1. Desconocimiento General y Primeras Impresiones.
Muchos usuarios expresan no haber oído hablar de TPUSA hasta hace poco tiempo. El descubrimiento de la organización a menudo genera confusión, curiosidad y una reacción negativa inmediata, como se refleja en sus comentarios iniciales.
- What's tpusa and what's wrong about it? (btw, i apologize if this was misinformation. These are videos i ran into a while back. They seemed pretty genuine to me and i never looked further into it. From your tone it's a pretty bad source, correct?).
- Glad i’m not the only one. I have never heard of tpusa till a couple of weeks ago.
- I had to google tpusa. I wish i hadn't seen the title and my curiosity came to a hard stop!
- Follow this whole thread. I wasn’t aware of tpusa until just now and i think i’ll be taking a closer look. Abyss after abyss seem to open up these days.
2. La Asociación Constante con 'Toilet Paper USA'.
La burla más recurrente hacia la organización es la reinterpretación de su acrónimo como "Toilet Paper USA". Esta broma es omnipresente en las discusiones y se utiliza para ridiculizar y desestimar al grupo y sus miembros.
- Tpusa sounds like a toilet paper store that has iconic american things printed on each roll. Like big macs and children who have been shot.
- When ever i see “tpusa” i think they are referring to toilet paper. Makes sense, am i right?
- This simply proves what we knew all along, the "tp" in "tpusa" stands for "toilet paper.".
- I keep reading tpusa as toilet paper usa. Those small face memes have a hold on me.
- All this time i have assumed, based on members’ behavior, that the “tp” in tpusa referred to (used) toilet paper. The more you know!
3. Críticas sobre su Naturaleza, Métodos y Audiencia.
TPUSA es descrita como una organización de derecha que utiliza tácticas de propaganda, edición engañosa de videos y bots en redes sociales para llegar a un público joven. Se le acusa de ser un "grift", de tener vínculos con la supremacía blanca y de ser un vehículo para el proselitismo político.
- Tpusa is a rightwing evangelical nonprof/think tank that does a lot of youth outreach. Recently they teamed up with musk for election propaganda.
- Also, as is well established, tpusa is well known for deceptively editing so linking the original really doesn't add any extra context.
- What was the allure of tpusa? it was an operation to appear cool and hip and meme-y it was all astroturfed and its obvious to everyone with a brian.
- Because it's manufactured and the goblins eat it up a lot of people missed this but facebook came out proving that tpusa creates bot accounts that engage with posts with propaganda / radical rhetoric.
- People are calling it political violence, but has anyone looked at the foul play angle? tpusa is basically a money laundering scheme for a lot of shady people. There are lots of people enriching themselves. Maybe someone got greedy.
- I get that this is gross and rooted in white supremacy but with all the things going on right now, i wouldn’t let this bother me tpusa is truly not that popular with most young adults and those who are impressed by it are the effete debate-me bros that i am entirely unafraid of.
