I ventured over to the website "disboard" to try to find more online friends that are at least slightly left of "hunting the poors for sport"
I came across "Leftist Alternative" and I'm 99% convinced this was a fed honeypot
https://disboard.org/server/1085633149540777994
I answered all of their "prerequisite/verification" questions. Mostly my answers were of the variety of "Amerikkka imperializes the planet for the 1%" and "it's not the left vs right, it's the 99% vs the 1%"
They gave me a LOT of push-back for not acknowledging the "genocide" in China. But it really went downhill when I said that the imperialism of Ukraine by both USA and the Russian was/is a fairly nuanced topic.
Obama Admits US Role in Ukraine Overthrow
Pro-US, Nazi-glorifying government
Ultranationalism, anti-semitism, neo-nazi pogroms, and attacks on LGBT groups.
Ultimately I ended with, "Every war is a banker's war" and included I was against any/all imperialist movements (including Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Haiti, Congo, Liberia, and Sudan), but I could definitely see why NATO advancing, despite saying they wouldn't move a single inch towards Moscow, would incite a push from Russia to get their old trade buddy back (not to mention Blackrock/JPM front-running grain futures before the invasion and then vying to steal the mineral rights away from Ukraine in exchange to build it back up)
This really set the feds off..
"OH YOU HATE JEWS DO YA?" - 'Leftist' Alternative
"Wait... huh?" - Me
"A 'Bankers' War Huh??? We could just tell you were an anti-Semite"
"Are you insinuating.. that all Bankers are... jewish?" - Me
It immediately devolved into ad-hominems from the "lefties" so I left that right-wing hell-hole :(
Is Every "Leftist" Discord a Fed Honeypot?
Or are the lib really just that deeply ingrained at this point?
Edit: Missed an end "
We only have Discord for voip, chat room and screen share, we dont know or use any other thing, and I guess my friends dont care that much about changing to something new. Is it that bad? And Im saying this by only using the program to talk to my close friend group of 5, never bothered with anything else so Im sure Im blind to the problems.
You can try out matrix. The element client is a good choice since it mimics a lot of Discord's design. You don't know a lot of these things until you try it out for the first time and you may be pleasantly surprised.
I will try it myself yeah, but convincing my friends is gonna be hard.
