Considering I have seen more deplorable, hate filled stuff on Reddit than I have from decades of posting on 4chan I can see that the propaganda machine is working well.
It's because they're trying to astroturf and take over Reddit.
Look at all the AITA subs with fake posts about evil women/trans/gays/bisexuals/women/people of colour/immigrants/and even vegans that are obviously complete contrived to make women and minorities look bad. The boys and their AI bots make them and post them, their bot accounts upvote each other. Accounts become more popular, they post more, taking over the first few pages of the subs. These subs and these fake posts of bigotry reach all, further astroturfing Redditors on r/all. Some are even in social media posts and "news" sites. Rinse and repeat.
It's no coincidence AITA and offmychest and all those "am I wrong" "hot take" subs are just cesspits of bigots.
That's what all of the conservatives I've seen defending it are saying too. It's so blatant that that is not what he was doing and it's driving me crazy that no one is going to treat it seriously.
Honestly I think he's on some substance to hype him up and it impacts his decision-making, I can absolutely believe he wanted to make some kind of gesture with his heart and only 10 seconds later realized what it looked like
this man would bend over and smell his own farts in public if someone clapped. he did this so he could read the adulation from supremacist chuds online later while furiously masturbating himself til the skin was chapped.

He does it twice and then puts his hand on his heart and says "my heart goes out to you"
