Are they living too far away? Too poor to go there? Bots? Laziness? Are they not interested in military parades despite liking to denounce protesters?
What’s the big reason?
Because Elon’s no longer in Trump’s entourage to pay people to show up.
Bots and people like asmongold who have no actual human connection and stay in their basement all day don’t typically go to parades.
I never noticed but I can say that places where they announced a no kings day celebration in a very red area people where talking shit about running over protesters but at the event no one actually violent. At best shouting in a public area.
Id go with people act the way they want online, but the act different in front of a human
Fear is marketed. It makes money.
The AI bots wanted to attend but the tech to give them robot bodies isn’t ready yet. It’s okay though, they were there in spirit.
A lot of those people are from rural areas and are afraid of cities like DC. Lmao. Source: I am From DC and now live in a rural area and my yokel coworkers thinks anything past the 66/81 interchange is a hellscape
Grifters, who don’t care but act like they do for money.
Astrofurfing, who are being paid to say things.
Bots, who aren’t people so can’t attend.
The gravy seals are the ultimate keyboard warriors.
Difficult to attend the parade, flights from Russia are spendy.
There is astroturfing, but there is also a lot of propaganda and story curation around the protests.
Some are too busy posting on your instance than attending
You think an M-L community is supportive of Trump? Where do you get your thoughts from?
I was able to watch it on youtube in the comfort of my home without having to deal with travel, parking, and protester crap.
What a thrilling experience that must have been for you. The Pomp and the pageantry huh?
I enjoyed the way they did the historical uniform and weapons display. It was pretty neat. I wouldn’t call it “thrilling” but it was decent background material while working. Parades aren’t what they used to be of course, the internet kinda changed everything.
I realize you’re being cheeky, and that’s ok. I expect it here.
Heavy propaganda
youtube is one of the wrost offenders for botted comment sections, especially around political posts. maybe 1 in 20 are actually human. and most of those human comments are them remarking on the bot comments.
illusions are powerful until you know how they work.
Whenever I look at the comments of a Gamer’s Nexus video, Steve often remarks on the hordes of bots he banned, but when I go to other videos, I usually am unable to tell what’s real and what’s fake. I guess that the commenters that have scantily-clad women as their profile picture probably aren’t real, but are there other signs that I can look out for? Naturally, I don’t attach more than a grain of credibility to YouTube comments, but I just want to really get a feeling of just how botted they are.
Because ‘fuck those guys who are inconveniencing me, let me rant on youtube for free and maybe make some money’ is a lot more accessible than ‘yay that guy, let me spend a bunch of money to show up at his thing’.
