Faker and Gayer Than Ever

It appears that Reddit is seeking investment or something, as its admins have been caught faking content in an attempt to juice numbers.

Recently Reddit admins have been caught using bots or fake accounts to artificially populate newly created German subreddits. It appears that the goal is to populate new subreddits to establish German versions of popular subreddits such as Explainlikeimfive, Crazyideas, Offmychest, Tooafraidtoask, and Tipofmytongue. However, the translations are nonsensical and read as if they were done by someone who used Google Translate.

There were several threads found that were stolen from English subreddits, simply poorly translated and then republished there by accounts less than 14 days old. Pretty much all the content these subs currently have and always the same 9 users who also constantly answer each other themselves.

This revelation has sparked heated discussions and amusement on r/de. Users have been sharing their thoughts and reactions to this discovery. Some find it funny, but the majority find the situation embarrassing and react with disappointment and frustration that Reddit administrators are resorting to such tactics to artificially inflate the popularity of these new German subreddits.

This is why it makes absolutely no sense to inflate or exaggerate your Internet traffic. I haven’t paid any attention to it since Google kicked me off Blogger and it became impossible to do a historical apples-to-apples comparison. I have absolutely no idea how many people visit anything but Arktoons on a daily basis, and even there, I’m more interested in tracking our number of total episodes than anything else.

Especially in a world where AI bots make up the majority of traffic on most sites, paying subscribers, customers, and clients are the only numbers that matter. Which, of course, is why absolutely no one ever discusses or reveals them, unless forced to do so in some highly polished manner by Wall Street.

Release the Deepfakes!

The US military – which is obviously active in the war against Russia despite its ridiculous denials – is trying to figure out how to deny responsibility for its own hardware which has been blown up inside Russia

US struggling to explain images of its destroyed hardware inside Russia. The Russian Defense Ministry has released footage showing American vehicles used by Ukrainian militants in Belgorod attack

US officials have denied that equipment provided to Ukraine by its western backers was used by militants to stage an incursion into Russia that left multiple civilians injured and one dead. The denials run contrary to the multiple images across social media depicting US-made military vehicles destroyed in Belgorod Region.

Given the incompetence with which NATO has been waging this war, we can safely anticipate US officials blaming “AI” and “deepfakes” for the photographic evidence of the US military’s involvement in the failed attack on Russia, followed by the release of some very weird images of destroyed nine-wheeler sporting orange camouflage paint under a pair of purple moons and various videos of Emma Watson without her clothes on.

No Comment Necessary

AC’s reader got a response from Miles Mathis:

As for Vox Day, he has already lost that argument, which is why he is so angry. Trying to desperately to engage me, but I couldn’t care less. My real numbers dwarf his. Nobody gives a shit what he thinks about anything and he knows it.

UPDATE: AC did a comparison for the more dialectically-minded.

Fake and Gay Flag

This staged incident in DC can’t even be said to rise to the level of “false flag” because it’s too obviously fake and gay. It’s primarily remarkable for being the only thing to happen in the last week that is more obviously false than the claims that the New York paparazzi engaged in a dangerous, two-hour, high-speed chase of Meghan and Harry Markle.

Police investigators pulled an apparent Nazi flag from a U-Haul truck crashed into a barrier near the White House Monday night. Eyewitnesses say the truck was driven twice into a barrier before stopping. The incident took place at the north side of Lafayette Park at 16th and H St, NW. Police laid out the flag on the sidewalk near the truck, apparently for the media to film, before folding it up and taking it away.

Video by freelancer Nathan Howard shows the flag being folded up and taken away by police after being laid out for the media to film.

It’s tough to be a policeman in Clown World. I doubt many of them ever took the classes to prepare for all the acting that is now an integral part of the job. This is only the first, and probably not the dumbest or the most obvious, of the false flags that the federal government will be staging this summer.

Redefinitions and Rhetoric

Just like an “antisemite” is anyone the ADL doesn’t like, “hate speech” is any speech that the clowns of Clown World hate.

Facebook’s demonstrated hatred for Christianity wasn’t an accident either. The action was confirmed and exacerbated by a Facebook moderator.

