    It’s totally anecdotal but suddenly there was a rise in cottage corp, trad-wife content that led me to far right streams just as fast as watching a Rogan clip.

    I know the algorithm is based on what I watch and in this case that’s cooking channels and weapons (vehicles, infantry, civilian, sci-fi). That last one really confuses the algorithm.

    I never saw it as trad-wife being a coordinated attack on feminism but like, damn. Now I can.

      Yup. Putin is the prime cause behind much of the world’s reactionarism, in my opinion: he is a despot and oligarch, and has helped other dictators into power.

        He’s certainly not helping, but prime cause? No way. The prime cause is that the system is fundamentally broken. The last round of fascists didn’t need Putin’s help, and it’s odd to think this batch is somehow different.

          I agree, not the prime cause. Israel also participates in the same tactics. If you call them out on reddit, your attacked by zionists.

        Thank you.

        I’ve been thinking this for a decade+ but absolutely no one seemed to have figured it out!

        I bet the kremlin sponsored the anti nuclear in 1980 sweden, it all makes so much sense.
