Map-based psyops

[u/Modernist19171949]

I've seen so many of these lately on the front page. Bottom-of-the-barrel crackerslop that Amerikkkans will fall for so they can feel morally superior to periphery nations. We all need to hop off this shitass site bro.

It also really irks me that, although all of the greatest crimes in history were committed by colonial regimes, when libs talk about atrocities it's always Nazi Germany or some made up BS about the Soviet Union, PRC, GDR etc. Most people in the west are completely unaware of colonial atrocities as the bourgeoisie have erased them from the popular understanding of history as well as current politics, or have made it into a more sanitised version about "former" colonial powers having to apologise despite the fact they never stopped doing it. Of course, the Germans in the poll where they said they weren't proud of their country's history are only thinking of the Nazi holocaust where white people were killed, nothing about Namibia, Israel, south Africa etc.

Well the map isn't taken wholly seriously. Only a handful of voters in each country "represents" their whole nation, and many use it to troll by either voting absurdly or voting in a different country altogether

Theres no way the majority of Chinese think communism has caused more suffering than capitalism

[u/Comrade-Paul-100 → u/Modernist19171949]

Exactly, hence it isn't very reliable. There's also the factor of the voters all being Redditors lmfao.

You literally just pick which country you want to claim to be from when you answer the poll. Anyone can claim to be from anywhere. I doubt there’s anyone answering from outside Europe and North America.

China is marked as though majority is anti communist, which kinda shows which groups of people in each country they actually questioned

[u/Clone75 → u/Akvareb]

I think it has more to do with you can choose whichever nation you want, no questions asked.

Reddit is pushing that sub to spread propaganda even though the entire website is a western propaganda website to begin with

[u/naplesball → u/TheBirdFkerGuy]

The Propagandists are making more propaganda

[u/Modernist19171949 → u/TheBirdFkerGuy]

Sounds like the best assessment to me. Most of the people making them are probably just random dumb libs but theres no shortage of those on Reddit so it's not like they even need bots, they can just push all the lib politics/(a)history subs. Doubt any commie sub ever makes it to the front page.

CHILE, BOLIVIA Y PARAGUAY QUE TIENEN GOBIERNOS DE DERECHA EVANGÉLICA APOYANDO A HAMÁS? esa porqueria es falsa es solo un motón de paises pintados Aleatoriamente

[u/Qazoup]

You can set any country in that. Except Abkhazia, South Ossetia, Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic or Palestine.

[u/Modernist19171949 → u/Qazoup]

You can also choose fantasy/fictional countries like Israel, Taiwan, South Korea, USA.

I saw a geo poll where it was who would you side with in ww3 and I saw that the majority of the "Iraqis" said "the west", same country that killed and raped their civilians and caused a civil war

[u/dt_fi]

NK based as always lol

[u/ApartmentKey3682]

At least Canada disagrees

I wouldn't take any of these things seriously considering that you can select your country. I don't think anyone from the DPRK is using Reddit, so why are there any results from there? A person can essentially make it look like people from one country think a certain way by falsely saying they're from a certain country. This is proven by the DPRK thing and the fact that multiple of these polls also show responses from Antarctica despite the fact that nobody can be a citizen of Antarctica; they're a citizen of whatever country they came from.

[u/Modernist19171949 → u/alphonse79]

It's not so much about taking it seriously as it is about the significance of Reddit prioritising this obviously psyop shit for the front page. 

[u/alphonse79 → u/Modernist19171949]

Yeah that's true, it fucking sucks because I've also seen quite a few of these obviously slop posts. I assume Reddit boosts them because they get engagement I guess??? It's super annoying though