Hallowell posted the comment on Facebook around April 2.

He posted his Christian message around Easter time, making the statement more pertinent.

But the post quickly got flagged for allegedly violating the community hate speech policy.

He then received a warning that it could be “reviewed.”

At that point, the punishment that Facebook’s censoring machine thought fit the “crime” was to make the post invisible to anyone but the author.

After the post was reviewed by a Facebook moderator, the crackdown became more severe.

The post was deleted altogether after an “appeal.”

“Your appeal was reviewed,” claimed Facebook.

“We are unable to show content that goes against our community standards on hate speech.”

Actions like these serve to clearly demonstrate the historical fact that “free speech” and “freedom of religion” were always evil lies that were designed from the very beginning to permit Clown World to plant its roots throughout Christendom and undermine Christian society. The Enlightenment was an intrinsically satanic movement from its inception to its fruition, and the answer is to ruthlessly and relentlessly reject both its tenets and its adherents in the name of Jesus Christ.

Never forget that evil always redefines words in order to confuse you, and that there is no inherent informational content in rhetoric.

Zelensky Avoids Ukraine

Given the fact that the Kiev regime’s resident comedian has travelled around the world while assiduously avoiding any return to Ukraine, it appears that regime change in Ukraine may be nigh.

Weeks ago I learned that the American intelligence community was aware that some officials in Western Europe and the Baltic states want the war between Ukraine and Russia to end. These officials have concluded that it is time for Zelensky to “come around” and seek a settlement. A knowledgeable American official told me that some in the leadership in Hungary and Poland were among those working together to get Ukraine involved in serious talks with Moscow. “Hungary is a big player in this and so are Poland and Germany, and they are working to get Zelensky to come around,” the American official said. The European leaders have made it clear that “Zelensky can keep what he’s got”—a villa in Italy and interests in offshore bank accounts—“if he works up a peace deal even if he’s got to be paid off, if it’s the only way to get a deal.”

So far, the official said, Zelensky has rejected such advice and ignored offers of large sums of money to ease his retreat to an estate he owns in Italy. There is no support in the Biden Administration for any settlement that involves Zelensky’s departure, and the leadership in France and England “are too beholden” to Biden to contemplate such a scenario. There is a reality that some elements in the American intelligence community can’t ignore, the official said, even if the White House is ignoring it: “Ukraine is running out of money and it is known that the next four or months are critical. And Eastern Europeans are talking about a deal.” The issue for them, the official told me, “is how to get the United States to stop supporting Zelensky,” The White House support goes beyond the needs of the war: “We are paying all of the retirement funds—the 401k’s—for Ukraine.”

And Zelensky wants more, the official said. “Zelensky is telling us that if you want to win the war you’ve got to give me more money and more stuff. He tells us, ‘I’ve got to pay off the generals.’ He’s telling us”—if he is forced out of office—“he’s going to the highest bidder. He’d rather go to Italy than stay and possibly get killed by his own people.”

It will be interesting to see how long Zelensky lasts once he returns to Ukraine – if he returns to Ukraine.

Gen X Answers Gen Z

This Gen X woman’s response to an innocent question is both hilarious and absolutely 100-percent true.

So when y’all are saying that y’all used to drink from the hose… were sinks not an option?

For fuck’s sake. Whose gonna tell him? You want me to tell him? I’ll tell him.

We weren’t allowed in the house!

I don’t know why that’s so hard for people to understand. Our childhood was like one never-ending episode of that TV show, Survivor, okay? We are indestructible. We never sat in car seats, nobody’s ever given us swimming lessons, we’ve all either been shot with a BB gun or stabbed with a fucking jart. The television stations had to make a commercial reminding our parents that they had kids!

I shit you not! Every night, on the 10 PM news, a voice would come on and say: “It’s 10 PM, do you know where your children are?” To remind our parents that they had fucking kids.

So, no, Sir Shirtless with the beanie. Sinks were not an option.

UPDATE: To be fair, being dropped off at 7 AM to go skiing all day with the Otto Hollaus Ski School or being left at the neighborhood ice rink with nothing but an unheated “warming hut” after lunch to play hockey until dark were some of my favorite childhood experiences.
