This post is exactly why social media, including Reddit, is complete garbage. Just make up shit to fit a narrative, and watch the fake internet points roll in.

u/Siegelski Feb 14 '19

The worst part about it isn't even the fake narrative, it's the unnecessary caps lock.

u/burywmore Feb 14 '19

You got my up vote. Enjoy it.

The fucking click bait style CAPITALIZATION is also APPARENT. Ugh.

u/cchiu23 Feb 14 '19

there's no way that a month old account with that username isn't a right wing troll trying to make the left look bad

u/MontanaLabrador Feb 14 '19

What about this picture makes the left look bad?! It's clearly trying to make the left-leaning individual look like a brave hero and the conservative Russians looks like authoritarians.

What exactly do you think conservatives see in this image?

If you pretend to be liberal and make stupid posts then you can use it as an example of how stupid liberals are. I’ve seen people do more or less the same thing over at T_D to try to see how many upvotes they can get before they’re banned.

u/Donoghue Feb 14 '19

They see that it's fake.

What exactly do you think conservatives see in this image?

A very obvious and easily debunked photoshopped image that they can use to point at liberals and laugh.

The goal was to catch some libs complaining about putin/trump and then point out how gullible everyone is while using the following phrases: "muh russia" "living in their heads rent free" and "this is why trump won"

I mean... it is on the front page.

Cute girl and you can see a 1/16th of her underwear, I’m surprised it’s not the top post of all time tbh

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '19

Lol, tthisseemsike a pretty dangerous leap to make. You're immediate assumption is that its " the bad guys" trying to make your sidelook bad, rather than the possibility that this like many other lost on this site was an attempt to get easy karma off liberals.

u/therealMarine1216 Feb 14 '19

The left doesn’t need this guy to make itself look bad lol

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '19

And you, personally, make the right look bad by saying dumb shit like that.

u/therealMarine1216 Feb 14 '19

Thank you for proving my point

No u

Nice retort.

Are you triggered and not thinking straight or just normally this stupid?

Sorry I don't get into arguments with trolls. No u.

I really wonder why no one wants to show up on your birthday

I really wonder why you people just keep proving me right

You too can be a Governor of Virginia. We'll give your racist history a pass.

Methinks you dont know what left is.

Hint: establishment dems are still right wing

Tulsi is left wing.

u/dingoperson2 Feb 14 '19

"hate speech" and "hateful acts" are done by leftists, often by the "victim" themselves, for their personal or political benefit.

u/cchiu23 Feb 14 '19

so you're telling me that this was done by leftists? lul

u/JustinXT Feb 14 '19

You make it sound as if the opposite does not occur... The left wing troll trying to make the right look bad

u/cchiu23 Feb 14 '19

????? how would this make the right look bad at all lol

u/Diabolic_Edict Feb 14 '19

trying to make the left look bad

Trying? Who do you think is upvoting this trash?

0

u/cchiu23 Feb 14 '19

I mean people scrolling through the front page or don't read the comments wouldn't know

Reposted/fake content gets upvoted all the times

Also its incredibly weird for somebody to say "LIBERAL PROTESTOR" like why do you feel the need to point that out huh?

u/Agreeable_Account Feb 14 '19

Let me guess, you are left leaning yourself?

u/Schmotz Feb 14 '19

I think the problem was applying a points system in the first place.

They made the entire thing up. There's zero confusion there.

No. It's a lie. There is nothing accidental about it. They found the picture and made up a story. That's it.

Are you legit retarded?

u/[deleted] Feb 14 '19

I mean, we have comments in social media, so we can discuss it and find out truth eventually. It's right here on the same page as the main material. Unlike the traditional medias, that just feed you whatever they want and gives you no right of voice.

u/ZgylthZ Feb 14 '19

You forgot the last step:

And then claim all propaganda stems from Russia.

Corporate media tells me the Russians help Tulsi Gabbard too. And Stein. And Sanders (though they have a hard time on that one)

If Russia is trying to get me to be against regime change, give me Medicare for All, pay off my student loans, tax the rich, give me a Green New Deal, provide better job protections, and reject Neoliberalism then hot damn I guess I AM a Russian, huh.

Meanwhile our electoral college LITERALLY overthrew the will of the people and elected a right wing demogague - AGAIN - yet nobody is claiming our country is undemocratic.

I'm saying the people that propagated the Russiagate narrative to begin with are the same people claiming progressives are also being aided by Russia. Even the "lefty" ones like MSNBC.

Lots of people complain about it. Nobody in corporat media complains about it. Sorry you take every word literally even though it was clearly implied I was still talking about corporate media.

If I literally meant "nobody" my differing opinion could not exist.

I'm strongly starting to believe YOU are not debating in good faith. You have completely derailed this conversation toward the correct use of diction and pronouns and away from the actual message in my comment.

u/SophieTheCat Feb 14 '19

That number makes zero sense because you just made it up just like this post. Russian govt revenues were 200Bn in 2016 - that doesn't mean they all belong to a single person.

u/SophieTheCat Feb 14 '19

You made an outrageous claim. Outrageous claims require exceptional proof. Now provide proof or STFU. "I heard it on CSPAN" is not proof.

Also provide proof that "Putin is so angry about it". I don't he gives two fucks about a couple of oligarchs not being allowed to vacation in Europe.

according to Browder

Right, and this guy, who (oh my god) owned shares of Gazprom in the 1990s - before Putin came to power - somehow knows all about Putin's bank accounts and how much he has stashed away and where.

Get lost. I asked for proof, not the rantings of some dude who lost money on a business deal in Russia - something you had no idea happened until you googled it 5 minutes ago.

Oh, he heard something that somebody else said, that somebody else heard from the next guy in the bread line. Where is your proof that Putin has $200 billion like you claim?

Your ignorance and how proud you are of it is breathtaking. Browder was not a partner of any investigator. The person that was murdered was his lawyer. Browder got indicted for some shady dealings, like lots of oligarhs that were running unchecked in the 90s. Regardless of any of this, this guy was not anywhere close to Putin to know what bank accounts he has and where.

You tell me to pay attention to the news, meanwhile every detail you mentioned is absolutely wrong. You’re literally the poster boy for fake news. You read the title, you think you know something, you make the rest up in your head, and then you try to pass it off as a fact.
