It would have to involve CTH live shows, primaries, Covid, the DNC, Bernie, and the leaked CIA memo, so I can understand why it might take awhile to filter so many ideas and intentions, but I think there’s a full trove of content that could be turned into an intriguing documentary.
I really don’t think there’s that much to it, r/CTH was what many people would call a left-wing extremist subreddit, which sounds scary, and so it got banned, just like many right-wing subs get banned.
Outside of talking about killing slave owners we also regularly joked about executing people in central park and all kinds of people getting the wall and the guillotine. If you’re a reddit admin, so probably an Elon Musk stan, this is scary to you and you don’t want stuff like this on your platform. So it got banned.
Kyle Kulinski does talk about it from time to time. Not in depth though
what cia memo?
The link to the fbi memo is in the comments of this wonderful post from a couple months ago https://hexbear.net/post/30412
That little gem was neither CIA nor FBI, that’s linked to the Open Society Foundation. It’s likely that some agency or the other took clues from that “study”, ofc, but it’s not on the same level as some spooks discussing the same things as outlined in the paper. I don’t even think it was leaked, either. IIRC, it was just published normally, which is not unusual for such think tank papers.
I tried to talk to endless thread about this because they reached out to me during the george floyd protests because of a sub I mod but they eventually went with TheYellowRose instead (which was probably good. she’s great and could go the entire interview without talking about spez giving violentacrez a fucking statue for running a child porn ring. I’m just not cut out for that.)
honestly I would love to make a video about all the shit that’s gone down on reddit to make it obvious they have a specific hatred of leftist politics but I remember trying to figure out how far back to explain and never coming up with a good starting point so I just wound up with only slightly related ranting for waaay too long. Also it’d be nice to have someone else who had been on reddit for the whole time to share their perspective on it too because especially when it comes to relaying the entire political history of reddit I am far from an unbiased observer and it’d be nice to at least have some corroboration.
Here is my analysis, please, this is just a rough draft, I haven’t finalized anything. And also I’m not a yeastuber
