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

https://disboard.org/server/1085633149540777994

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 brainwormsreally just that deeply ingrained at this point?

Edit: Missed an end "

    I think you’re mis-using the term honeypot. A fed honey pot would be some incoherent form of Maoism and Anarchism and would be actively trying to get you to commit violence. That would be a “fed”/FBI honeypot.

    “Federal” moderation of a discord server would be an intelligence agency psy-op. The plan would be to establish a limit on what is acceptable leftism in America by holding all the mod spots on the largest forums. If you believe they do it on subreddits then it makes sense to believe they do it on discord servers.

    Now all that said I want to loop back to: “establish a limit on what is acceptable leftism”. This is something any leftist will do of their own accord. Its the bane of leftism.

      You obviously haven’t seen many discord “marxist” servers. This fits like 90% of them to a T.

        No I haven’t but that doesn’t sound like the one OP is describing. It be really weird if a fbi were trying to convince you to do adventurism on one hand, while insisting you follow the state department line on the other. The CIA Psy-Op server could easily have the same politics.

          Sorry for the confusion, I was making joke that most discord leftists have completely incoherent politics that might as well be honeypots, not that I think that they are actually all FBI honeypots. I would imagine that the feds would rather just keep tabs on people on public discord servers rather than encourage adventurism. They might isolate “dangerous” individuals and invite them to more private servers to do that, but I doubt that is all that common.
