You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping.

you're not helping! Why is that?

    Seems unlikely.

    I don't understand the desire on the left to pretend there are no clout chasers that take up left causes just for clout, I guess it's easier to pretend everyone that does a bad thing while being vaguely aligned with us is "controlled opposition" than to think critically or even just read the article.

    Occupy might have been different I wasn't there but I suspect 95% of the wild anecdotal shit either didn't happen or was done by a leftist who believed some dumb shit.

    Can the BBC stop framing Gaza as an issue that only Muslims care about?

    We saw in the US that a lot of the core volunteers that go out knock doors simply don't bother when the party asking them to is unwilling or unable to sufficiently oppose a genocide.

    UK politics is somewhat different as everything is so centralized and filtered through a Westminster media bubble but we'll see what happens if Labour can't win back the trust of its membership in a post-Starmer era and taking stronger positions on Gaza is part of that (even if the general public are fine with deprioritizing Gaza)

    Epstein litterally encourage 4chan to setup /pol/ all the edgy men's rights guys have clearly been getting played to provide cover for pedophiles and they're all too stupid to see the irony or one of them would take that edge to do something about it.

    • The recommended subreddits are all just repost farms where people pretend not to get the joke or repost videos with less context each time
    • The games they put into the mobile view are fun for about 1 play but now they are half my feed
    • my local subreddit is so obviously being astroturfed in preparation for November that you normal users are calling it out

    It seems like on all fronts Reddit is getting so much worse.

    But is it getting worse faster or is it just because I have a new account and I took the bait and interacted with dumb features?

    I got banned by AI about a month ago, being the sucker that I am, I created a new account, so I'm not 100% if this is the experience new redditors get/want or if it's being pushed on everyone.
