For those unaware, the anti-Progressive, super edgelord shitposting sub CringeAnarchy was quarantined and then shut down for repeatedly violating Reddit standards of content. If you gazed in there without context you'd think the place was straight up Nazis. However, as I myself was subbed there for a bit, I noticed a weird thing was occurring.
Posted in the sub was blatantly anti-Semitic and abhorrently racist memes and videos, and they were highly upvoted. However, if you read the comment section, you'd see a lot of highly upvoted disapproving comments towards what was there. Reading further and asking around, it became clear to me that the sub was being brigaded.
Allegedly, what was occurring was that people against the sub and where it stood were organizing via Discord and posting rule-breaking shit. They'd subscribe to the sub, someone would post a shitty thing on a deception account, and everyone else would mass upvote it. Considering what I know of radical social justice behavior, I'm not surprised by this.
Sargon of Akkad's sub was quarantined as well, and I'd bet will get shut down too. Right-wingers are being banned off Twitter and Facebook... the normal inquisition is intensifying in the face of the upcoming 2020 elections.
Don't be under any illusion that this sub will not be targeted as well. With great power comes an incredible lust to keep using it, and with the ability to subversively shut down subs at will, eventually the unhinged wrath will come our way too.
In my opinion, it already is. There are a lot of posts in here of Twitter screenshots from some broken-minded feminist Twitter account with 100 followers. And I'd bet a lot of those accounts are not even real.
Pretty soon, I'd bet we are going to start seeing blatantly, actually for real misogynist stuff... stuff that would make even more people go "Oh, that's in a sub called 'MensRights?' Yeah, figures." And the comment section will have the same story: no we don't actually like this stuff, why the fuck is it so upvoted?
An indicator of this coming on would be if our sub count suddenly skyrocketed. That happened at CringeAnarchy and (somewhere else that's similar, I can't remember.)
Here are the stats for our sub here. Take a look at the subscriber rank. I don't know how to read that too well, or what is a normal "feel" for that specifically, but a chaotically scribbly line starting a few months ago might a sign of some weirdness.
The Leftist inquisition never stops. When I say "Leftist" I don't mean Liberals in general, or even all Progressives. I mean the unhinged, raised from birth ideologue "FIGHT AND RESIST!" types with incredibly apparent emotional and mental issues who literally advocate for actual Communism. These people don't stop. They dedicate their lives to this shit. They are, as someone recently put it, "political trophy hunters." They want to shut down things like a "MensRights" forum on Reddit, or find that 14 year old tweet from a newly elected politician that makes him look homophobic or whatever. These are not normal mindframes here.
Just... be vigilant is all. You see something in here that would make even a moderate feminist go, "Oh well, of course they'd post that." then downvote it. Disapprove of it. Demonstrate that. That's all.
edit- TYPOS. SO MANY TYPOS.
