probing r/conspiracy

5  2012-12-24 by wang5054

I've noticed a lot of self posts lately that go something like "how does r/conspiracy feel about subject x?" In my opinion, there have been numerous threads with the purpose of feeling out the community on a specific subject. I know that the best way to find information is to ask, but it seems that these self posts arent looking for facts so much as they are opinions of this subs userbase. Something to consider.

yes, the purpose is to out any agitators.

What does that mean? Do you mean to out someone who promotes disinformation or something like that?

Watch for comments which are inciting violence.

You created your profile 39 minutes ago....

Do you think he has a hidden goal with his question and if so what is the goal?

long time first time

ok wong

Hey, wait a minute. Are you inferring that... FOR INSTANCE:

Known white supremacists on reddit would use a sock puppet account to ask something like, "Hey I just saw an amazing youtube about how the Holocaust didn't happen, why can't we talk about this ARE YOU CHICKENS?" to create a nice little echo-chamber thread filled with all the usual suspects?

I don't know but try this:

  • Download and install reddit enhancement suite. It will allow you to tag users.

  • Go to a thread about Holocaust denial and tag all the highest scored posters. They will be the ones that really have this "Holocaust never happend," rhetoric down to a script. Don't be shy, tags are free.

  • Observe how they post, where they post and what they post about for a the next few months.

  • Make up your own mind about how /r/conspiracy subversion.

You can do this for any group you would like to monitor but the Neo-Nazis are the easiest to find. Alternately you can decide that you are okay with aligning yourself with Fascist wannabes and hate groups.

It's your subreddit after all

tttt0tttt

Well aren't you just the little fascist policeman. A person would have to be addled in the brain to waste his time doing what you suggest. Why not just read what you want, and post what you want, instead of worrying what others are posting?

Thank you, tttt0tttt!

I show people how to come to their own conclusions. No different than teaching people to read a hidden code... and HERE COME THE NEO NAZIS to call me a fascist policeman and bury my post.

You realize I never asked anyone to do anything but know what your people are up to, right tttt0tttt?

hm. That's kind of interesting isn't it? You guys just can't help yourselves.

Heil Hitler

Shalom!

I just tagged you as, "wants to tag nazis," after seeing pretty much this post for the second time in a few minutes.

I think there are an unusual (normal?) amount of threads being redirected to this subject to discredit the community. Thanks for the info tho

Valid observation, I'm sure there is some of that. Keep watching, reading and learning. My pleasure and Happy Holidays

Let's see, what would a true "White Supremacist" group look like?

They would most likely control the issuance of money. Then of course they would control the news media and entertainment. Through their financial and media power they could control the political process.

Those White Supremacists would run the Federal Reserve, Wall Street, Big News Media, Hollywood and determine Foreign Policy.

Sure.

Then there is always /r/WhiteRights, where you are a mod. Stormfront.org where most of you come from. Those count too right? I just want to be clear.

Want to know why I became a White Rights Advocate? It is because Jewish extremists are waging a war on white nations and cultures. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k2Vq_e2Z1ug

I don't come from Stormfront. I came to understanding of the Zionist Crime Syndicate through my own research into 9/11.

I grew up a Kennedy Democrat. I still believe JFK was a great leader.

Disingenuous. You can fight your hypothetical zionist crime syndicate safely away from white supremacy. More likely you are a white supremacist justifying your hatred of Jews to a target audience amiable to your message.

Doesn't matter to me. I don't want to debate or fix you. I just want you and your pals out in the open on this subreddit.

you won't debate with him because he uses legit sources like YouTube videos.

For only being a redditor for 3 hours you sure know a lot about this sub. http://www.reddit.com/user/TheJesuits

BTW, I was also raised in a Catholic family in the midwest.

Yeah, go figure that. God's mysteries I guess.

Interesting how many Catholics there are in the midwest, what with the Ku Klux Klan murdering so many back in the day.

Uh oh, Wikipedia scrubbed the part about Bernard Baruch's father being a KKK leader. Pretty soon they will have to take down his entire Wiki page.

"South Carolina had been so accepting of Jews that even the original Ku Klux Klan took them in. In his autobiography Bernard Baruch describes digging in a trunk in the attic, and discovering under his father's confederate uniform, "a white hood and long robe with crimson cross on it's breast - the regalia of a Knight of the Ku Klux Klan."

Is Wikipedia a reliable source?

Look who edits most things related to that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIYhE-hei2Y

The previous Baruch Wiki information was from his own book.

Jews sure hate me, this I know, cause a YouTube tells me so. Actually the sources attributed at the bottom of the Holocaust article doesn't list Miriam Schwab so we are cool.
