Social media is mostly bots, most people hate the government
Liberals are at a point where they hate the Dems and the GOP
The right wing coalition is falling apart with Candace owens, Tucker carlson, and Nick Fuentes separating the Nazis from the evangelical Christians.
Material conditions are getting worse, but we haven’t had the ai bubble pop or war with Venezuela. Either will make life way worse for the west and we’re gonna see chaos.
Idk what’s gonna happen, but I think trump 2.0 has kinda turned a lot of people away from the right by both making material conditions worse and being mean and annoying.
Look at any news sub on reddit and it’s filled with pro Israel bots and shit. But the amount of obvious pro Israel propaganda from the state and by bots and shit was so obvious it’s now turning every right winger under the age of 40 into a Nazi.
I don’t think the mass botting campaigns work. They only make people more upset at the right and make the right look like extremely annoying assholes.
The right won a lot of ground by going “Le woke is trying to put politics into everything”
But now every fucking social media thread about sports or video games or movies gets brigaded by obvious right wing bots, even the most stupid liberals I know hate it.
People hate this it makes it seem like right wingers are now the annoying sjw that makes everything about politics (they always have been) and since most people under 40 get their news from tiktok and shit the bots and MSM manufacturing consent campaigns don’t work.
My mother is 60 and gets her news from tiktok. She doesn’t want the US to invade Venezuela, literally nobody does only bots do.
It’s backfiring but I think the admin is super on twitter and think it’s working. I think they legit do not understand that they’re getting everyone to hate them and theyre making material conditions worse. I think they also believe more in the polymarket shit than polls because they’re that stupid.
What happens next? Trump’s polling is the worst it’s ever been. The right wing coalition has collapsed and now maga is basically only the white evangelical boomers.
If material conditions get worse we’re gonna see more Luigis and Tyler Robinsons in a country with way to many guns.
I disagree.
Nick Fuentes isn’t popular. I think he’s well known now and has an incredibly online and loud fans, but he’s never gonna have a big audience.
Less than 1% of the population currently listens to him and he’s probably at his peak rn. He’s gonna fall off eventually as the right moves on to the next guy.
Owens is doing really well but I don’t think she’s attracting anyone new. She’s just absorbed the audiences of Shapiro, crowder, pool, and has gotten a lot of the boomer and Gen x evangelicals to watch her.
She’s not converting anyone, she’s just a case of there being a lot of right media personalities 5 years ago but because of Israel, they’re all hated now. If you look at Shapiro and pool they’re all hating on her because they stole their audiences. Her massive growth is just her stealing the tpusa and daily wire audiences plus older audiences going more online for news.
Tucker is the scary one that everyone should watch out for.
I have seen zero evidence that we’re gonna get an actually large right wing media guy.
Tucker was that on Fox News, I don’t think they can do it again, but if anyone can do it it’s him.
The right is in power and people aren’t that stupid, they know the right is making their lives worse. Only people already committed to fascism will stay committed.
What we are seeing be popular are left wing populist figures like zohran
Zohran has a million times more motion than any of these online right wing Nazi influencers. The difference is he doesn’t have a terminally online fanbase and bots to push his shit 24/7
It might not be any of the current crop. A decade ago I would have said Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson were contenders and now they’ve fallen off. It probably won’t be a singular figure and it doesn’t need to be. Some of the biggest right wing threats like megachurches and constitutional sheriffs grow rhizomatically through a bunch of mini-Hitlers neither of us could name. One of the other big themes of the 1930s was the collapse of state welfare putting it in the hands of churches and protestant-run citizens councils that judged the worthy poor in newspapers. As the state and its legitimacy erode, local authority and small movements gain more power. Online personalities will be the ones manufacturing consent for the mini-Hitlers in that decentralised country. If a streamer can mobilise 100 people in any small area, that’s enough to swing most small town elections or intimidate most municipal meetings.
