Ive had people on lemmy and other communities tell me the r/fuckluigimangione sub is satire but after checking its posts out since it was made and circling back to it now i am 100% convinced it is not.
The auto mod responses alone as well as the concerted effort to manipulate the narrative tell you all you need to know. For instance anytime you say his name there is a ridiculous anti L-M response, or if you say brian thompson (yuck) the automated response is just pure corpo ball gargling. If you ask if the sub is satire there is a specific automod response that explains in definitive English that the sub is 100% not satirical.
Also they are trying to spread the narrative that mangione is an alt right trump supporting racist anti trans (because supposedly brian Thompson left a legacy of promoting trans health care (you cant make this shit up)) incel? Satire should at least be so absurd its funny however this sub is just so obviously a smear campaign and pro corporate boot licking effort unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. Go check it out for yourself. It would be a shame if a bunch of people who have brains and understand whats going on in the world just bombed the shit out of their gross billionaire ball gargling bukkake fest.
Any community that gets its kicks pretending to be idiots will eventually be joined by real idiots who believe they are in good company.
The Flat Earth Society started this way, making fun of creationists.
I’m still waiting for the birds aren’t real people to go that way. It’s only a matter of time.
That’s why I’m a Last Thursdayist (we believe the world and all our memories of the past were created last Thursday)
R/TheDonald as prime example.
Well, they were joined by Russian psyops too, but the point still stands I think.
It seems they were never pretending. Just a bunch of boot rubber connoisseurs. It seems that UHC leadership might even have a direct hand in the creation of this subreddit.
So many gone that way.
It’s especially evident by the communities that started off with “edgy”/“offensive” jokes and quickly become far right echo chambers.
