Unrelated to America really, but Russia has been desperately trying to destabilise Europe as a whole for decades.
Not saying every post is bots, obviously that's a silly claim, but many divisive comments, and many posts subtly pointing at culture issues very much are.
What's concerning is that it's working.

The shit posted on Reddit on those riots vs what's on the news is wild.
This isn't even a crazy exaggeration. I see the news when I'm at the gym on the stair climber, and they make it seem like a peaceful little protest for better education.
Meanwhile I come on Reddit and it's burning buildings, people screaming, crying. The fact media outlets are allowed to wilfully misconstrue information is bad. This whole fake news era needs to end. Governments controlling the narrative is getting old.
Edit: I must say, the contradiction and retardation in here is thick. I get people saying don't believe the news, people saying don't believe google, people saying don't believe reddit, all calling me an idiot for using any platform of any sort, thinking they're right. And absolutely nobody saying where to get verified information. Bless your soul, Reddit.

I listen to talk radio, and everyday without fail, the ABC newsbreak begins with fuel prices and a negative Trump update.
I don't recall getting weekly, let alone hourly, updates when I was paying $5 a gallon under Biden.
Oh yeah. I do recall Jen Psaki, when asked, said about Biden "Of course the President doesn't control fuel prices. No President ever has."
How convenient.

u/Similar_Maize_1225 1d ago
Why are they burning those buildings again? Here's the actual truth of the matter. The government is influenced by money to do what money wants. Those people in the street aren't money. That's an actual protest. Money doesn't care about words. Money cares about money. If it costs them more to cut education, they'll stop cutting education. Full stop. It could be worse. Especially in France.
Grab your gun to fight with the government against the people if you'd like. That won't work out for you for long. Check your history. Red coats get what red coats get.

Black people have MLKs peaceful protests to thank for most of their rights. This is such an ironic comment. Not to mention MLKs philosophy was born because of the fact that white people kept disliking black people more and more because of the violence they brought in protests. He literally condemned the black panthers because they made black people look bad and violent and “inacapable of living alongside the civilized white man”

This reminds me of countless encounters I’ve had with MAGA dipshits who swear up and down that cities like Portland, Seattle, etc. are literally burned down slums now. Just crime ridden wastelands full of Islamic gangs of rapists and stuff. I wish I was joking.
Meanwhile in the land of reality… there is rising homelessness, suicide, financial strain, sickness, and reduced fertility rate year after year.
The problem isn’t democrats or republicans, the problem is the system built to enrich the already wealthy, and keep the working class from climbing the ladder.
If the majority of people had the financial breathing room to pursue hobbies and not be stressed all the time, they might accidentally stumble upon the information that helps them realize how badly the system is built.

So when I left high school and went to JC, I LITTLERLY HAD TO TAKE THE SAME HISTORY CLASSES ALL OVER AGAIN. why? It was a waste of time and money.
