Ohio pastor Silas H. Shelton, who previously called for a ban on LGBTQ+ books and Pride flags, was arrested on October 16 for alleged sexual assault of a child.

 

She says a lot more but my eye rolling made me stop reading after the first five sentences

Bonus points if you can explain it without racism

 

I don't have a Reddit account but every day, Popular has a bunch of subreddits in a different language, Indian subreddits, or weird smut.

Thought it was just me since I'm not logged in.

Dear @POTUS Trump,

We love you and support you— but your suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to stabilize beef prices would be an absolute betrayal to the American cattle rancher.

We understand there are larger economic and geopolitical dynamics at play, including countering CCP influence in countries in our hemisphere. But the practice of solving problems “over there” before solving problems here on our soil is what contributed to the downfall of our country: Americans always come last.

We understand beef prices are high, and we admire your concern for all Americans, but this is not the fault of the American producer. This is the fault of politicians who have allowed BRICS-aligned entities to dominate the meat industry, that participate in price fixing and who also continually lie to their consumers.

Washington for decades has facilitated the squeezing of our own ranchers while allowing these entities to flood the market with cheaper, lower-quality imports -- and the American people don't even know these products are foreign because they are allowed to be marked as “Product of the USA”.

On top of all this—there is only chaos coming from the Department of Agriculture. There is no true guidance, mixed messaging, and a copious amount of photo ops. There is no one to trust over there that truly understands the issues and isn’t bought out by or aligned with Big Industries.

The American cattle rancher is one of the last symbols of independence we have in the nation—but the continued manipulation and betrayal by the very people who claim to support them, needs to end immediately. While only representing 1% of the population, the work is tireless, daily, in poor conditions, with low margins, without thanks— all in order to keep this country fed. We would be a failed nation if we continue to betray the very people who put food on the table for us. There are so many voices on the outside that support you and want to see you succeed. Maybe it’s time to start listening to them. Your team knows how to get in touch with us.

Sincerely, Meriwether Farms

Ah Argentina, the country Trump gave 40 billion to. America First apparently.

I apologize as I didn't fully get everything. This was just posted 15 minutes ago on Subreddit Drama, and if Reddit decides to delete it, here it is on Lemmy.

Coordinated Alt-Right misinformation network being pushed to the front page of Reddit.

I have noticed these subs infesting my feed for awhile now and decided to take a deeper look. this shit is scary, and symptomatic of our current information landscape. and it will only get worse.

there are a shared group of moderators: https://www.reddit.com/user/SwimmerPlus3383/submitted/

Im sure there are more, Dead-end-kid is a consistent link between all these communities, two of the most popular being: https://www.reddit.com/r/EuropeNewsandPolitics/

https://www.reddit.com/r/ThisMadeMe/

These subreddits are flooded with misinformation designed to rage bait the user, these are often racially charged. an example being:

https://www.reddit.com/r/ThisMadeMe/comments/1ocfeot/an_immigrant_harassed_a_young_man_on_the_tube_he/

Where a video from 2023 in RUSSIA, was framed to be a British teen being harassed by immigrants. there are plenty more examples of this if you look yourself.

These subreddits have been floating to the top of peoples feeds for some reason, whether these users are botting engagement to get there, or are manipulating the algorithm, or hell being put there on purpose by reddit. i do not know. what i do know is that this is symptomatic of our society at the moment, and that people should keep their eyes open, and also report the shit out of these assholes.

EDIT: some lovely person has linked a post that is relevant to this from 4 months ago, i urge you to check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditDrama/comments/1l8hno6/palantir_may_be_engaging_in_a_coordinated/

 

Shannon Kobylarczyk, the Milwaukee Brewers fan who threatened to call U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) on Ricardo Fosado, a Latino Los Angeles Dodgers fan, earlier this week, has been banned from the stadium where the incident occurred. She has also lost both of her jobs.

...

Kobylarczyk looks directly at Fosado and yells, “Real men drink beer, p***y!” She’s then seen tapping a man in front of her, before suggesting, “You know what, let’s call ICE.”
