A video which features Ron DeSantis that includes a symbol often associated with neo-Nazi groups has been met with outrage after it was allegedly retweeted by his campaign team.

    "Newsweek has not been able to verify if it had been shared, or the account from which the clip was retweeted from. ’

    So… They just published this article without confirming that it even happened? I’m not doubting that it did because it seems pretty on brand but you would think a major news outlet would make sure before they publish an article stating it did.

      News gotta go fast, 24 hour news cycle and still not enough time for all of it. Fact checking? That’s for losers, and if you’re not first you’re a loser.

          It’s unfortunate how successful this propaganda is, but it makes sense.

          It’s well produced content with a catchy song. It’s normalizing hate through meme culture and radicalising impressionable people.

          Similarly, I believe this documentary talked about qanon and right wing hate groups using similar tactics on facebook, instagram and other “normie” social media, not just the 4chan incel cave, https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feels_Good_Man

        Take my angry upvote; it’s true; getting there first matters more than getting it right for those views. They maybe go back and edit later.

      Was hoping we could do better here at not just sharing and upvoting articles based on titles, but this is already in my TopDay, so…
