It feels like topics I used to only see on r/conspiracy—like Epstein and the deep state—are now all over mainstream subreddits.

The US is doing what it always has done, only now the pretexts are weaker than ever. Did things really have to get this obvious before people finally realized that western governments only care about what's best for the oligarchy?

Yes, lmao. To be fair, I do that frequently with other topics. When someone posts something general enough that I've already responded to it in-depth before, I usually fall back to previous responses of my own. I don't have time to actually hand-write in-depth responses for everything, but what I can do is spend effort on something I haven't seen before, and modify older comments to suit particularities and update the information if I've learned anything new or changed my stances.

I have a full-time job, a family, and hobbies, activist work, etc. to balance, so Lemmy is usually something I do when I have a few minutes of nothing else.

As an example, this comment is brand-new, while this comment is a modified version of an earlier effort-post I made.
