Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!
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!"
Holy shit 
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.
literally 90% of the pop needs it
My unsourced opinion is that people who have the time to write YouTube comments, and just in general have the time to post social media garbage, are people with petite bourgeois backgrounds. I imagine it's some fucking boomer in his McMansion in dickwad, Illinois.
Wikipedia editing has really beaten this into me. Some people have way more time to post bullshit than I do.
Same with the type of people who call into radio shows. Though you have plenty of working class chuds who waste what little free time they have getting mad over political articles
YouTube is genuinely worse than 4chan. Obviously it's going to depend on the channel and video. But on most vids, they like to pretend they're being "rational" or whatever the fuck while spouting off nazi shit. At least with 4chan, they're upfront about their chuddery.
Honestly it's like reddit in that someone will say some wrong, fucked up shit, and then someone else will come in and 'correct' them with different and just as wrong, fucked up shit, they will argue for abit, and then someone else will come in and be like "Hey now stop fighting, the truth is somewhere in the middle!". Bleh
clown to clown communication
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 
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.
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.
At least some of that is likely astroturfing from bot farms
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.
There is nothing of value in that hive of scum. The only legacy or mark they leave on this earth is a skidmark.
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.
