******Official politics thread ******

its like we're on the internet, all this stuff is public, it's a well known thing that chinese bot-nets are increasing view counts and upvotes and likes and retwats and whatever on pro democrat especially pro environmentalism posts. you can go right to the follower's list of any minor left wing figure and see the accounts in their followers' list. you can use ceddit and see what posts are and aren't being removed from reddit. and you can f5 4/8chan for a day and see what kinds of things get removed. if you sell an instagram or twitter page with a lot of followers all your buyers are going to be chinese and there's a solid chance the page will turn into something to do with politics. etc. anyone can do it. it's not really that hard to figure out there's massive chinese subversion of our elections. we won anyways. maga.

im trying to figure out which trump rallies didn't have entire stadiums attending, obviously they were all russian bots that's why his events were barren and hillary's were thriving. he stole the election from her. that poor old woman.

tRump at it again stealing the election with his multi trillionaire voting machine company owning friends

idk how people can care so much about one and not the other. especially when china's so non-transparent about it. how many groups of paid full time shitposters represent pro-trump superpacs? probably zero. how many paid fulltime shitposters represent democratic superpacs funded directly by the chinese (shareblue etc)? thousands. how many of these people are major reddit mods, reddit admins, 4chan mods, 8chan mods? lots of chinese paid democrat shills. not really any russian funded alt-right ones.

what legions of bot accounts are commenting, upvoting, and increasing views for trump posts on reddit, youtube, facebook, twitter? it's plain as day obviously happening with pro democrat posts but i've never really seen it happen with a right wing story. etc.

How exactly are environmental regulations self-crippling? Ignoring global warming completely, do you want to live in a toxic wasteland where we can't tell industries they aren't allowed to spew mercury and carcinogenic organic compounds into the atmosphere around our cities, that they can't saturate our watersheds with dioxin, PCBS, lead, and xenoestrogens? Do you have any idea how many people die or live miserable lives in China due to heavy industrial pollution? Or how many people died and continue to die in the US die to lung conditions from the use of coal for energy?

Coal wasn't killed by environmental regulations, it was killed by automation and natural gas. And as far as our reliance on petroleum, it's hardly self-limiting to eliminate or at least diminish our dependence on Arabs and other primitives and hostile states for the fuel that powers our economy -- which is going to be functionally depleted within a few hundred years anyway.... not that you give a fuck about anyone other than yourself, but that's the reality. And then you put global warming on top of that.

At this point the only self-crippling environmental regulations are those which continue the wanton destruction and poisoning of our habitat, ie, using the government to bail out the failed coal industry as a political favor because West Virginians and rural Pennsylvanians are too stupid to find other work.

And if you were wondering who was behind all the paid shilling during this last election, just look at which powers stood to benefit most from Trump beating Clinton -- Israel and Russia.

What can I say? That was the narrative of many of these communities during the election-- an unwillingness or inability to find other work in the face of the death of their industry. So they prostrate themselves before Trump hoping he'll use the government to bail them out.

How else would you describe it? Am I supposed to feel pity for these bumpkins whose indigence and lack of resilience is a driving force for the resurrection of a cancerous, murderous industry? Spreading lies and doubt about climate science to suit their own ends?

I feel pity for people whose situation is out of their control, not these fuckers.

Things don't work in polarized extremes, no matter how much corporate kool aid you drink. You could protect the environment just as well, if not BETTER (no need to hire as many lawyers) by simplifying environmental regulations. If you've ever bothered reading one they're insane. Now imagine being the owner of a 5 man small business trying to manage a building project. Large businesses can afford to contract lawyers and specialists to handle these things -- and it's money well spent because it destroys the chance of new competition in the form of a small business ever having a chance to rise to the level where they could afford the same. Illegal immigration and small business works much the same, as does Obamacare. Three major issues being pushed by democrats which cripple US industry and provide minimal to zero, sometimes even negative gains to whatever they're trying to solve.

Environmental regulations hardly protect the environment one bit. They largely halt building projects.

The world doesn't turn into a toxic wasteland because you abolish the fucking EPA, hahahhahaa holy shit do you really live in a world where inside your own headcanon that's reality? what an out of touch person you are. I really can't say anything more about this than you're entirely out of touch with reality.

making more regulations, and making them more convoluted longer and harder to understand doesn't help the environment. nice fantasy but it's obvious as hell you've never had to work with EPA regulations in your life.

Coal wasn't killed by environmental regulations, it was killed by automation and natural gas. And as far as our reliance on petroleum, it's hardly self-limiting to eliminate or at least diminish our dependence on Arabs and other primitives and hostile states for the fuel that powers our economy -- which is going to be functionally depleted within a few hundred years anyway.... not that you give a fuck about anyone other than yourself, but that's the reality. And then you put global warming on top of that.

I never said anything about coal. Also global warming debunks itself. You're supposed to call it climate change theory now, global warming was debunked and abandoned by the left several years ago nobody uses that buzzword anymore.

At this point the only self-crippling environmental regulations are those which continue the wanton destruction and poisoning of our habitat, ie, using the government to bail out the failed coal industry as a political favor because West Virginians and rural Pennsylvanians are too stupid to find other work.

LOL what the fuck are you even trying to say here. what an obtuse way to make a non-point.

And if you were wondering who was behind all the paid shilling during this last election, just look at which powers stood to benefit most from Trump beating Clinton -- Israel and Russia.

or maybe look at which ones have been actually caught funding superPAC's - China

[Xaanka]

imagine living in a world where you're so stupid you believe everything CNN tells you

[Xaanka]

hm yes, 4chan reddit 8chan facebook and twitter's algorithms, staff and botnets definitely favor Trump there's absolutely no way the chinese government funded david brock's superpacs which infiltrated the staff of every social media platform to censor alt-right stories, allow chinese botnets to increase the popularity and reach of left-wing propaganda , and artificially make left-wing figures seem to have more of an influence than they do.

man the comment section on my local news is just FULL of those alt-right russian botnets posting pro Trump comments to everything.
