I’m captivated by reddit’s r/Popular tab because it’s an obviously curated list of artificially boosted posts that editors want users to see. The tab provides a glimpse into the marketing and social engineering efforts that have been intensifying since anons started flooding reddit in 2013.
Here are some of the trends.
COVID ROUNDUP
The vaccines are causing irregular menstrual issues. How will reddit deal with this? By reframing the issue in terms of the cultural war, that is, as a byproduct of doctors privileging “Caucasian males” and ignoring women’s health.
But remember, you’re a lunatic to question the efficacy of the vaccines by analyzing subpopulation outcomes.
Also, F*CK YOU MOM
Get tested!
FOREIGN POLICY ROUNDUP
Let’s see what’s important to never forget today.
Which experts should we trust on foreign policy? Neocons like Francis Fukuyama, of course.
Don’t forget CHYNA!
PEER GROUP SOCIAL ENGINEERING ROUNDUP
By far the most fascinating aspect of reddit is the obvious program designed to control behavior through peer shaming and selection for ingroup light triad traits and outgroup dark triad traits. Today I’ll only focus on peer shaming.
Reddit is hyper-focused on portraying white people as trashy and in need of civilizing shaming rituals. I wouldn’t disagree with this method if it was truly universal, but reddit’s approach is obviously designed to target white people and balkanize the population.
“Karen” is a racial epithet for entitled white women. Reddit does not like them!
Get your shit together, moms!
White woman prole CHIMPS OUT on camera!
A subreddit dedicated to “Wedding Shaming” promoted on Popular. TLDR.
Check out this trashy Celt (non-R1b). They’re shouting Celtic BIX NOOD language at each other.
This “TotalPieceOfShit” obese white woman is doing something shameful.
Here’s some TLDR about how to properly socialize. Sounds like you should be learning to socialize from Ted Talks, just like Christopher Lasch wanted.
GLOBAL WARMING COMING DOWN ANY MOMENT TRUST THE PLAN
Given the Ukraine sanctions, it’s a bit difficult to disambiguate the global warming doom conditioning from the war propaganda. Suffice to say that you should be terrified about what’s coming.
Reddit hates Christians but trust the Pope.
THESE CULTURE WARS ARE MAKING ME DISTRACTED
Reddit is laser-focused on economic and environmental issues.
Labor justice served!
MISCELLANEOUS
Substack is telling me this post is too long for email so here’s some other trends I’ve observed.
