Russia had been running bots supporting very far-right ideas. So when the data center got destroyed by Ukraine, most of the bots disappeared.

u/Miami_Mice2087 2d ago

it's not about supporting far right ideas, it's about sowing animosity between groups. They tell white people that black people are on drugs, black people that white people are all klansmen, poor people that immigrants are stealing jobs, and republicans that democrats eat children.

They were even invading sewing and knitting groups to start arguments about patterns.

Thing is, they stood out like a sore thumb because they were so alien to those groups.

The idea is relentless chaos.

u/NecessaryGarlic9775 1d ago

That is mostly true though! Except only a small percentage of whites are klansmen these days…

Thankfully, but still to many

u/Vowify 2d ago

Yeah those russian bots supporting very far-right ideas are going ham on r/pics its kinda insane.

u/thespitzfire 2d ago

By whom, where, when?

u/Tasty_Side_8391 22h ago

Wasn't, people just didn't understand the reason.. The bots were down because they no longer got answer from the http. They were still "active", but content went down.

Please link, I really want to read about this

Far right ideas like bumping up Hasan Piker's streaming numbers.

No, not at all. How would that serve Russia anyway?

u/adisor21 2d ago

Because the majority of Far-left people are Pro Russia. Go to socialists subreddits and you see it.

1

u/Severe-Beyond-1069 2d ago

No they aren’t lmao. If you’ve found a fringe subreddit that glorifies the USSR then you can call them whatever you want but the majority of the left recognise that Russia is an authoritarian capitalist state and it goes without saying that the USSR was a failed socialist state. Also, we’re generally anti-war and the invasion is being perpetrated by Russia. Trump is the one aligning with Russia, and while I know not all republicans support him, last I checked not a single democrat does.

u/adisor21 2d ago

I said the far-left not left in general. Socialists/communists, not specifically to Russia but they hate the West and Ukraine is the West so they hate Ukraine. They basically spread Russia's propaganda. Even in France the Far left party is basically pro putin.

The idea is here on Reddit you would see a lot of these people.

1

u/Severe-Beyond-1069 2d ago

You’re making a lot of generalisations. Do you see communists in the West that are anti-West and align with the USSR? Sure, sometimes. Do they represent the far left or even communists? Not at all.

1

u/adisor21 2d ago

I mean its the majority at least here on Reddit, if i got to their subs, they often talk shit about capitalism and how horrible it is, and if Ukraine is mentioned it is always negative, which is why I stay away from these people. Another streamer Hasan Piker a far left person again with a lot of influence, called Crimea part of russia and basically lowkey thinking the same as Trump, that Ukraine should surrender.

I am not sure what generalization i am making, they identify as such and are proud of their stance.

1

u/Severe-Beyond-1069 2d ago

You’re generalising the far left, communists, socialists, redditors, etc. “The majority or Far-left people are Pro Russia”. Don’t go back on your original point. I’ve explained why it isn’t the majority and you’re using isolated examples and anecdotal evidence to reason that it is.

1

u/adisor21 2d ago

I mean you can explain it to me again, i might have missed it, why do you think i am wrong here exactly and you think it isn't a majority ?

I believe the far left would be considered the anarchists and marxists. In some historical context, communism would definitely be far left. Especially economically. Socialists are kind of closer to the center.

1

u/adisor21 2d ago

Real socialists, want to abolish capitalism and the state will own private property. is not the same as "social democracy".

1

u/OwnHost5215 2d ago

They are not. Russia is not socialist anymore & one of the staples of the new right is Russofilia. Trump, the AFD, Reform, all advocate in favour of Russian interests.

u/Aguywhoexists69420 2d ago

Sounds more like “anti donkey” than “pro Russia”

1

u/Someone_Existing_1 2d ago

Tankies like Russia, the majority of leftists aren’t tankies

1

u/Primordial_spirit 2d ago

Not even close a very fringe minority of leftists maybe

u/Wellcomefarewell 2d ago

this post makes no sense, ukrainian bots aren’t even whats notorious for scamming MAGA men, indian men using AI are

u/Comfortable-Fun-7709 1d ago

The post is doing what it’s about. I guess it’s irony.

1

u/Bro13847 1d ago

It was a Russian data center that was destroyed

u/1olehound 1d ago

That narrative has been disproven. Traffic has not decreased. Nice lie. Fits an agenda but still a lie

u/Blooi1E 1d ago

lol. You have issues

u/Dazzling-Talk-4055 1d ago

Funny meme… 😐 but if you believe Russia has an inkling of anything to do with Conservative beliefs, you should study harder. You’ve been listening to and believing things on the internet and it’s quite sad.

u/NearbyBreakfast7148 1d ago

As if facts mattered to those pushing that narrative

u/Bro13847 1d ago

There have literally been reports on this all the way back to 2014. It’s not a conspiracy. But sure keep your head safely in the sand.
