I was looking up footage of the ICE LA thing the other day and about 2/3 comments are just "HELL YEAH! THIS IS WHAT I VOTED FOR! KICK THESE CRIMINALS OUT!"

I disagree. By mainstream social media standards, Youtube comments aren't as bad as its peers. Youtube comments were probably one of the few places where you could rather easily find pro-Palestine comments before October 7. Meanwhile, it's still an uphill battle for Facebook and Reddit. If nothing else, Youtube is more international, which means less Anglo nonsense.

yeah youtube comments are way more tame than facebook and even reddit on non-lib topics

there's still a certain brand of "american news" video that just gets all the murican right wing mob going tho

Google is evil, so what do you expect if its bot farmers.

Basically any local tv news broadcast is a hive of nazis. I think they are all coordinating with the police to get stories out quickly and the viewership is usually receptive to racist police perspectives, and the channel is happy to cater to that for ratings.

Bet half those comments are from bot farms as well.

The almost cookie cutter nature of the statements as if they got a template and started to write similar versions or exact copies all in around the same time period.

Dead internet theory.

Bot farms invade social media to hijack popular sentiment (cw international-community-1international-community-2 coded) every acusation is a confession yadda

Governments, financial influencers, and entertainment insiders are using data center-like facilities full of phones to push narratives fabricated through fake social media engagement.

Any popular app has this problem. Instagram is even worse and so is Facebook with TikTok full of Andrew Tate brain rot.

As a social media manager for my org's local branches Instagram, don't get me started.

No Meta, I don't want to hear Peter Griffin saying "I hate n-words" for the 50th fucking time while a Family Guy clip plays. Instagram is like the anti-RedNote if that makes sense with how toxic It is. I hate that I was basically peer pressured to use It.

After WWIII, China needs to put the west under international tutelage and a heavy denazification process. No political agency for at least 50 years while the re-education takes place on a societal scale.
