Congrats! You have successfully done a brigading! Pat yourself on the back! Next seminar, we will be covering how to subtly deceive strategically-important redditors with a simple tactic they don’t know of called ‘whataboutism’ sicko-hexbear

Edit: meant to post this in the secret group chat where we coordinate the fall of the west. Sorry y’all. My bad deeper-sadness

evrart — "It's not brigading, Harry! It's simply inciting a conversation! There's nothing that says we can't all engage in a simple little conversation, is there?"

de-rhetoric [Hard: Success] — He's right. There was a rule against it, back in your old haunt; but here is not there.

dubois-depressed — "There's nothing stopping us from banning you for brigading, anyway."

evrart — "Oh, don't be an asshole, Harry. You're a good man, and you're certainly not an asshole. Besides, while your mod powers are still missing, I don't believe you'll be able to ban anybody. Now, if you'd like to take this conversation a little more seriously, I'd be more than happy to assist you in locating that banhammer of yours again."

Brigading is something that Redditors think is real unlike the age of consent which they do not believe in

Brigading is when leftists post and the better their politics the more brigading it is.

Fun fact, did you know brigading doesn't exist on reddit anymore? The official reddit definition of brigading is when an r/chapotraphouse user also posts to any subreddit that is not r/chapotraphouse. Back when the old sub existed, almost all of our hundreds of thousands of users would constantly brigade the rest of reddit. Eventually we became the new boogeysub, taking the position from r/shitredditsays.

Unfortunately, that all became a thing of the past once r/chapotraphouse got banned.

God I hate whataboutism. Because no really what about it? Why are you comfortable taking such blatantly hypocrytical stances arrrrg. It just seems like a way to ignore valid critiques

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I can't find it, but a few years ago a user here did an effortpost showing how whataboutism was first used by the British to silence claims of wrongdoing in Ireland, and then quickly adopted and propagated by the CIA as a way to obfuscate discussion.

I think I am happy to be out of the loop

Every thread that involves Ukraine, China, Africa or the Middle East that reaches /all/ inevitably results in a million liberals complaining that Hexbear users are brigading it because we say things in those threads that they don't agree with and that makes them seethe therefore we must be coordinating it.

A lot of people don't seem to understand that because every instance on lemmy is federated to different instances, everyone's /all/ page is different. This means that when a thread shows up on /all/ for any given instance the users from that instance all show up at the same time. This ends up looking like some coordinated explosion of Hexbears but really it just means it reached top of /all/ for us.

tl:dr: Libs don't like what socialists say therefore it's all a sinister plot by russian bots.
