See this for what it is @MaajidNawaz. Through @datasociety, the activist @beccalew becomes the ‘researcher’ @beccalew. Her methodology? *Selectively* presenting linkages to create a fictional Alternative influencer Network as if it arose from data.
This the Gated Institutional Narrative in action. ‘Researchers’ at institutions like @splcenter & @datasociety release reports to institutional media which is gated so as to avoid exposing activism packaged as methodical research. This leads to invite-only institutional meetings.
The invite-only ‘blue-ribbon’ institutional meetings at places like The National Academy of Sciences hand pick ‘experts’ and ‘stakeholders’ while excluding critics so that policy recommendations can be issued based on the agenda backed by the ‘research’ which was actually cover.
Let’s watch together shall we? This is why Becca is able to tell a bunch of Jews, PoC, women, progressives, Etc.. that they are a far right white supremacist group. Only the ‘gating’ and ‘institutional’ backing makes this work. This is as real as professional wrestling.
