in self-awareness that they'd post here about breaking up protests and being a "good cop".
They claimed they engaged in zootopia roleplay, this is the laziest wrecker shit I've seen and I don't get the target
You wanted to prove leftists hate cops? You could've just asked
You wanted to prove cops could be leftists? Maybe, if you executed a billionaire
You wanted to prove you are one of the good ones? Resign or sacrifice your life to save the life of a drug dealer
aww all the interesting things happen when I'm not here
Seriously.
What happened?? I can't even find it in the modlog?
Someone with the username CommunistCop posted am "I'm a cop AMA" thread. He claimed to be an MTA cop (NYPD on the subway) and admitted to helping suppress protests, but claimed he was actually a communist who was just doing a job and was a "good cop." He got dunked on hard, then banned.
what part of all cops are bastards did they not get, giving them the confidence to post this thinking they won't get immediately shat on
Probably the part where we point at the PRC cops and go "damn wish we had some of that", and some U.S cop or someone larping as one wanted to try and cash in on some of that sentiment by pouring a bucket of red pain on their head
They claimed to be doing a bit, but it wasn't that good
👀👀👀
I thought it was just a bit name, or like, Disco Elysium reference and they got banned for "normal" reasons until I looked them up in the modlog. What the fuck were they expecting?
What the fuck were they expecting?
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
I also totally thought that was a Disco Elysium reference.
So it wasn't a bit? Damn, can I get some 1312s in chat?
Even if it was a bit, it was kind of lame.
1312
I mentioned this earlier when frauddog left, but there should really be a question in the signup asking about views on US military/government personnel. As it stands, 
could easily make an account by answering the asked questions. I know we aren't grad, and we don't need people to write a super long essay, but it would be good to have a little more of a filter.
Mandating putting "former troop/cop" in user's bio should be mandatory. That's not the kind of thing you should be able to sweep under the rug.
Dang, when/why did frauddog leave? They always seemed based, they didn't end up secretly revealing positive views on the US mil/gov did they?
Turned out to be a troop
They WHAT. Then I wonder if they were a fraud or wrecker the whole time or something just because of how aggressive they were
If you want more context you can use the search function
Thank you, found it: https://hexbear.net/comment/5785091. I'm so used to not searching for anything because 
's search function is so horrendous (or... I guess it was years ago, I haven't tried to search for anything there in a very long time because it was so bad) that it didn't even occur to me to try Lemmy's.
And wow. WOOOOOOW. I can't see frauddogg's comments because they've been deleted but those responses from FunkYankkkees (especially "CSA VICTIMS DIDN'T KILL HALF MY FUCKING FAMILY") are heartbreaking and are quite telling
whatever frauddogg was saying sounds heinous.
We should have people disclose if they've been in the AmeriKKKan armed forces in applications and if they have, make sure their views are suitably unfavorable to the armed forces. It doesn't make sense to ban people for having signed up when they were young and groomed into it, but irl the only veterans I'll do any sort of action or organizing with are the ones who come out absolutely hating the US empire and who won't make excuses for or get defensive about having been in it.
I don't want to reignite the drama, but I also was just inactive enough to be just learning about this now.
I never would have expected this turn of events because frauddogg was very militantly anti-imperialist, and a healthy dose of the hostility that null had was in many ways beneficial — for instance, in getting me to read Settlers.
As other commenters mentioned, it's a shame that now some people will use this to dismiss the overwhelmingly many correct takes that null had.
Yeah that is a shame. Frauddogg was one of my favorite posters for the incredible takes overall.
Aren't we going to need military people in the future revolution? Like during the Russian Revolution the socialists used military support, including dissatisfaction with their missions abroad and in wars, in order to help secure power.
I feel like cops will be a bigger enemy than the soldiers if it comes down to a civil war, but maybe I'm wrong.
I feel like cops will be a bigger enemy than the soldiers
Then phrase the question something like: "If you have been a police officer or in the armed forces, what are your views on your time there?"
If you are defending having been a cop or in the military, at least when it comes to the US or its vassals, that's problematic.
Good point. 100%
"Hey lol I'm part of the dam that holds back popular revolt by my mere presence"
taking the bait hard enough to make a separate post about it lol
You think there aren't people here who work somewhere holding this shithouse of cards together?
some of those that work forces
are the same that make shitposts
That ama was full of satire and bait
Question still stands.🤷
That was a mediocre bit, I'm calling it
