I feel like I would be really good at running a grift like this on a technical level, but I don't have the ethical flexibility required because you're still signal-boosting right-wing rhetoric.
I think when it comes to taking money from magats, I'd have the ethical flexibility. My problem is I can't interact with them in any way without losing patience and damaging my eyes from all the rolling.
That's what the AI is for
I would do it just for the trool
I got an idea instead of a grift what about we try to troll twitters magat with communist idea, I am bad at com, buzzing and all but good at technicalities. I fell like that a great hobby or game to do from the fedi. I have a selfhosted stack powered by solar panel to run LLM and image gen stuff. I can help generate content XD. I used it mostly to have funk with agents. Deepseek is sassy when doing drama against a qwen3
Shove the words "Patriot", "Americans", or what buzz words Republicans use.
"True American Patriotic Workers Run Their Companies." "Real, red blooded Americans band together to support each other." "CEOs don't do real work like patriots to do."
Careful, you can't bash the CEO's too hard, they hope to be one someday.
Or communist CEO steal the money of the worker real patriot pay enough for the American dream.
You can go like, communists CEO don't pay worker well enough to pay for their individuals comfort. And in another if you boss don't pay enough they are communist.
Ho American first pay it's people first, patriot own the money from their work.
The two first I would go like this. For the third I would use CEO shit against them self. Like Elon saying universal High income. Trool ing hard like Elon first to put a car in space first to invent universal high income.
I'm in. Let's do this.
<3 I was trying to reach @null but I got an error trying to send mp. I can setup a technical stack but I don't ise twitter usually. I got a VPN to create the account. I wonder if creating a community is the good call ?
What if you run the grift for a while then fully expose it was a scam and donate all the money to progressive causes, causing losers to hesitate engaging with or donating to right-wing causes again? Temporary and long term gain. That said, I have not thought this through for any longer than it took me to type it.
As if any of your victims will ever see the reveal. None of the other grifters will want to expose you and your reveal won't be boosted by the fascist algorithms, so for your victims it will be just like you dropped off the face of the earth, if they remember you at all between the dozen new scammers they see every day.
I'd run the grift until I was a billionaire, then use my money to lobby the government for all kinds of progressive/socialist legislation, then finish off with Campaign Finance Reform which would ban my lobbying that got all that progressive legislation passed, pulling up the ladder before the conservatives can do anything about it.
I'd get bored in like two hours lol
Nooo if I could I would sell socialist idea as maga. Like going 100% behind Elon universal high income or clashing on unamerican assurance companies.
You're not wrong. It actually would make America great again.
Imagine how they would be nuts if they discover a movement created on Lemmy. The publicity ... Especially that it Starr as a troll for magats
It's completely ethical to grift stupid and evil people. The issue of course is putting the time and effort to actually do it consistently.
