It's probably state and political organizations trying to influence the election by implicitly trashing the democrats, there are farms of memers from conservative countries and organizations trying to imply that the democrats are the authoritarian party to rattle the cages of voters.

it happened in 2016 and 2020, and every American intelligence agency has been publicly cautioning voters for years that electoral manipulation through indirect methods like memes and social media posts are definitely being perpetrated by unfriendly countries and is only increasing.

It's a pretty interesting story that not many people talk about, but a lot of political memes on the internet are supplied by foreign state actors willfully trying to influence American elections, and in the case of 2016, successfully affected the outcome of the American election for the conservatives according to intelligence agencies.

Jeez I'm just some rando reminding yanks they are genociders for free. How stupid is this? I'm just appaled by war crimes and you guys threat to invade the haag.

But now I'm learning I could get paid to insult yanks? Sounds like a great job. Would you have the address of a recruiter or something? I need a side-hussle.

The McCarthidiots are really out there saying all criticism of america's action must come from some siberian call centers lmao

Yes I'm currenlty in vladivostok. We're eating caviar and cocain using kalashnikov as forks.

Idiot McCarthist lmao

Nah seriously, I'm just a random dude. I wish I was paid to do this, it sounds like a nice gig.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 3 hours ago (3 children)

"Idiot McCarthist lmao"

haha, dude, people are only calling you an idiot because you are literally posting objectively false information.

consider what you're saying before you write comments so demonstrably false or proven incorrect so easily.

you'll stop sounding dumb very quickly the less you write.

This is not trashing democrats, and republicans would be worse. This is trashing all the ignorant peopel who don't understand the difference.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 7 hours ago (2 children)

"all the ignorant peopel"

you only feel like an idiot because you don't know what you're talking about, don't beat yourself up about it.

But no, I'm doing it for sheer hate of the yanks. You guys suck ass. My gf have friends in gaza and lebannon. Your israelis are bombing her with US made bombs. So fuck you, twat. You are surely innocent, looking at yourself as the good person. You are not. I wish you get drafted and sent to the middle east to get butchered like so many did. That would teach you to support the american military complex. Fuck you.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

yea, i get it, enjoy your pennies.

"You are surely innocent"

well yeah, I don't even pay American taxes.

"You are not"

Yes I am, we just went over that.

"I wish you get drafted and sent to the middle east to get butchered like so many did."

what are you- oh, butchered like the hundreds of thousands of Russian casualties so far.

i get it.

that would be terrible!

enjoy the 17 cents or whatever you're making today.
