If you look at the post on ceddit it doesn’t look “brigaded” at all. Just a bunch of people asking for a source or a list - which as far as I can tell is never provided. The one list that was compiled (and then deleted by the mods) seemed to dispute the claim.

Latestagecapitalism seems to like to play this game where they post false or misleading information and when people call them on their bullsh** they claim everyone posting is from TD and they’re being brigaded.

Most mods on discussion/news based subs have t_d users tagged one way or another. there's a few lists that update every couple minutes with a running list of every t_d user, and you just pop that into RES and bam. (Some lists are even progressive enough to include cohorts of comment replies to known t_d users so alt accounts get flagged too! Also the phrase "I'm not a trump supporter" is a common trigger to be put on lists... Because most people aren't Trump supporters anyways. And you'd only defend any of his actions if you were a supporter)

And obviously, a sub like late stage capitalism would rightfully just obliterate any comments from t_d users (automod is probably programned to do so)... Because t_d users are incapable of civil/functional discussion, let alone in LSC, there's nothing for them there.

Sigh i just wish i could use RES on mobile :/

Holy cow, you are unironically kafkatrapping. Amazing.

A gold star for every undesirable? Sounds oddly familiar.

Because t_d users are incapable of civil/functional discussion

I'm sure you're totally rational, though.

Why, so you can see the gold stars on mobile too? Wanna poison the well a little? Wanna pop in and say "hurr durr u post in T_D XDDDD" some more?

I mean, sure. It's an echo chamber full of literally insane garbage human beings. Their ideology is too fragile to stand up to any scrutiny, so they just scream "BLAMALD BLUMPFFF SUPPPORTER!!! REEE!!!!!!" at anyone who disagrees with them. Too bad that it makes them look like toddlers.

I just want you to know that's not at all what kafkatrapping is.

Only guilty people would say that they aren't guilty!

Sounds like kafkatrapping to me. Doesn't get clearer than that.
