The head of the Environmental Protection Agency has announced a series of actions to roll back landmark environmental regulations, including rules on pollution from coal-fired power plants, climate change and electric vehicles.
You’re getting downvoted and I’m soon to follow, but everything you said is reasonable and it’s almost never wrong to ask for evidence. I continue to be surprised at how tightly this community clings to the narrative that non-voters alone decided the election.
I haven’t seen any of the obvious “data science fueled” bot activity on Lemmy that I noticed on Reddit well over a decade ago. These communities are barely 1/10000th the size of Reddit right now, and still 1/100th the size of Reddit from a decade ago. Lemmy is simply not large enough to be worth the effort for PsyOps operations.
The point of PsyOps is to run the campaigns on major “marketplaces of ideas” where they reach as many eyeballs as possible, and then the victims will repeat those narratoves elsewhere. The Cambridge Analytica CEO described it candidly in one of these. Threads on Lemmy are really just examples of the victims disseminating and perpetuating the propaganda. 99% of these comments are real people who genuinely believe the dumb shit they type.
That’s entirely possible. I haven’t seen any evidence that protest votes had any significant effect on the outcome. Mostly, people seem to have been less motivated in general, as well as widespread voter suppression purging voters from all states. But anyone who is screaming at protest voters for having morals that they refuse to compromise on is not only stupid, but has lost sight of what is virtuous. Empathy is a good thing, and having enough that you cannot support those who support genocide is admirable. Choosing the lesser of 2 evils is also admirable for different reasons. Society needs both. Frothing at the mouth about people not voting for a bad candidate is ridiculous.

I really think that’s part of the psy-ops. Just bots everywhere down voting anything supporting unity.

Nope, not a psy op. Very real person here that downvotes this horseshit.
PsyOps success story!
Sure thing, bud.
You’re the one living in a fascist dictatorship, but I’m sure you know what’s best. Neoliberalism has worked out well for you so far!
Yup. You got it.
