basically like how the russians do it, with bodies, and money, except the usa wastes more money. no strategy, just keep throwing waves of campaign after campaign of wars, plus it also justify have a 800bn budget. tangentially, this is what mr benjamin is doing constant war aggression so he keeps getting aid from the us. Pakistan does it too, just pretend they are doing something about the taliban in thier borders, just to keep getting aid.
he misses the day where he was top youtuber shilling for google, and all that sweet money, thats why hes trying to low key come back, need more money and glory from his old days, after hiding in japan.
they experimentated that in a small town, they abandoned it when they couldnt afford the roads, trash cleanups,,,etc. and then another one was they ran out by black bears.
they been brainwashed that tax cuts to corporations are the only one that matters, because it will give them jobs. i visited r/con early on in his 1st term, it was funny how they mentally gymanstically justify it.
and that the middleclass- well off people not rich think they are getting a deal by having no income taxes in states like nevada, so some moved there and it turns out it has shit education and medical facilities,or none at all(i once followed a poc youtuber that did this) and next to no cultural community according to your race. oh at the same time railing on california, because of its "woke" policies, but your business depends on californias going to your stupid channel.
the sub is mostly run by russian shills, or russian propagandist mods. they often have to reorientate thier position multiple times to combat sudden changes thier current events, like with luigi, trump;s tariffs ruining farming businesses.
also going after the low-hanging fruits of bots, OF and linking/pedalling a business, and not the state actor propaganda firms. 50%bots/50% users is not a good sign.
reddit wants what Facebook has, AI generated content, and aggressive right wing propaganda which drives republicans and hate-users(counter to republicans) to the site.
they did a disservice by banning IRL users, and not actuall botters, it tells us that bots are half of thier accounts.
i tend not to report people on lemmy, because of bad experience with reporting people on reddit for misinformation/spamming,,etc. i mostly just block them.
extreme versions political communities, instances are likely to get spammed, so reducing that would be defederating or blocking those instances. Lemmy will eventually have to come up with more anti-botting tools to combat this.
it was always to justify the defense budget to go into the pockets of the contractors, the politicians and the lobbyists.
