  • I always got the impression that the governments just found out about tweeting when all this was already underway, and just didn’t have any idea or plan to counter it. It felt like they were just stuck in a completely different game and didn’t even realise what really was happening on social media all the time. The first viable counter strategies seemed to pop up with the late Biden campaign, targeting disinformation in the comment sections.

    There’s no excuse though, when someone like me gets the picture relatively early.

    Man, the hurricane “weather control” comments on all weather related topics and videos has been insane. It was imediately clear that it’s part of the “boost everything crazy and dividing” strategy.

    I try for years now to get my point across, not get caught in discussions and not getting divided. You bet it isnt easy in the work environment and with people I meet.

    Edit: And yet we both thinking alike were clashing and dividing… It’s tough keeping composure


  • When I started seeing the patterns, I was convinced that the arab spring was some sort of test run of whats to come, and I think I wasnt that far off.

    I was gaslighted so much for calling out russian bot farms and astro turfing before the word made sense to most.

    I started getting curios when all those depressive meme subreddits started popping up on reddit, shortly before 4chan had it’s exodus because “Moot is SJW now”, and Donald Trump announced his presidency. Only later I pieced together that it started way earlier and not only on the Internet, but in all regards, and the severity of it. Terror attacks, immigrant streams, discrediting of MSM and installing numerous dubios Media outlets that follow the 60:40 rule (60% truth, 40% lies and fear), parties with dubios money sources popping up all over the world and so much more.

    It has been some insane years of seeing all this coming and getting gaslighted for it. I think I’m keeping myself sane at the moment by creating hopeful patterns in the chaos that keep my spirits up.





  • I thought I was pretty precise in my first reply to you, that you took for someone else’s.

    There’s a lot of advantages in blaming…" sounds like a conspiracy theory itself.

    Do you suggest that blaming russia, Facebook or murdoch is only done because it’s advantagous to some?

    You speak in riddles, giving way too much room for interpretation. You expect us do to research, instead of just saying what you want to say and then backing it up with a source. You make a disambiguos statement and post some seemingly random quotes and less random articles. But the work you put on us to understand you is immense, so people like me react defensive, especially on the Internet where the times of assuming good faith are long over.

    I’m sorry for putting you down, I don’t do it often but I got ahead of myself. I felt attacked by your replies and went into defensive mode. You did as well and we escalated instead of really trying to understand each other. .

    We’re very similar.
