Is this normal activity for Reddit during an election year? Are there other subreddits like this? It's like they've taken over an entire forum with bots just to spam and bump the lowest IQ propaganda relentlessly. Genuinely curious who is bankrolling this and why they think it's of any benefit to them.

reddit has been an advertisers wet dream for years. easy to astroturf anything to popularity with bots, the userbase is all easily swayed midwit trannies, the jannies are all authoritarian nutcases who ban any wrongthink, the admins are all on someone's payroll, the chinese government owns most of the site. I don't know how much profit it generates, but it sure is a good tool for energizing democrats to whatever new insanity they need pushed.

I have seen similar stories on Reddit on the many different state, city and and whatever small communities such as colleges. Many of these posts are deleted by the mods and memory holed because the portray protected people in a negative light.

What’s crazy is that the comments on these types of posts will always feature someone scolding the OP for not trying to help the insane homeless person making a scene/tweaked out methhead shitting on the floor/annoying panhandler holding a sign off a highway exit standing in traffic. They’ll say that instead of warning people to stay away or tread carefully, you should be trying to assess the situation and offer to help.

Yeah, if an old lady needs a blanket or a guy just needs some change for bus fare, that’s one thing.

But if there are trained professionals out there who are (supposedly) skilled in de-escalation tactics that sometimes fail at talking down crazy people, what makes Bleeding Heart Bethany and Sorry Sack Sam think that the average person going about their day is going to do any better? And why should someone just trying to pick up a sandwich at a deli or mail a package at the post office be expected to de-escalate or intervene in these situations when they’re just going about their day? Insanity.

I don't think there's a reasonable argument someone can make that on a completely moral level that if you can help someone you shouldn't bother.

The problem is moreso that the last 30-40 years, at least in the western world, has moved beyond this just being a possible physical threat to your own safety for intervening and onto it being both a financial risk (lawsuits / legal) but also, and sometimes moreso importantly, a social one. Way too many times have social media stories been spun where the intervening party that was trying to help ended up getting labeled as the antagonizer and having their life destroyed due to it because someone purposely or "accidentally" edited the video.

40 years ago if you got stabbed helping defend a woman on a subway from a homeless nigger you'd be a local hero. Now you'd be lucky to avoid being called an alt right, racist simp who targeted the "less advantaged, most vulnerable citizens". Who can really blame people for turning apathetic?

I'm shocked there's anywhere on reddit that is pro-intervention outside of the smarmier r/donthelpjustfilm comments. During the summer of Floyd when even the mom and pop bodega was getting ransacked and citizens were getting sick of it, any video of randoms fighting back by stopping people from shoplifting was met with hordes of "corporate bootlickers, let them steal what they want, I'm sure insurance will cover it and they might need it idk." And while I agree nobody should get stabbed over a lifted TV, it was pretty disappointing to see so many people just be okay with letting their neighborhoods turn into shitholes so long as they don't have to get involved or speak up whatsoever.

Same with witnessing domestic violence in public -- "If I intervene, it will just get worse for him/her at home." Or seeing a woman get harassed by blacks on the street, "If she was really in trouble she should just scream for help." Oddly enough there's a lot of crossover with anti-2A and defunding the police types which makes one wonder what the fuck anyone will do if their goals are met considering no average person will step in and help you.

But why would advice animals be effective at all? Do boomers actually use Reddit or are they just trying to push whatever onto the front page so someone will read it and let it enter their subconscious?

 

[SomeSpook]

I myself can not really blame a lot of people for becoming so apathetic to everything now. Because why bother trying to help someone if they will simply spin a yarn to make themselves seem like a victim to something. You can't tell if anyone wants to be helped anymore, because everyone would rather be victims to a savage beating from some subhuman and proceed to then defend said subhuman because they are "oppressed." The only person you can save is yourself, because nobody else will save you.

Fuck no. It's an astroturfing campaign heavily focused on the front page. Start clicking OPs and you'll find obvious bots fast

This was covered not even 10 pages ago in this very thread. Please read before posting.

it's just a numbers game. the average redditor is a lukewarm 90 IQ so if you just forcefeed them endless propoganda some of them will get sucked in. also redditors still like advice animals because, I mean, 90 IQ.

The irony in all of it is that these retards are asking you to feel ashamed for being righteous when really, everyone else is society should make degens feel ashamed and scared. I can't stand so many people agreeing with and taking part in apathy. The apathy is the very issue, and it's the reason the law has become so lax to criminals and hard on interventionists and defenders. We're so caught up in the idea that there's "two sides to every story" that we'll sit down with a rapist or murderer and let him say how bad he feels and why he was wronged and victimized and then we'll actually account for that when it comes time to sentence the scourge away from the general public. Good people need some goddamn conviction and gumption, not this fence-sitting unease at the idea of trying to help. I'm not saying go and kill the husband every time you see an obvious domestic dispute, but don't stand there like a fucking idiot and pretend it's ok because no one else helped either.

