I would argue the Bannon one doesn't belong with the Musk one. Bannon is an ass, but that clip is not a sieg heil imo.So I was informed that the Bannon full clip is far more damning than this gif and it is far worse. here it is for non-Americans who are interested. Don't be like me and give these people the benefit of the doubt, they don't deserve it.
The guy above him (idk who that is) is borderline what could have plausible deniability. It does look sus, but if you said he's sending his heart to the audience, it's hard to fully debate, the gesture is slow and he does actively grasp at his heart first. But he does extend the hand like a sieg heil.Not commenting about this one but I'm sure it's pretty bad as well.The Musk one is 100% a sieg heil and anyone claiming it isn't is being dishonest.

I saw the Bannon one with sound around when it happend and it seemed like a Heil. The crowd makes noise like they approve of the gesture and he does a little nod, like, yeah I did that.

Our riot is to stop buying dumb shit. Stop buying food from restaurants. Go to Aldi or winco. Stop buying anything you don't NEED. You don't need decorative holiday doormats for each season. You don't need to throw a party and entertain people who don't give a fuck about you to prove yourself to who? Santa Claus? The people from the mayflower? Francis Scott Key!? I think not. Buy a used car. Thrift clothes. Every new PlayStation game is eventually free on PS plus. Fuck capitalism.

There are no 'real stats' because the Belgian census does not register 'race'.
What it does tell you is the Brussels capitol region is about 2/3 Belgian citizens and 1/3 non-citizens. And that about 44% of the total have a non-EU immigrant background. "Immigrant background" is defined by the person or at least one of their parents being born abroad. Neither of these correlate directly with skin color (after all, white Englishmen now count as non-EU immigrants), but the largest immigrant group is Moroccans - do they count as 'white'? What about someone half-Moroccon, half-Flemish?
In any case, even if you counted everyone born outside the EU or with at least one parent born outside the EU as 'non-white', you'd still only be halfway to the claimed figure. So no, it's blatantly false.

So are these fuckers really getting less engagement all of a sudden, or is this one of those things that reddit wildly twists into technically happening but not nearly to the extent it is claimed to be?

u/Venomousfrog_554 6h ago
AFAIK, real MAGA are not particularly active online, in aggregate, and bots fill in the majority of MAGA engagement online. Most MAGA voters are either lurkers or aren't online at all (and ONLY get news from sources like Fox), so bots were needed to get the momentum to convince these lurkers they were in the majority. With one of Russia's server farms being destroyed correlating to a noticeable (but not particularly large, in the grand scheme of things) drop in online MAGA activity, evidence for that idea is clear.

To further elaborate; Brussels is the seat of the EU parliament and HQs many international organisations, so it stands to reason it has a high % of foreign ancestry.
Besides that, iirc, it actually counts all under-18 people with at least 1 non-Belgian parent. So, you have a Belgian father but Finnish mother? Gl, according to this clown. "Alice Smith", you're now a non-white foreigner.

Benjamin Franklin called German immigrants "swarthy", complained that they didn't speak English, and said that those coming to America from Germany were "the most ignorant, stupid sort" of their nation.

There is absolutely no proof that this has made any discernible impact on bot activity on the Internet. None. Attacking three data centers for the Russian version of Google does not suddenly drop bot activity all over the Internet. It doesn’t even put a dent in it.
The idea that bot activity has dropped off is in itself propaganda and disinformation. Now you are more likely to believe that what you see online is accurate because, “the bots are gone”.
You’re being spoon fed bullshit and you eat it with enthusiasm.

Waiit a minute.... do you think Elon Musk knows how to code or actually do highly functional power user activities on any of the computers at any of the tech companies he owns? This could be the root of your confusion here.
Elon Musk does not know how to code, Elon Musk is not an engineer, Elon Musk is not technically talented or officially proficient in anything. He has a basic bitch bachelor's degree in economics - he knows his daddy's emerald mine money and how to spend it, that's the only thing he knows how to do. He doesn't do things, or even think things, he pays other people to do so and takes credit for whatever works.
He's a parasite - not a visionary, or even a professional.
