We have heard a million stories about chuds brigading leftist R*ddit subs, Twitter accounts and so on and so on, mass reporting them or flooding their replies. It seems effective. Can we do some of the same? I mean, we're all leftists and terminally online in here anyways so why not coordinate our shitposting efforts a bit?

I don't know anything about the necessary opsec about this kind of stuff so please dunk on me if I'm suggesting anything stupid or unsafe. I wouldn't want to join a troll army without being sure the chuds couldn't retaliate against my comrades or myself.

    We have a duty to protect the users of this community. When we are going on the offensive we can't guarantee people will get dragged into the consequences they didn't sign up for.

      Absolutely. Any kind of coordination should be done safely and without traces leading back here.

        I don't think it's possible to publicly organise something like that but also not have it lead back to here. Those seem irreconcilable?

          Who cares, this is the internet and none of this mattters.

          The real issue is that people here won't do it.

          I tried from the beginning to get people to go post on /r/breadtube and take it back from the shitty liberals but nobody seemed interested.

      Maybe some secret troll army com that is only visible to long time users with a reasonable post count?

        If that's possible, that would be cool. We could also organize using something like Discord, or make our own subreddit and set it to private when users are confirmed.

          Don't do a subreddit. The admins can still see them even when they're private, and they can also analyze where brigades come from. They'll shut it down very quickly

    /r/[REDACTED] is receptive to the class struggle and anti cop rhetoric if you frame it right.

      I'm intrigued. What would be a good way to disrupt chud stuff or spread class consciousness in there?

        Just keep posting about the income shift towards the 1% and profits extracted from workers, you can easily get top posts but then you have to do a whole lot of work in the comment section. I've seen some great stuff get to the top of the sub but the comment sections are hard, we need better posters than me to take up the cause.

        They're also very receptive to talking about systemic sexual abuse (especially if involves minors) because it ties in to that whole child trafficking conspiracy.

        The expansion of the surveillance state and the militarization of the police are also good talking points.

        Right now the sub is trashed with covid talking points, anything else is likely to gain more traction than normal imo

    The "brigading" that the sub did that the R*ddit admins were ticked off at was casual reactions to screenshots that got posted. And we're now poised to do even more of that kind of thing, uninhibited.

    This place does low-key raids all the time; whenever a r*ddit or tw*tter screenshot is posted, the link is also posted or found and then, you know, the thing.

    We need /c/brigade A home for organizing raids & swinging our weight around. Can make alt accounts & shit specifically and only for that purpose.
