I ventured over to the website “disboard” to try to find more online friends that are at least slightly left of “hunting the poors for sport”
I came across “Leftist Alternative” and I’m 99% convinced this was a fed honeypot

I answered all of their “prerequisite/verification” questions. Mostly my answers were of the variety of “Amerikkka imperializes the planet for the 1%” and “it’s not the left vs right, it’s the 99% vs the 1%”
They gave me a LOT of push-back for not acknowledging the “genocide” in China. But it really went downhill when I said that the imperialism of Ukraine by both USA and the Russian was/is a fairly nuanced topic.
Obama Admits US Role in Ukraine Overthrow
Pro-US, Nazi-glorifying government
Ultranationalism, anti-semitism, neo-nazi pogroms, and attacks on LGBT groups.
Ultimately I ended with, “Every war is a banker’s war” and included I was against any/all imperialist movements (including Afghanistan, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Yugoslavia, Bosnia, Haiti, Congo, Liberia, and Sudan), but I could definitely see why NATO advancing, despite saying they wouldn’t move a single inch towards Moscow, would incite a push from Russia to get their old trade buddy back (not to mention Blackrock/JPM front-running grain futures before the invasion and then vying to steal the mineral rights away from Ukraine in exchange to build it back up)
This really set the feds off…
“OH YOU HATE JEWS DO YA?” - ‘Leftist’ Alternative
“Wait… huh?” - Me
“A ‘Bankers’ War Huh??? We could just tell you were an anti-Semite”
“Are you insinuating… that all Bankers are… jewish?” - Me
It immediately devolved into ad-hominems from the “lefties” so I left that right-wing hell-hole :(
Is Every “Leftist” Discord a Fed Honeypot?
Or are the lib really just that deeply ingrained at this point?
Edit: Missed an end "
a mutual aid group I’m in just switched from signal to discord. Its so disheartening.
If you can, you should bring up possibly switching to Matrix, you can’t let Discord get away with it.
I’ll bring it up but I don’t think I have that kind of pull really, its one of those things where it’s a big restructuring effort trying to get more organized which discord is theoretically making easier, and its all completely above-board work, so nobody really has opsec on the brain. I’m guessing they discussed this at a meeting I missed or something, which would have been the time to bring it up. even with literally no organizational features signal is better because I actually check it. I get notifications for it. I’m not installing discord, so idk if I’m gonna be helping that group as much. I guess I’ll use it in the browser, maybe, but I’d really rather not
