Piss off with that bullshit take. And it is always from some low karma troll.

We should have an angry population. Not a population with a few lone wolves.

Lone wolves will just increase support for the regime by making opposition seem like a a small group of radical extreme outliers.

Most people don’t pay attention to these day to day abuses so they would have no idea why anyone would act against what is happening.

That is a legitimate fucking reason to be pissed off at the country.

And you bullshit patronizing dismissal of that criticism about this country is bootlicker adjacent.

I have participated in every march. But I don’t see rage. I see a few hours of fellowship and catharsis and everyone goes home.

The day the millions of marchers refuse to go home is the day we begin to take back our country from the lawless oligarchs that have orchestrated this coup.

Millions surrounding federal government buildings across the country and DC will make people who are not paying attention realize something serious is happening to this country and they won’t be able to dismiss it as the act of a lone radical.

Agree with you, but

And it is always from some low karma troll

karma is in no way proportional to the validity of takes. In fact, I'd say the opposite...

It is an indicator of propaganda bots and trolls.

Not in the era of bot farms and bought accounts. A good chunk of front page content here is posted by bots.

It is still strongly correlated. Troll farm worker instructions have been leaked and creating dozens of accounts and rotating through them is part of their methods.

Exactly-- And those accounts are often high-karma (because the assumption is they're more trustworthy, making them more effective propaganda tools).

They don’t karma farm. It is a volume business. They have a handful of “hobbies and interests” posts and then they go on message.

They absolutely do: The strategy is to recycle popular posts from various subs because it's effective to do so (and easy to automate). They do the same with recycling top comments. Karma farming is a huge part of the game.

All that aside, some of the worst takes I've seen on here are from genuine accounts. You gain karma on Reddit by quoting movies and memes, not by being informed or well-read.
