What's the deal with Zero Hedge comments sections?
posted 1 year ago by Stagecoach 1 year ago by Stagecoach +28 / -0

I recently noticed there's quite a few foreign accounts on there that are openly anti-American and pro-Canada or pro-Chinese. I thought ZH was supposed to be a libertarian site, so it's weird to see so many shilling for those countries.

It is libertarian, that is why it has invaders.

Libertarians simultaneously don't believe in borders while openly advocating for the right to shoot trespassers on their property, which has borders.

They don't seem to understand that without a collectivized organization dedicated to defending themselves from outsiders, they are just an archipelago of lootboxes waiting for a stronger outside force to conquer them.

Take Ruby Ridge for example. Living alone in the woods miles away from people didn't stop the government from going after Randy Weaver. They violated the borders of his property and murdered his family because they could.

Even with a group of people like in Waco, the government vastly outnumbered and outgunned them. The local townsfolk didn't rush to their aid, because they were a bunch of kooky weirdos who lived by themselves in a compound. They didn't have any kind of defense network in place to resist a hostile force.

Pretty much every time I listen to any libertarian, whether it be on a podcast or a debate, they never seem to understand that you have to have borders beyond your white picket fence. There is a reason why we didn't let the Soviets regularly fly their planes over our territory all the time (excluding diplomats of course).

Hell, your fucking body has borders, and immigration control. A libertarian's ideal body would have full blown AIDS and be drowning in viruses.

Having some guns to defend your home isn't going to work when there is a mob of 500 Jihadist Cartel Niggers intent on burning your house down and raping you and your family to death.

I've long believed that white blood cells are racist. First of all, they're white, and secondly, they keep out intruders.

The comment section everywhere is filled with foreigners. The only reason this website isn't is because most foreigners don't know about it. X is barely usable, every second account is some foreigner whining about some niche issue or the foreigner is making their low IQ too obvious.

zerohedge had to heavily censor their comments after they were blacklisted by google for not censoring enough

they are a communist site

they'd censor you for mentioning the coin clippers and Niggers

every comment section of theirs have been diluted to "Da democrats are da problem!" so no White person who reads their kosher slop will come to the correct conclusion and will just continue to vote red ad nauseam

Do they censor people? I see people comment about the jews all the time there.

From what I can tell, swear words and "jews" (at least) get automatically turned into asterisks, but it's a very basic filter. Some get around it by partial self-censoring like on Twitter or adding spaces.

did that change? i haven't been there since like January 2024 so maybe like Twitter they're finally allowing a smidgen of free speech because most of these Kosher conservative sites are on life support

Same issue with 4chan, but the recent leak explains a lot of the rabid TDS or Uniparty shilling

Its probably a combination of things:

Lack of aggressive moderation.

Bots using LLMs in order to push their propaganda.

Trollfarms paid for by various governments and NGOs.

Spontaneous trolls that just do what they do best.

ZH trolls itself to generate clicks

Comments there are 90% bots

You can spin up hundreds (thousands) of AI bots, give them vague talking point and positions and then turn them lose. You have to filter out the noise.
