    Fine, since you said please. If you need any clarification just let me know.

    I’ll use Lemmy as an example, though the same applies to Reddit. A few months before the election, the phrase “Genocide Joe” was making the rounds. On the surface, it was a criticism of Biden for not stopping arms sales to Israel. I don’t disagree with that criticism. However, this wasn’t a campaign to pressure Biden into action—it was designed to convince Democrats not to vote in protest.

    Not everyone who repeated the phrase had bad intentions, but the origins and those aggressively pushing it weren’t doing so out of concern for Gaza. Their goal was something else: weakening the Democratic Party to help Trump win.

    They don’t like Trump or believe he would help Gaza—they know he’d make things worse. But that’s not the point. What they want is to accelerate the destruction of the United States by turning Americans against each other and weakening the government from within.

    A direct assault on the U.S. isn’t possible—we’re too powerful. The only way to bring us down is through internal collapse, by fueling division and distrust.

    After the election, many of the most vocal “Genocide Joe” accounts vanished or went silent. They had served their purpose. Now, the target has shifted: Republicans are next. Suddenly, there’s a surge in activity in conservative spaces, using new slogans tailored to stoke anger at Republican politicians and the government in general.

    This is the work of blackpill provocateurs—people who infiltrate movements under false pretenses, not to support them, but to spread division and hopelessness. Their tactics don’t change—only their targets do.

    Summary/TLDR

    Blackpill provocateurs infiltrate online communities to sow division and weaken the U.S. from within. Before the election, they pushed “Genocide Joe” to discourage Democrats from voting—not to help Gaza, but to damage Biden and help Trump. After the election, many of those accounts disappeared, having served their purpose. Now, they’re targeting Republicans, using similar tactics to turn conservatives against their own politicians. Their goal isn’t to help any cause—it’s to accelerate America’s collapse by fueling internal conflict.

    Humorously, X11 is like driving a 1990 Honda Accord. It was built ages ago, but with enough care, it still runs just fine.

    The good news? Over time, you’ve bolted on all sorts of modern conveniences: GPS, Bluetooth, maybe even a backup camera—but at the end of the day, it’s all just stuff you crammed in. Underneath, it’s still the same old car. It’s reliable, it gets great gas mileage despite the half a million miles on the odometer, and it’ll start even when it’s buried under a foot of snow. Sure, it takes some effort to pass emissions, but at least every mechanic knows how to fix it, and parts are cheap.

    Now for the bad news. Anyone with a flathead screwdriver can take it for a joyride whenever they feel like it. You keep finding it parked in weird places, but hey, at least they always bring it back. The airbags? They might work, but there’s only one way to find out. And let’s be honest—most modern cars have surpassed it in every possible way.

    The best part? It’s been paid off for decades. No one is just going to hand you a brand-new car because that would take a ton of money and effort. No matter how much you tinker with it, it’s still a 1990 Honda Accord. You can throw on some new tires, upgrade the suspension, and maybe swap out the brakes, but at the end of the day, it’s never going to have that brand new car feel.
