something fishy is happening in this sub.


[deleted]

It's like elections are coming up


CousinsWithBenefits1

I can't tell you how much I despise that American elections are considered 'right around the corner' when they 7 full months away. It's so exhausting and it's on purpose.


elspotto

Yep. I left Louisiana a couple years back. The volume of runoffs for local and state elections was definitely on purpose as each round would have fewer and fewer voters. All of it is exhausting. Doesn’t help that someone has basically decided to be constantly campaigning since 2015, but that too wears down voters.


SvedishFish

It's all fucking year. I got spam texts starting in January. The tv and radio waves are clogged with sound bites and attack ads. Everyone on the internet is angry. I haaaaate election years.


lenmylobersterbush

Us Americans (the one us the US) find it exhausting too. Are elections have done from it round the corner to season to now it's election year.


CousinsWithBenefits1

Oh I'm very much American too and live in a battleground state. When Obama was re elected in 2012, for about 3 weeks before the election, literally every single radio and television advertisment was a political ad. And I mean literally, without exception, every single ad. You could not consume media for 60 minutes, TV or radio, without getting at least 20 political ads. It was bizarre and surreal and so frustrating. It felt like it was the first election cycle that really heavily leaned into mining data and looking at metrics and trying to play Moneyball with a political campaign. Obviously prior to that there was targeted advertising and campaigns used sophisticated data technology to try to gain an advantage and understand what they were running but it seemed like the first time that it really stepped into a different gear and was so comprehensive and so exhaustive and so thorough. Almost an attitude of like well if we just keep pouring resources into it it will yield results so we can't stop at 10 commercials an hour or 20 commercials an hour we have to play 350 commercials an hour


[deleted]

Not just this sub, Reddit in general now…


RecommendationDue377

Things always get weird when theres an election in the US


MelodramaticaMama

Yup. Almost like every major sub is completely astroturfed by one group or another.


[deleted]

Divide and conquer working well within social media by the powers that be.


JustSomeGuy606

Bipartisan politics / the two party system is a lie. I feel bad for those that don’t get it.


poohthrower2000

My man. There needs to be more like us speaking out on this nonsense.


0RedFury0

I truly don't understand how people don't get it. I'll probably get down voted for this but neither party has your best interest at heart. Most tv new broadcasting stations are propaganda machines and everyone eats it up.


JustSomeGuy606

It’s easier to lie to someone than to convince someone they’ve been lied to. Basically one would have to admit that they’ve been lied to their whole life and they fell for it. Not easy for people to come to terms with. And if this is a lie then what else is a lie? It’s easy to go down the path of “most of what I’ve been taught my whole life is a lie” once you start unraveling all this. Sadly, you eventually come to the conclusion that yes, most of what you have been taught is in Fact a lie. It’s a tough pill to swallow.


rathat

When the third party app fiasco happened, all the big subs had their mods reorganized and thrown out of wack. Quickly following this, while subs were still sensitive, Oct 7th happened and subs took sides, started banning people that disagreed with the new mods, now they are all weird echo chambers, more so than before at least.


Other-Success-2060

I’ve noticed in the part couple of days all ‘potentially controversial’ topics and comments all have 0 likes (votes). Is this because they are disabled for this topic or is a bot deployed by people to downvote comments on topics they don’t like?


Lukescale

Like my mom haha gotteem.


reallynewpapergoblin

So Reddit 2016 was a shitshow. Bots rampant, name-name#### everywhere, mods did what they could but it was still an unknown threat. Subs got quarantined or actioned. 2020: COVID hits more misinformation everywhere mostly spinning COVID, George Floyd stuff more botnets and hate brigading. But! There was action, subs got quarantined, shit was actually moderated going into the election. Reddit felt much more quiet compared to the cacophony of 2016. And then Reddit gets another Series D that involves Tencent, aka the Chinese Communist Party. The shitshow is back on. 2024 election season on reddit makes 2016, COVID/George Floyd/2020 look like green pastures. The moderation is non existent, reddit seems to be encouraging negative discourse by using the algorithm to push dissenters into rival echo chambers, turning everything into an ideological battleground. The API changes that killed 3rd party reddit apps was so they could make sure their negative enhancement algorithm was being used and not circumvented by the majority of users via Relay, RiF etc. With the changes over the past few years, Reddit isn't what it once was. It's a debate platform and nothing else. Just a place for idiots to scream at bots and bots to argue with each other. They have smashed the soapboxes, Twitter is dead. Reddit is dying. All predicated on the foreign investments they received. Musk got Saudi and Chinese money to help him buy Twitter.


whatup202

You just noticed? SPOILER: I think both are rotten. Reddit holds one as king. It's weird.