I found this gem earlier while scrolling through some cat subs.



She's nonbinary too. Dumb retard cheats on boyfriend, pushes away all their loved ones, opens relationship and gets interested in people much younger. TROON! Many such cases!

Sincerely asking for examples, because I haven't heard of anything common or severe enough that this would make me think twice before intervening.

I had to search that image, I didn't know about this before (so, I wouldn't have been able to pass that kind of judgement on him). I wonder more like, does this happen a lot and not make the news, or are there some high-profile but anomalous cases. It's worrisome either way, of course.

Were....you just in a coma from 2020 to near 2022?



This nigga managed to hit the trifecta and get all 3 things happening to him. Physically assaulted, financially destroyed (he's still fighting off two civil suits even today) and socially destroyed when half the country still thinks he's a murderer for defending himself / others.

And shit, we don't even need to move the goal post to defending others, even defending yourself at this point from robbery is enough to get yourself the same financial and social destruction as Bike Karen learned. How anybody watched that initial video and thought a mid age white woman was trying to steal a bike from a group of young niggers was amazing. Yet she still got put on administrative leave and would've been fired if she couldn't have proven the bike was hers the whole time.

Add to that that she was a physician's assistant and six months pregnant at the time. You have to be completely mind-poisoned by the inverted reality of BLM to immediately conclude that after a 12-hour hospital shift, this very pregnant woman decided to rob a bike from some black teens.

I have discovered JF Gariepy's Reddit account

Spoiler

So the other day I (20M) went to my sister's (26F) house to celebrate her daughter's third birthday. My girlfriend (19F) wanted to come with me. She had never met my sister before and was excited to meet the rest of my family aside from my mum and dad. But I knew there would be a potential issue. My girlfriend has autism, and she likes to carry around a stuffed animal with her named Mandy. She's not intellectually disabled (I think if you gave us an IQ test she'd score higher than me, honestly) but she does have some quirks with which I try to be as accommodating as I can. She likes to carry Mandy around with her in public, and I've never had an issue with that.

But I told her that she shouldn't bring Mandy to my sister's house. I suspected that if my niece (who again, is a three year old girl) saw Mandy, she was going to think it's hers, want it, and then get upset when she's told she can't have it. I explained to my girlfriend how this could cause a potential issue, and I didn't want my niece crying on her birthday. She said she understood but that my sister should explain to my niece that she can't have it because it belongs to her (she's an only child and has limited experience with young kids, and I don't think she realises you can't really reason with a child of that age like that).

So I then texted my sister and tried to explain that my girlfriend was going to bring a stuffed animal with her, but that it wasn't a present for my niece and she wouldn't be allowed to play with it, and that the present we were getting for her was going to be a Barbie playset that was wrapped up. My sister was very understanding and non-judgemental about the whole thing and said she'd keep it in mind.

So on the day we arrive and when my niece sees my sister holding Mandy, she immediately wants it. My girlfriend says "Sorry, but no". She looks to her mum (my sister), presumably thinking she would give her a different answer, but she tries to redirect her to the present we brought for her. My niece has a meltdown. My girlfriend isn't good with kids or loud noises so she starts having a meltdown too, which then creates a bit of a feedback loop where they're setting each other off. Keep in mind that both my family and my brother-in-law's family are at the party and are watching this unfold. I take my girlfriend outside to calm her down a bit, to which she finally agrees to leave Mandy in the car for the rest of the day. We come back inside and my sister has finished calming down my niece. The rest of the day was more than a little bit awkward. My sister's father-in-law made a comment that infuriated me about how he didn't know there were going to be two toddlers at the party but I didn't say anything (in hindsight I regret not confronting him over this).

When we got home I told my girlfriend that I was mad at her for upsetting my niece, that I told her I knew this was going to happen if she brought Mandy with her, and that she embarrassed herself in front of my family. She said that I and my sister didn't do enough to stick up for her and that my niece needed to learn that other people's things aren't hers. Now she's giving me the cold shoulder and I'm not sure if I should have handled things differently. AITA?

EDIT: Clarified that the FIL is my sister's.

Half the comments are defending the 19 year old having a meltdown at a 3 year old's party, because this is Reddit so of course they are.

Amen!

Honestly, I feel like the real context here is that all of America is a giant Indian burial ground, and we'd disturbed it enough times to curse the world.
