Let me present to you a recent youtube video from Fox “News” that I ran across in my feed, “Hormuz clash ERUPTS as Trump threatens LETHAL force”. 1 hour old and over 800 comments, with about 80% of comments being from bots created within a day and containing the word “Grokarium” (I’m guessing some type of Elon Crypto scam).
I’ve seen calls before for people to engage others in spaces like these to push back on the narrative they’re presenting and the bubble they exist in. Don’t waste your time in a place like that, instead focus on those around you or smaller online spaces like Lemmy for instance. I find a lot of the discussions I see helpful for how to approach and inform others that may be out of the loop but a place like youtube just isn’t real and a waste of your time to comment.
Every comment section is xenophobic
Every problem is the fault of “immigrants, democrats, black people”
Japan very civilized because… “it’s homogenous society, unlike the US”… 🧐
CCP Shills
Far-right falsely accusing all Chinese diaspora of being CCP Spies… 🙄
And mean like… you got both Tankies and Sinophobes on one platform… oh boy… 👀
I wonder what happens when you mix the two… oh, behold
The Sinophobic Tankie? (There are white male foreigners that shills for CCP while simultaneously has horrible Chinese language skills and looks down on the actual average Chinese people, especially that they look down on those that don’t speak English, and also has Asian fetish and are mysogynistic towards Chinese women… aka: the “sexpats”)
