Seems like with X's pulling back the curtain we get a glimpse at how the social media political/cause rage machine works (not that we don't see/experience this on this board daily :-))

I’ll start with one of the most popular genres, and the genre that seems to have most badly burned the press: Gaza content.

This Palestinian news network is operating out of Egypt. This huge influencer “from Palestine” is living in North Africa. Here we have a Palestinian, reporting on the war, who is actually living in Ireland. Here’s another living in Indonesia (he’s alive, he helpfully reported back in July, in case you were wondering). Here we have a live-tweeting father in Gaza… who is actually living in Poland. This one appears mostly a grift for money, which is an entire repulsive genre of content (with another example from Canada here, and another from India here). Though I guess we should have seen the “Gaza dad’s” exposure coming after he posted just two days ago that he and his kids were freezing to death in a tent in Gaza in… 60 degree weather.

“Why are the founders of Kalshi paying Indian men to larp as mid females,” one user wonders. And it’s a good question. The answer is, I guess, while we all sort of suspected this was our internet, nobody is really prepared to behold the full extent of it, or what to do about it.

This lefty “American” Free Palestine chick is from Europe. But then so are all of these right wing “American” groypers. Moving beyond our most deranged radical politics influenced by bored Europeans, we have — *drum roll* — tech policy. Oh boy. Americans for Responsible Innovation? German. And goddamn does that check out.

Great read on Pirate Wires
