People need to understand how conservative extremists, racists, 4chan, “intellectual dark web” new Joe Rogan fans, “men’s rights” and đ “just asking questions” đ Republican influencers use these tactics on Reddit
Lots of screenshots of 4chan instructions for this:

Conservatives brag about brigading local subreddits to “control the narrative” about liberal cities and “blue states” and every local subreddit shares the abuse they get:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/pmcoxy/uinconvenientnews_explains_with_examples_how/
- https://www.reddit.com/r/Seattle/comments/pmdp2m/ysk_how_right_wing_trolls_brigade_and_infiltrate/
- https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/om5xda/when_did_this_become_a_crime_subreddit/
- https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/pbi4mp/shouldnt_rbayarea_join_the_subs_calling_for/
Every local subreddit explaining the abuse and tactics on a thread 3 years ago:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/comments/7jkybf/t_d_user_suggests_infiltrating_minnesota/dr7m56j/
Reddit Admins just posted that COVID deniers have been brigading regional subreddits
- https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/pg290q/reddit_admins_just_posted_that_covid_deniers_have/
Anti-mask posts suddenly dropped this week in r/bayarea when mods removed outside conservative accounts brigading r/bayarea:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/p8hnzl/automatically_removing_comments_from_new_users_in/
Local mods only banning people who call out the abuse but not banning the actual abusers:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/bayarea/comments/pbi4mp/shouldnt_rbayarea_join_the_subs_calling_for/
A lot of the local subreddit mods’ accounts show they live in Texas and when they get called out they claim some sort of ancestry to the local subreddit (New York City, Bay Area, Portland, wherever)  ̄\ďźż(ă)ďźż/ ̄
- “Texas-based hate group source of 80% of all U.S. racist propaganda tracked in 2020” https://www.reddit.com/r/bestof/comments/p5gs14/after_gop_takes_down_2020_page_touting_trumps/h95wbct/
One Texas conservative alone in r/sanfrancisco was like 10 different accounts with all having a history of identical conservative talking points (some with comments about living in Texas) and sometimes pretending to be annoying woke strawman “S J W” in local subreddits so that his own alts can reply with black crime talking points
One “Californian” who posted about every local crime story, even every whale death, also posted about how he lives in Vegas, grew up in Texas, and has proudly never been to California  ̄\ďźż(ă)ďźż/ ̄ https://knowyourmeme.com/photos/2147236-starter-packs
“As a black man” accounts like “The Atheist Arab” posting as many race-baiting videos as they can concern trolling pretending to care about Asian victims:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/TheRightCantMeme/comments/nztt4t/they_really_like_getting_angry_at_their/h1teq3c/?context=1
“red pill” adults cosplaying as “based” teenagers “hiding their power level” in r PoliticalCompassMemes and edgy “fellow youths amirite” meme subreddits like r dankmemes:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/o4kfej/reddit_admins_warn_moderators_of/h2idtk5/?context=3
“as a cool LGBTQ, I’m sick of pro-LGBTQ things like you are”
- These are the most upvoted post on unpopularopinions monthly:
There is no reason to be proud to be gay. : unpopularopinion
15.6k votes, 2.7k comments.I’m Bisexual and I hate the LGBT community : unpopularopinion
Im not proud to be gay. : unpopularopinion
I’m gay, and i support straight pride. : unpopularopinion
Unpopular opinion: it’s okay to call things gay : unpopularopinion
I don’t like the LGBT movement : unpopularopinion
That’s assuming it’s in good faith and just upvoted by a majority of Reddit who aren’t LGBT or black  ̄\ďźż(ă)ďźż/ ̄
Ahh so the ‘free speech’ crowd is making sure no one else can be heard as usualâŚ
They also pretend to be annoying woke strawman “S J W” in local subreddits:
- https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/obes1i/my_phone_was_snatched_out_of_my_hand_on_market/h3nnvrb/
Pretending to be annoying woke leftist mods:

2. After the call went out on 4chan, a network of new Twitter accounts run by white supremacists pretending to be Jews popped up. Often, they masquerade as Orthodox Jews, Israelis and/or Jewish leftists. They all follow each other and promote anti-Semitic and anti-Israel content. pic.twitter.com/rA2cFBm8jW