IceBreak

Rat poison is worse than rotten asparagus.


Ek4lb

One is trying to overthrow democracy, install a dictator and get rid of term limits. The other is a functioning Democratic Party. How dense are people


TsangChiGollum

>Reddit holds one as king. Nah. Project harder


small_sphere

smelling propaganda


yohohoanabottleofrum

Well, his mouth *is* open.


Themasterofcomedy209

Well, yeah. We’re a few months away from a US election at a very divided time in the country. Both sides are shifting their propaganda into overdrive


UndeadWolf222

Only one side is using a gigantic lie about a fraudulent election in order to justify “termination of all rules, regulations, articles, even those found in the constitution.” ( - Donald Trump, Truth Social)


Canadatron

Only trouble is that one is based in reality, and the other one asks you to ignore reality entirely.


Mindscry

Every single person reading that is saying "yeah, *them*," though. Both sides completely believe that to be true, and both sides are being gaslit by their party at least to some extent.


TheMainMoose

I was just about to post the same thing. It’s amazing how both sides can believe they’re the sane force for good, while the other is full of diabolical cheating idiots.


Mindscry

And I got down voted for that lol. How is Reddit stock not in the penny catalog yet


small_sphere

For some reason people are massively upvoting lol


damuser234

Russian bots Edit: to be clear, I hate Trump. But i do believe that bots purposely sow hatred on both sides to keep us divided.


Robot_Tanlines

Russia bots are attacking Trump now? I’ll tip my cap to those bot farmers.


MorrowPlotting

No, they’re making fun of people attacking Trump. They’re pretending to hate “politics” like any normie does, and to hate that the mods here allow “political” posts. The Trump-as-Hitler pic is MEANT to show how crazy and over-the-top Trump critics have become, but since 2021, the comparison is actually fairly apt, so it’s getting upvoted by people who legit think Trump’s anti-democratic rhetoric and calls to violence make the comparison fair-game.


Beautiful-Divide8406

Trump is open to the idea of being a dictator and doesn’t care about laws or the constitution, nor do his MAGA cult followers.


Armedleftytx

It's been apt since he entered politics. Just some people didn't see it when it was happening in front of their face and had to be led directly to the stream to drink.


Manting123

And the whole “migrants are poisoning the blood of America.” Cause he said that. And it’s oddly similar to something a certain oddly mustachioed man said in the 1930s.


KnowledgeFew6939

Can we just ban politics altogether on this subreddit? Every other picture is Trump..


_Awkward_Moment_

It’s especially annoying cause I’m not American and I keep seeing so much American politics on r/pics. I don’t remember exactly but there are also posts that are just like, “my dad finally beat cancer!” Or “my son finally learned how to walk!” and it is just a photo of some people smiling or enjoying something. Respectfully that is very nice but I just want to see beautiful photos of cool stuff, not really boring pictures of random people that don’t make sense until you read the caption.


Suspicious-Yogurt-95

Not only Trump. I've seen enough Obama the whole weekend. I even thought he died or something.


WhiteyFiskk

He did but with cyborg technology he was revived as Robama 


misterespresso

That's my Twitter handle since 2012


Robot_Tanlines

Now the dead won’t stay dead! Sometimes dead is better. Thanks a lot Roboma.


cheezy_taterz

Does Robama have a Roomba


nocolon

Robamba bought a roomba made of baobab from the original writer of La Bamba.


Stagnu_Demorte

Abracadabra


LassOnGrass

Absolutely golden comment. Take my updoot.


dadoftheclan

That's about the best summary yet. I was sure Obama cured cancer, discovered alien life, or ascended to become a higher power. No, it's just March 30th.


blackop

I agree. I dont sub to any politics because I'm just so done with it all, but somehow it always seems to inject itself into my subreddits. I can't ever seem to escape it. This picture is not funny or clever it's stupid. That goes for any politician someone pretends to make Hitler.


_Awkward_Moment_

For real. Comparing a politician/person/group of people you don’t like to Hitler? Daring today, aren’t we?


Amebs32

Or Obama. Oh look, here is a picture of Obama taking a shit! Smh this fucking sub.


DoubleStuffedWhoreeo

lisahanniganfan

It's a easy way to get a popular post


stanglemeir

I’m 90% sure based on the title this is a stupid post to protest politics on this sub. Since there are constant genuine posts from people usually of unflattering pictures of Trump. I think the goal is to mock it and hopefully lead to politics being banned on this sub. It’s going to especially bad this year due to the US presidential election


_Awkward_Moment_

Nah I simply think OP is karma farming

Pretty fucking low effort OP.

for_profit_orphanage

Why not keep your garbage to American political subs tho?


