Found this whilst scouring Reddit.
Also, can someone advise: is this the right community for this, or would it be better off in the politics/meme (though it’s not really a meme, even if it should be) kind of post?

Engagement and rage baiting .... everyone knows it's stupid, the creator knows its stupid, everyone who reads it knows it stupid ... so it causes everyone to get upset, confused, angry and interested in it ... even the fact you reposted it to share with us is a form of engagement and rage baiting.
It's all just mindless stupidity to keep us all angry and upset at thing we are already angry and upset about.
Isn't that called shitposting?
I am for real with my question. I always thought that is the definition of that term.
Shitposting is the internet equivalent of writing something on the bathroom stall while taking a shit.
Shit posting is mostly just posting low quality memes i think. So the guy who posted was serious and OP of this conversation is shitposting. He took a stupid ass post that makes no sense out of context and jabaited us into commenting
This was from a Charlie Kirk fan group. The creator most definitely does not think it’s stupid (not me, the original author) which is the thing: they genuinely believe this is a good thing.
It's part of the game of engagement and rage baiting .... even for believers or followers of Charlie Kirk, they know that anything they do or say causes rage or negative responses, which only drives their engagement.
It's like the age old saying about advertising and marketing ... any news, whether its good or bad, negative or positive is always good news ... because it means that people are talking about you.
That’s a fair point ig. I suppose it’s like that old saying ‘there’s no such thing as bad publicity if you want to become infamous’, though I personally do believe that there is ‘bad’ attention that can be drawn to something
The phrase you're looking for is "There is no such thing as bad publicity" Which is the cornerstone of Trumps political career.
