Are they living too far away? Too poor to go there? Bots? Laziness? Are they not interested in military parades despite liking to denounce protesters?
What’s the big reason?
Bots can’t attend a parade in person
Astroturfing doesn’t translate well IRL.
youtube is one of the wrost offenders for botted comment sections, especially around political posts. maybe 1 in 20 are actually human. and most of those human comments are them remarking on the bot comments.
illusions are powerful until you know how they work.
Whenever I look at the comments of a Gamer’s Nexus video, Steve often remarks on the hordes of bots he banned, but when I go to other videos, I usually am unable to tell what’s real and what’s fake. I guess that the commenters that have scantily-clad women as their profile picture probably aren’t real, but are there other signs that I can look out for? Naturally, I don’t attach more than a grain of credibility to YouTube comments, but I just want to really get a feeling of just how botted they are.
Bots!
Difficult to attend the parade, flights from Russia are spendy.
A lot of those people are from rural areas and are afraid of cities like DC. Lmao. Source: I am From DC and now live in a rural area and my yokel coworkers thinks anything past the 66/81 interchange is a hellscape
Bots and people like asmongold who have no actual human connection and stay in their basement all day don’t typically go to parades.
Because ‘fuck those guys who are inconveniencing me, let me rant on youtube for free and maybe make some money’ is a lot more accessible than ‘yay that guy, let me spend a bunch of money to show up at his thing’.
The gravy seals are the ultimate keyboard warriors.
The AI bots wanted to attend but the tech to give them robot bodies isn’t ready yet. It’s okay though, they were there in spirit.
Because Elon’s no longer in Trump’s entourage to pay people to show up.
Heavy propaganda
