Lemmy has a lot of people who are either right-wing or accelerationists. You can spot them by their “you’re not left enough” gatekeeping and the pushing of info condemning everyone but the right wing.
I think there’s a pretty solid group of people purposefully pushing it, and that gets parroted by people who get mad at the wind.
I've decided that he is maybe a secretly pro-Biden person who's playing the long game.
If he posts only anti-Biden stuff, and so haphazardly and repetitiously the exact same stuff that it's blatantly obvious what the game is, and it's transparently false enough that people pop up to debunk it consistently, and then instead of changing course he just repeats the same thing again, so people get constantly exposed to counterarguments for it that they never would have seen otherwise... what do you think is the result of that?
Personally, I have learned a ton of stuff about Biden's accomplishments because of talking to Ozma. He'll say "Biden's polls entered a CATASTROPHIC FREE FALL because of the debate we must dump him IMMEDIATELY" and I learned that they dropped by 2 percentage points and Biden's still polling ahead of all the other Democratic possibilities even when you include outlandish options like Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton. He'll say he, IDK, etc etc, I don't want to list this whole laundry list, but the point is that I am now significantly more pro-Biden than I was, purely because of talking to Ozma about him.