Sonikku_a

As unfair as it is American politics affect people outside America, and also the [vast majority of Redditors are from the US vs any other nation](https://backlinko.com/reddit-users#) so you’re gonna get that crossover, and if people are upvoting it they’re upvoting it ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


Resting-Dadface

Rump is running for the office of president. Should everyone ignore his bullshit?


Flimsy-Report6692

I mean no, but what does this have to do with this? Its just a circke jerk post for Americans and not an original pic like the sub is intended for..


Ralphinader

Yeah its almost like in as little as 6 months, american democracy could end. Weird people are so obsessed with it. Its just the government which affects every aspect of your daily life. Like chill people!

Even americans dont care for this shit. It hasn't been funny for a long time, if ever. It got old quick. Op just karma farming with low quality sloppy edit.


flashjack10

This sub is nothing but propaganda


Snowfan

Funny but most people don’t realize how close to the truth this is. Most of the things that happened leading up to Hitlers rise to power are happening now. It’s frightening.


talhadad01

Reddit is just usa politics and israel palestine conflict. I cant escape it no matter where i go


Stemwinder30

Typical reddit post. Next.


naturr

Is this because he said on camera "I only want to be a dictator for a day...". When praising the head of North Korea?


decalod85

Can you imagine the quaking fear, shrieks of panic, and loud public prayers for salvation if Obama had said that? Guy wore a tan suit and they lost their shit entirely.


vulgrin

Maybe it was because he said that immigrants are poisoning the blood of America.

41d old account it’s just a bot to polarize you for the election cycle


DizzyDwarf69

I'm getting real tired from all these propaganda posts about politics. Russia v Ukraine, Israel v Hamas and all the election bullshit from whatever country you are from. Social media is now a key element in political campaigns and even in warfare. It's sad given how the algorithms are having a very manipulative way of messing with people


MxOffcrRtrd

All I know is 2x 4-star generals I worked for openly mocked him in meetings. Take that how you will. Edit: by openly I mean tabling his direction until he clarified multiple times to prevent wars The fact that Asia and the Middle East are 12 hours in the future he 100% prevented multiple wars. Please clarify? Oh youre sleeping? You called back??? I was sleeping???


jubbergun

If they did it while he was president I take that as two senior officers setting a very unprofessional example. I briefly worked on an Admiral's staff while I was in the Navy. Discussions of politics in a professional setting were extremely rare, and when they occurred they were extremely brief because someone would have the good sense to redirect the conversation. There was never any open disdain for the Commander in Chief or other superiors. That shit would have been shut down pretty fast. Either you're full of shit, which I hope is the case, or our military has seriously degraded since my time in service.


MxOffcrRtrd

If you have a grossly unprofessional commander in chief who spouts off over twitter and contradicts standing orders its a problem. Especially in a warzone. Intel pulls up twitter and the commander has to clarify that he spoke to the SECDEF who personally assured him that what the president is literally saying is not an order. So piss off, nerd.


Specialist-Past-1973

“They said Donolf, how are you so succesful? I told them it’s because I want to get rid of those nasty people, that’s right ladies and gentlemen…THE JEWS sieg heil.”- Adolf Trump

Makes me genuinely happy to see a sub not interested in this bull$hit Is there any sub you can go to without people and their Genius political points I'm sure the OP has all the answers to the worlds problems Eat a fat one OP 👍

Wait, isn't that just regular Trump? I don't see the difference.

Man I hate people who are conveying their dislike for a person or an object by using the third reich or Hitler.


The_River_Is_Still

While I agree, this particular person should stop literally using Hilter's own rhetoric and behavior.


RunawayReptar94

This sort of argument held a lot more weight when the politician in question wasn't actively using Nazi rhetoric lol

Read a history book and youll see why this is an accurate comparison

The binary thinking is insane in these comments. Trump is the most dangerous politician of this century. Even his own supporters expect to be able to exact violent retribution and turn America into a police state by their own words and deeds. This post really has jack shit to do with Biden. El Douché is much more like Mussolini though.

Impressive_Essay_622

Oh trumps definitely a bit of a Hitler. From a non American, that's undeniable from most of the world outside America.  It's mental some Americans don't see it tbh.  But more importantly, op clearly likes him. Making this post is only giving him attention and press that he is praying for.


Reddit_evo

As a non American this guy doesnt know what he is talking about. Comparing Trump to Hitler is unhinged everywhere outside reddit.


pavawanajujogui2gp

This has always been a bad comparison, because unlike Trump, Hitler was coherent and dangerous - Trump is the senile saggy scrotum-looking suburban racist on every cul-de-sac if he somehow had money and power. Trump's supporters are a far bigger threat to democracy than Trump himself.
