Otherwise gee fucking idiots I guess you realy needed a whole research department to figure things out like
•Alt-Right supergroup activity remains near its all-time high. This activity has been high since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August (Fig. 1).
•The forums with the greatest use of Violent/Aggressive discourse in November were in Health Misinformation, scoring higher than Incels/Femcels and the Extreme Right (Fig. 7).
•Reference to sex crimes was up 13% in December and was up 32% since August (Fig. 11).
:the-democrat: reading this : "Great, its all according to the plan. Carry on mrMcdoofus, keep us informed, this is very useful information, it will come in handy when we decide to do absolutely nothing for the next 2 years."
The sharp rise in Violent/Aggressive Discourse in the Extreme Left is an artifact of the inclusion of Hexbear.net. The amount of history that can be collected from
Hexbear right now is minimal.
Remember guys. If you just police thought, and tell people they aren't starving or dying, they won't become radicalized. :so-true:
The fucking stupidity of shit like this. Both right and left radicalization is a result of failing material conditions, not "think groups" like liberals love to believe. If you want the "extremes" to go away, start providing a quality life to people without having to take it from someone else. But naturally that would require people like the ones that did this study to understand the system. It would also require these people to realize they are part of the problem.
Another important thing to note is that they will not crackdown on "internet spaces" until a left-wing one becomes a "problem". Right-wing spaces will be monitored, but be allowed to fully exist forever until they are a source of direct threat to capital. Leftist spaces threaten capital by nature.
Case in point: when :reddit-logo: decided to ban the chapo sub because it was becoming popular. They had allowed The_Donald to exist all that time and used that as the excuse for banning "extreme forums" when really it was just an excuse to get rid of the leftist subreddit. They even went on a purge of the smaller offshoots that popped up after.
Also worth noting that since the invasion of Ukraine the rule has been rescinded and Reddit now lists the ban of CTH as "violating Reddit’s rule against promoting hate"
r/The_Donald had already migrated to their own website at that point. They waited for them to leave then used tearing town their "we have moved" sign as evidence of their impartiality while banning r/cth at it's peak
